Trendsetter Engineering Enhances Engineered-to-Order and Asset Rental Operations with IFS Cloud

The Challenge: Managing Complex ETO Projects and Asset Rentals

Trendsetter Engineering, a leader in subsea solutions, faced operational challenges with its existing ERP system, particularly in managing engineered-to-order (ETO) projects and tracking asset rentals. Their previous system lacked the flexibility needed for bill of materials (BOM) changes during manufacturing, leading to inefficiencies and limited visibility into critical processes. To maintain their high standards for project execution, they needed an ERP solution that could seamlessly integrate these key business areas.

The Solution: Choosing IFS for Its BOM Flexibility

After evaluating multiple solutions, IFS Cloud emerged as the only ERP capable of providing BOM flexibility throughout the manufacturing process—a critical requirement for Trendsetter’s ETO operations. This capability, combined with IFS’s ability to support asset rental management, made it the ideal choice to enhance operational efficiency and scalability.

Implementation: A Collaborative Approach

The IFS implementation was structured around multiple rounds of discovery, configuration, and testing to ensure alignment with Trendsetter’s unique business processes. Astra Canyon led the consulting efforts, working closely with Trendsetter’s internal teams to tailor the solution to their needs. Key components of the implementation included:

  • Customizations to improve system usability and align with Trendsetter’s workflows.
  • Integration with SolidWorks PDM using CADTALK, streamlining engineering data flow.
  • Collaboration with IFS support to address technical challenges throughout the rollout.

Early Outcomes: Improved Visibility into Manufacturing & Procurement

Since going live, Trendsetter has seen enhanced visibility into manufacturing and procurement demand, providing a stronger foundation for decision-making. While financial reporting capabilities are still being developed, the implementation has laid the groundwork for future efficiency gains across operations.

Looking Ahead: Expanding IFS Across Global Entities

With a successful go-live, Trendsetter plans to extend IFS to its other entities across multiple countries, ensuring a unified system for global operations. As the team continues refining reporting capabilities and optimizing system usage, IFS Cloud is positioned to drive long-term innovation and operational excellence for Trendsetter Engineering.
