Case Study: Holmen AB achieves streamlined maintenance, improved uptime and lower costs with IFS enterprise asset management

Holmen streamlines maintenance, supports uptime, and reduces costs with IFS enterprise asset management solution

Holmen is a vertically integrated forest-products company operating sawmills, paper and paperboard mills and a renewable-energy business. With thousands of users and each mill containing hundreds of thousands of maintenance objects, Holmen faced a fragmented, non-scalable system landscape and needed a data-driven, preventative maintenance capability to secure uptime and support growth and acquisitions.

Holmen has used IFS enterprise asset management and ERP across the group to centralize data, streamline processes and deliver role-specific IFS Lobbies dashboards for instant visibility. The solution improved usability and onboarding, enabled predictive maintenance and KPI reporting via Power BI, reduced customizations by ~60%, and supported a smooth 2021 upgrade—resulting in lower costs, better budgeting and decision-making, and improved uptime and on-time delivery.
