IFS Ultimo was responsible for the Permit to Work implementation, handling permits leading to better visibility of hazardous and non-hazardous jobs. Support partner DNAStream took care of all other customisations and configurations requested by Bristol Port.
Richard Ashley-Smith, asset manager at The Bristol Port Company, said: “After the implementation, IFS Ultimo EAM was easy to use and made our whole asset management approach much simpler than before.”
Bristol Port now uses a range of IFS Ultimo EAM modules such as asset management, stock management, several HSE modules, work order management, periodical maintenance, project management and reports. In addition, IFS Ultimo is integrated with Microsoft Power BI. This unified solution enables Bristol Port to currently use 150 licenses for operations, maintenance, and business roles and more than 200 self-service licenses for other staff functions and contractors working for Bristol Port.
“We are very content with the overall performance of IFS Ultimo’s EAM solution as well as the system’s usability and the futureproofing it offers us going forward,” Ashley-Smith added.
