Oman’s Port of Duqm has selected Sweden-based IFS, a global enterprise applications company, to facilitate the final transition from greenfield to a fully operational port.

Implemented jointly with Envecon, Port of Duqm will be able to scale up operations as clients, personnel, and suppliers are onboard, so it can effectively manage its core business processes.

Envecon is a trusted IFS partner specialising in ports and terminals, shipping companies, and offshore drilling operations.

Together, demonstrating functional and state-of-the-art technical fit, Envecon will implement IFS Applications as a centrally integrated ERP solution to manage Port of Duqm’s operations.

Addditionally, business intelligence, and IFS Enterprise Operational Intelligence will play an integral role providing real-time insight into the business.

Reggy Vermeulen, chief executive officer, Port of Duqm, said: “The chemistry between us and the IFS and Envecon team during the selection process indicated a strong sharing of minds, and a common ambition to realise a mutual successful journey.”

“Combined with exceptional industry expertise in harbour operations and the testimonies of their customers, IFS and Envecon demonstrated their ability to meet our needs. They will play a pivotal role in scaling our operations and realising our strategic objectives,” he said.

Luis Ortega, managing director for Middle East, South Asia and Africa, IFS, said: “We look forward to working with Envecon in helping Port of Duqm scale up its operations, and driving business value from its investment in IFS Applications.”

“In addition, this will add further value supporting other public and private organisations who will utilise the Duqm Port and Industrial facilities to facilitate their integration with the Port Authority services,” he added. – TradeArabia News Service
