7 Key Advantages of Implementing ERP in the Mining Industry
Mining demands huge upfront investment. Running a mine means managing expensive machinery, juggling complicated supply networks, meeting tough safety and environmental rules, and dealing with unpredictable market prices. A lot of mines don’t hit their targets — not because the rock is bad, but because their systems don’t talk to each other and decisions get made in silos. This is where IFS ERP for the mining industry makes a difference. Purpose-built for asset-heavy operations, IFS ERP provides an integrated platform that connects people, equipment, and processes — from the pit to the boardroom. Together with low-code extensions through Novacura Flow, mining companies gain the agility to boost efficiency today while preparing for the future. Here are seven key advantages of implementing IFS ERP in mining operations: 1. Real-Time Visibility Across Operations IFS delivers real-time dashboards unifying information from drill rigs, trucks, processing plants, and finance departments. This mining software eliminates silos, so managers no longer waste hours chasing spreadsheets or making phone calls. Instead, they get instant insight into production rates, equipment health, and fuel usage. Such visibility helps spot trends before they become costly — like declining ore grades or rising fleet consumption. With IFS, mines can resolve production bottlenecks faster while reducing downtime that directly affects profitability. 2. Optimized Equipment Maintenance Mining assets like crushers and ultra-class haul trucks cost millions. Unplanned breakdowns are profit killers. IFS ERP software for mining production includes advanced Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) that uses predictive analytics, automated scheduling, and complete maintenance histories. The result: fewer emergency repairs, longer component life, and annual savings reaching millions for mid-sized operations. Facilities can schedule interventions during planned windows, ensuring availability remains high. 3. Stronger Supply Chain and Logistics Control Mining supply chains span the globe — from explosives and tires to shipping concentrate overseas. An ERP like IFS shows a live, end-to-end view of orders, shipments, and stock. It also predicts what you’ll need from production and maintenance plans, helping you avoid stockouts. For outbound moves, it plans truck routes, rail slots, and port bookings to cut costs and keep output on schedule. 4. Integrated Financial and Project Management Finance in this sector is complex: royalties, multi-currency transactions, hedge accounting, and strict reporting requirements. Implementing IFS consolidates all information into a single financial truth. Automated royalty calculations, real-time cost per ton tracking, and project profitability analysis become standard. Activity-based costing even allows managers to compare expenses down to individual pits or blast patterns — supporting smarter, data-driven investment decisions. 5. Compliance, Safety, and ESG Management From regulations to environmental permits, compliance failures can stop production instantly. IFS automates these workflows with certification tracking, incident reporting, inspection scheduling, and full audit trails. The system also supports ESG reporting by monitoring emissions, waste management, and water quality. Mining industry software solutions like IFS ensure operations remain compliant, safe, and aligned with stakeholder expectations around sustainability. Why ERP implementations fail?

The event gathered enterprise leaders, technology experts, and IFS users from across the Nordic region to share insights on how to drive innovation, improve resilience, and create long-term business value with IFS Cloud.

Key highlights included: The Next Chapter of IFS CloudA look into the latest developments and future roadmap for IFS Cloud, including AI integration and continued platform flexibility to support evolving enterprise needs. Manufacturing for a Digital WorldThis session explored how manufacturers are adapting operations through smart factory initiatives, cloud-enabled automation, and data-driven decision-making. AI in Training & OperationsSeveral talks emphasized how AI is reshaping not just software but also how employees are trained, empowered, and supported in their day-to-day workflows. Sustainability as StrategyReal-world examples showcased how IFS users are embedding sustainability into core business processes — not just as compliance, but as a competitive advantage. Throughout the event, the focus remained on how organizations can navigate rapid change, improve operational resilience, and harness the power of technology — especially AI and cloud — to remain agile in complex markets. At Booth No. 3, visitors had the opportunity to meet the Novacura team — Calle Göras, Fredrik Rosendahl, Östen Westman, and Ricard Lindgren — to learn how our low-code platform, Novacura Flow, empowers IFS customers to build tailored applications that bridge process gaps, reduce manual work, and improve user experience across departments. Whether the interest was in shop floor control system apps, workflow automation, or integration capabilities, we were thrilled to discuss how Novacura Flow can complement IFS Cloud and deliver fast, flexible business solutions. SUMMARY IFS Connect Nordics once again proved to be a valuable gathering of minds and a great showcase of the direction enterprise software is headed in the Nordic region. We’re proud to have been part of it, contributing to conversations around smart digital solutions for manufacturing and helping IFS customers get even more out of their systems.

Novacura at M3UA UK Conference 2025: Showcasing Real-World Warehouse Optimization
As part of our ongoing event tour across the UK, Novacura was proud to participate in the M3UA UK Conference 2025, held on April 29 at the Leonardo Hotel Hinckley Island. This annual event brought together Infor M3 customers, experts, and partners to share insights and explore how to get more value out of their ERP environments. We were excited to return to this high-impact gathering — not only to connect with M3 users at our booth, but also to take the stage and present a powerful case study on warehouse operations optimization using Novacura Flow. Enhancing Full Pallet Picking with Novacura Flow At 16:30, Novacura’s Director of Sales, Aksel Jarlbäck, presented a customer case titled:“Enhancing Full Pallet Picking Efficiency with Novacura Flow.” The session addressed common challenges in traditional full pallet picking processes — such as manual scanning steps, repeated API calls, and process inefficiencies — which often result in delays, errors, and wasted time. Aksel walked the audience through a real-life implementation at a food and beverage company, showing how Novacura Flow was used to build a customized pallet picking application tailored to the customer’s needs. Key takeaways from the session included: How continuous scanning was implemented to streamline workflows How the app reduced manual input and operational time The measurable impact on accuracy and efficiency in the warehouse This case study provided a concrete example of how low-code automation can modernize M3 processes, especially in logistics-intensive environments. The audience had a chance to see how flexible application design — powered by Novacura Flow — can bridge ERP functionality gaps without requiring complex development or changes to the core system. SUMMARY Throughout the day, attendees also had the opportunity to stop by Novacura’s blue booth (#4) to meet Aksel Jarlbäck and Robin Huizer, discuss their own M3 challenges, and explore how low-code can be applied across operations — from warehousing to production and beyond. We were glad to engage with so many M3 professionals and share ideas on making ERP systems more user-friendly, efficient, and adaptable. Thanks to everyone who attended the session, visited our booth, and contributed to meaningful conversations. We look forward to returning next year and continuing the journey of ERP innovation — together.
