Among other things, Fredrik has developed multinational dealer networks, worked with several industry-leading business systems and was CEO of a business system implementer. With his burning interest in business development, Fredrik has always stayed close to the customer and the customers' challenges and opportunities. Through this interest, Fredrik has created both a broad and deep understanding of the challenges within these areas many company's faces. This knowledge is a good bridge between IT and the business.

Fredrik likes to work in or lead teams. His way of seeing and understanding the details within operations and IT provides great opportunities for his clients to reach their set goals.

Project Leader
Cresto AB

2021-01 - 2022-01

The assignment at Cresto was initially to project manage the company's upgrade in Sweden of its business system (Microsoft NAV to Microsoft BC) and new system implementation in Slovakia (Lotus Notes to Microsoft BC). But it developed into also assisting the management with questions related to business development, digitization and questions about how to streamline their processes in order to be able to put a digital platform in the company to benefit the company's intended national and international growth journey.
During the project, Cresto underwent a major journey of change by moving production from Sweden to Slovakia. They acquired companies in new countries such as the UK and the USA, acquisitions in Sweden were also carried out. On this journey, there was a need to get help with making the right decision in both the choice of system, how to use them and we also stop using and consolidated systems for a more efficient way of working. But also help decide on an optimized system setup on the projects systems of choice, to support the business's requirements and needs today and tomorrow.
The result of the work was a common ERP platform with the business system Microsoft Business Central optimized for Cresto's needs. This to be able to offer the company continued system consolidation within the group where it wishes to continue to bring international subsidiaries into the same system structure to maximize business benefits, efficient processes, and customer satisfaction.
Project Leader
Millers Beslag AB

2020-01 - 2021-01

In November 2020, Fredrik was contacted (through an existing contact within the group) by Millers Beslag, a company within the Bergman & Beving group. They planned to leave their warehouse in Bankeryd and move their warehouse operations to Arendal to a 3PL partner (Speed). The assignment was to project manage the warehouse move. The Millers had had their own warehouse with their own staff and were now going to outsource the warehouse. The mission was very clear from the start, minimal customer impact.
After analyzes and preparations, we moved in March. The move was planned for 3 weekends during March where we portioned the warehouse into 3 parts where the best-selling items were moved in the last move after all the routines started to settle in the new warehouse. March 22 was the first day of operation in Arendal after the last moving weekend and all customer orders were delivered by new staff.
Continuous dialogue was conducted with the customers and when the follow-up after the move was done, the project received the highest rating one could wish for. The customers' response to how they experienced the stock move was "We haven't noticed anything". The wish for minimal customer impact fulfilled.
Project Leader
Millers Beslag AB

2021-01 - 2021-01

2021 Directly after the warehouse move that Fredrik project led, Fredrik was hired to lead the move of the subsidiary (Millers) up into the parent company (Luna). This included inventory, systems and personnel. The time frames were very tight, and Fredrik had to work through the entire holiday in 2021. We had golive on September 1 and had then worked a total of 45 working days on the project, in addition to this all-project members involved had their regular jobs so the pace was very high. However, we managed to complete all the desired parts where the warehouse was transferred to Miller's parent company and the operation of the warehouse was outsourced to another. After this project, Fredrik was hired on to another company, Cresto AB, within the Bergman and Beving group.
Channel Partner Director
IFS Nordics

2018-01 - 2020-01

Fredrik was recruited to build the IFS network of dealers in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. There was a desire to be able to have both an own direct sales channel which was supplemented by a wide network of local system partners with their own consultants to take new business and help existing IFS customers around the Nordic region. The responsibility was to help the few existing partners that IFS had to create a growth plan, which suited IFS' overall goals, but also to recruit new partners and to offer support to succeed with the partnership both in sales, marketing and product training.
After a successful first year in the Nordics with good partner growth, Fredrik was also given responsibility for Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The journey continued and the foundation of what we see today as a partner network within IFS is a result of the work Fredrik put in during his time at IFS. Today, IFS is dependent on this channel to be able to achieve its goals both in sales and as sub-consultants for its own businesses.
The customer area was the Enterprise market. IFS offers companies, usually with more than SEK 500-1000M in turnover, a powerful ERP in competition with SAP, Infor etc.
My years at IFS resulted in a clearer strategy in partnership work for IFS. I built a team of Partner Account Managers responsible for sales, marketing and this team created good growth in license sales and generating a good and increasing pipeline. I was part of the management team where I reported directly to the CEO.

Fredrik's work resulted in several new collaborations. Growth in important sources of income such as youth camps and international collaborations that extended all the way to China, where the U19 national team came to Mölnlycke to receive education and training in the sport of Floorball. I also signed an agreement with Tatran Stresovice, one of the biggest associations in the Czech Republic (where floorball is a very big sport) and recruited several players to Pixbo who played with our elite teams.
During my time at Pixbo, the elite teams won, among other things, the Prague Open (ladies 1st and men 2nd), where Europe's very best teams gather before the pre-season to measure their strength.
I was responsible for the office and reported to the board.
