CASES » SGF - StoraEnso

Because it is a transnational company, StoraEnso needs to ramp up the synergies and competitiveness of the company's different units spread around a number of countries, such as Brazil, Uruguay and China.

It understood that it needed a solid system to manage forests, one that permits quick realization of new forestry projects as well as making it possible to reduce costs and ensure sustainability, information security and other advantages.

In view of the difficulties regarding the management of its Forestry sector on a global scale, the company contracted INFLOR to set up the SGF, a mature software program that is consolidated in the market, already in use by companies such as Aracruz Celulose and Veracel for their Forestry Management requirements.

The SGF will integrate all of the information that is necessary for managing the process, making it possible to reduce costs, centralizing information and guaranteeing sustainability, among other advantages, while also facilitating access to the company's information from any part of the world.

Client testimonial

"Through the StoraEnso SGF project, we sought a global IT solution that was aligned with the new quick-growth forest projects that StoraEnso intends to establish in the coming decades in a number of different locations around the world.

Because it encompasses projects, people and realities that are so different from each other, such as China, Uruguay and Brazil, this project has an extra challenging aspect to it for all of the professionals involved. Up until now, INFLOR has met all of the deadlines and commitments that it signed with StoraEnso.

As a result, we are increasingly confident and certain that the StoraEnso/INFLOR partnership will truly be enduring."

Rafael Fiorott, IT Forestry System coordinator at StoraEnso

Developers statements

"Because it is the biggest project in the history of INFLOR and the first with international visibility for the company, it is a challenge that I'm certain will greatly enrich the careers of our professionals who are on the project team. This experience also could open up the possibility of new challenges in other markets and consolidate the SGF as an INFLOR product." Sandro Siqueira (Project Leader)

"It represents a great opportunity to apply our forestry knowledge to an international project of this size. To standardize the forestry processes of different cultures — respecting the individuality of each location — is really a huge challenge." Carlos Toloza - Responsible Technician
