| IFS | Legacy | IFS ERP | ERP Financial | ERP | Novacura | 2022 | 2022 |
In 2022 Nolato decided to implement IFS ERP under the ERP Financial category to modernize operations at its Polish manufacturing branch. The program followed a corporate mandate to deploy IFS version 9 with an explicit roadmap to upgrade to IFS Cloud in the future, and Novacura was engaged as the implementation partner after an earlier attempt in 2022 did not reach completion. The project kickoff occurred in the second half of 2023 and the system went live in June 2024, covering the Polish production site and aligning the site with Nolato Group reporting requirements.
The IFS ERP implementation encompassed core modules including finance, warehouse, purchasing, sales, and production, with configuration work focused on tax compliance and local reporting standards. The team emphasized a process-first methodology, mapping Nolato Poland business processes and adapting IFS 9 configurations rather than forcing standard workflows, and the implementation included opening balance setup and initial data import into IFS ERP. Preparatory work included user training to reconcile differing terminologies from the previous local database and to establish daily monitoring workflows for the finance organization.
Data migration activity involved extracting and preparing records from an outdated, locally developed database from a Szczecin-based vendor, and the project required extensive data cleansing and terminology alignment before import into IFS ERP. The deployment was designed to enable compatibility and information flow across Nolato Group entities, and the team planned future warehouse enhancements including a staged move from manual inventory tracking to electronic documentation using low-cost smartphones initially and later barcode scanners.
Novacura led the implementation and provided hands-on consultancy, running focused workshops, incremental task execution, and post go live support by email and phone. The partner also worked with Nolato to resolve issues requiring coordination with the IFS software provider, and governance included iterative validation of migrated data, controlled cutover for opening balances, and training to support the organization through month end closing processes. The implementation approach prioritized operational continuity while building a long term development path for subsequent IFS Cloud migration.
Post-implementation outcomes reported by Nolato included streamlined processes, reduced manual data entry, lower reliance on paper documentation, and improved finance team workflows with more frequent, near real time visibility into business metrics. Employees reported reduced repetitive tasks and an uplift in productivity and morale, and ongoing Novacura support continued to address complex items such as month end closing and future warehouse automation planning.

In 2020, Nolato deployed Microsoft 365 to establish a unified Collaboration platform for corporate communications and document management. Microsoft 365 was implemented as the central productivity suite for Nolato, aligning office productivity, messaging, and team collaboration under a single vendor solution.
The Microsoft 365 implementation included core collaboration modules such as Exchange Online for email, Microsoft Teams for real time collaboration and meetings, SharePoint Online for intranet and document libraries, OneDrive for personal file sync, and the Office desktop and web applications for authoring. Configuration emphasis was placed on tenant level organization, user identity and access control through Azure Active Directory, and SharePoint information architecture to support document lifecycle and versioning.
Operational coverage targeted Nolato business functions including corporate communications, engineering documentation workflows, and administrative teams across the United Kingdom organization. The deployment supported cross functional collaboration workflows, team sites for project work, and centralized storage for policy and procedural content common to manufacturing operations.
Governance focused on centralized administration of tenant settings, role based access controls, and information governance patterns such as retention labels and SharePoint library classification. The Microsoft 365 deployment positioned Nolato to standardize collaboration tooling and information management within the Collaboration category.
