Curit has never left an ERP project on the backburner. The Jutland ERP company, twice voted best ERP company of the year
ERP company by Computerworld, has its own recipe for successful ERP projects. It is based on the ERP platform IFS Cloud and an entrepreneurial customer approach.
For many years, Curit was one of Denmark's secret IT successes. The Jutland ERP company based in Vejle operated under the radar as the first Danish partner for IFS, and awareness of both Curit and the IFS platform was limited. This is no longer the case. Since Curit was named ERP company of the year by Computerworld for the first time in 2018 and again in 2020, the company has really been put on the map, just as IFS has moved up the ranks and gained a solid foothold in the Danish ERP market.
Customer satisfaction over ratios
Today, Curit is by far the country's largest IFS partner and a solid growth company with a continuous influx of new customers. ”We probably stand out a little from the other ERP implementation houses. We are a good, stable Jutland-based company that doesn't just rush headlong into things. We have a strong conscience and a personal involvement with our customers. We genuinely care if a customer has a problem. It's that, not turnover and key figures, that takes centre stage when we meet in management. This permeates the entire organisation, and I think it's a key reason why we've never had a single ERP project that didn't reach its goal,” says Carsten Kaaber, Sales Director at Curit.
A different ERP approach
He founded Curit 20 years ago together with Aase Steffensen, both with a background in IFS. Today, the company has 40 employees, all of whom specialise in the IFS platform. The customers are large and medium-sized companies with a certain complexity. It can be complex production, advanced supply chain, very high traceability requirements, a complex service business, project management, etc.
”IFS is a great fit for companies with some complexity. They need a more advanced and agile ERP system that doesn't have to be built together from all kinds of partner systems. IFS
Cloud brings all components together in one platform with very deep functionality and biannual updates. It's not an app store of products where you end up with a patchwork of vendors. It's a very clear distance between IFS and other ERP vendors in our segment,” says Curit partner Peter Bering.
Service Management is growing
IFS covers all areas of ERP, and in recent years it has expanded into service with the acquisition of a market-leading optimisation engine (PSO) for optimising Field Service and the ITS system IFS Assyst. Curit has followed in IFS’ footsteps and is now a provider of both solutions. ”Service Management is a growth market and an area we are investing in. The PSO solution and Assyst are open products,
that can work with both the IFS platform and any other ERP system, so it can open some interesting doors for us to new customers, which it has already done,” says Carsten Kaaber and is pleased that Curit and IFS continue to play well together.
