Novacura Flow is to be used by the Norwegian Civil Defense. The Norwegian Civil Defense is subordinate to the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection and Emergency Planning (DSB). Over the years their over 20 locations have utilized different and sometimes outdated tools and software systems to manage the operations listed above. The Civil Defense realized these systems were undependable and the process of compiling all the data had become a tedious task. According to Lars Sørsdal, Head of Investigation, Operation, Plan and Exercise: Novacura Flow made it much more efficient for us. Our ERP system [IFS Applications] is very good but we see that Novacura Flow on top of it makes it easier to retrieve exactly the data we want to see. Lars Sørsdal Head of Investigation, Operation, Plan and Exercise This project demonstrates how ERP for civil protection organizations can be enhanced with low-code solution.Novacura was brought in to help standardize the processes for each of the various functions that DSB was involved in. Using a combination of IFS Applications and Novacura Flow, the team built a custom emergency management software solution that improved emergency request handling by: Standardizing operations and automating manual processes Instantly capturing data in the field with a mobile app’s  Improving visibility across civil defense districts with a universal dashboard Replacing outdated systems Over the years DSB and it’s twenty civil defense districts utilized different and sometimes outdated software systems to manage their operations. The Civil Defense realized that their systems were unreliable and were looking for a way to streamline its processes. Solution: Digitalizing pen and paper processes Engineering one standard process for all offices Reporting via mobile apps to a universal dashboard Replacing multiple specialty systems with IFS and Novacura Flow When Novacura was brought on the first obstacle to overcome was creating standard processes for each of the various functions DSB was involved in. Using a combination of IFS and Novacura, our consultants were able to define and implement standard procedures for the entire organization. This endeavor also meant capturing and migrating existing data from disparate legacy systems. We have eight thousand conscripts who […]
