Prevas signed a partnership agreement with Quintiq, forming a collaboration that
will provide high-level Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) services for
Prevas customers in Scandinavia.
Quintiq, a global leader in providing APS software, enables companies to
visualize and optimize their operational processes, thereby achieving
operational excellence and creating business value. Quintiq’s solutions have
been implemented in a wide range of companies from the manufacturing, metals,

Quintiq’s new partnership with Prevas builds on this success and enables both
companies to offer advanced planning and scheduling solutions to the
Scandinavian metals and manufacturing markets.
“The market for advanced planning and scheduling solutions is booming as more
and more companies focus on efficiency improvements to help them succeed in
highly competitive global markets,” said Christer Ramebäck, Business Area
Manager Industrial Systems at Prevas.
"Prevas is already a leader in Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Enterprise

innovative technological solution that is capable of solving any planning and
scheduling issue will enable them to more rapidly achieve their targets,”
Ramebäck added.
Francois Eijgelshoven, Director Metals and Manufacturing at Quintiq, commented:

market. Prevas demonstrated that they are well versed in the complexities of
planning and scheduling. Prevas acknowledged that many businesses make tradeoffs
when implementing an APS solution, but recognized the value of Quintiq’s unique
100%-fit commitment to our clients.”
