London, UK, 5 November 2024 – IFS, the leading technology provider of enterprise cloud and Industrial AI software, today announced that the Doppelmayr Group, the leader in high-quality ropeway systems and provider of efficient intralogistics solutions, has decided to upgrade to IFS Cloud to power digitalization and drive global growth.

Doppelmayr’s decision to transition to IFS Cloud for ERP was driven by its strategic focus on the internal digitalization of its operations. By moving to IFS Cloud the company will benefit from twice-yearly releases of new features and capabilities, enabling it to streamline its complex processes across 55 countries, while gaining a unified solution that consolidates many of its systems into one. The integration will also eliminate the need for multiple customizations, providing a single source of truth for Doppelmayr’s data.

Gerhard Gassner, Managing Director at Doppelmayr, said: “Over the last 15 years, IFS has essentially become the digital backbone of our business processes worldwide. We use IFS for everything from sales to engineering, manufacturing to installation, and even the commissioning and maintenance of ropeways. Moving to IFS Cloud is integral to the digital transformation journey we are on.” 

The extended global capabilities mean that Doppelmayr’s sales locations worldwide, as well as its production sites, can operate under the same system. Set to start immediately, the implementation will cover most functional areas of Doppelmayr’s business and involve more than 3,000 employees across multiple sites.

Sebastian Spicker, Managing Director, DACH at IFS, said: “Doppelmayr’s long-standing commitment to innovation and quality aligns perfectly with our vision at IFS. By transitioning to IFS Cloud, Doppelmayr will benefit from a unified, scalable platform that will transform their digital operations. At the same time, it will eliminate the need for them to run future upgrade projects, ensuring they are evergreen and freeing up time to deliver more business value through a connected global ERP platform. We look forward to supporting Doppelmayr as they continue to lead their industry and deliver exceptional value to their customers worldwide.“
