IFCO Has Partnered With OMMAX for Driving Digital Transformation

#Digital Transformation

IFCO, the world-leading supplier of reusable plastic containers (RPCs), has partnered with OMMAX to strategically drive the digital transformation agenda with the goal of enabling further substantial business growth.

 

Digitalization and tech transformation play a pivotal role in IFCO’s strategy to further scale its successful business model and to build out its leading market position. Based on IFCO’s entire suite of services along the RPC value chain IFCO has defined a program of strategic digitalization and transformation activities both from a business as well as from an IT and Tech perspective.

As part of this overall transformation agenda, OMMAX has been supporting IFCO since 2020 in its strategic IT and Tech transformation initiatives:

  • Cloud Strategy and Cloud Migration Implementation
  • Streamlining of the IT Service Management (ITSM) approach and selection of a strategic ITSM service provider
  • Development of a client-facing mobile app for IFCO’s proprietary application MyIFCO™ in China in order to drive market penetration

Due to the profound knowledge and experience in digitalization OMMAX has proven to be a ideal strategic partner for our transformation activities. Together we have been focusing on driving the IT transformation agenda with the goal to satisfy business and customer needs even better. We look forward to further working with the experts at OMMAX along this journey.

Patrick Klinger, Director Information Systems and Processes at IFCO

Dr. Stefan Sambol, Partner at OMMAX:“With the strategic partnership between IFCO and OMMAX IFCO has been able to accelerate its strategic growth ambitions. The goal of our projects has always been two-fold: (1) defining the strategy for key elements of the transformation agenda and (2) leading into successful implementation phases right after. We look forward to further successfully enabling IFCO’s growth ambition with this proven approach.”

 "IFCO’s digitalization and transformation aspirations are remarkable both in terms of speed and scope. Hence, it was crucial for us to work in a true partnership approach leveraging the strong expertise within IFCO combined with the accelerating momentum and outside view of the OMMAX experts. That way we are able to fully tap into the potential of further digitalization for IFCO.”

Christian Brugger, VP Data Science and Digital Strategies at OMMAX
