Bodø Energi Increases Operational Efficiency by 30% with Boomi: A Case Study

At RutterKey Solutions, we always keep an eye on transformative projects powered by Boomi, and Bodø Energi’s success is an inspiring example. This century-old, municipality-owned energy provider in Norway overcame the challenges of integrating data from multiple, outdated systems. By leveraging Boomi's intelligent integration platform, they modernized their operations, achieving a 30% improvement in efficiency.

The Challenge: Navigating a Fragmented IT Environment

Bodø Energi, along with its subsidiaries, offers a range of services including electricity distribution, home inspection, electric vehicle charging, and shore power for ships. Over time, the company's reliance on manual data transfers, spreadsheets, and point-to-point integrations created operational inefficiencies. Disparate systems for customer orders, field service data, electricity consumption tracking, and HR management further complicated their IT landscape, leading to time-consuming, error-prone processes.

The Transformation: The ‘BE neXt’ Initiative

To address these challenges, Bodø Energi launched the ‘BE neXt’ transformation project. The initiative aimed to modernize their technology infrastructure by migrating their ERP system to the cloud and streamlining operations. A key part of this transformation was finding a powerful, scalable integration platform to unify their systems and create a single source of truth across the business.

The Boomi Solution: Automating and Unifying Data Systems

Bodø Energi chose Boomi’s intelligent integration and automation platform to meet their integration needs. The Boomi platform provided a central integration layer that seamlessly connected their ERP system with business-critical applications like cloud storage, HR management, and field service management. This low-code platform enabled Bodø Energi to automate previously manual processes, reducing errors and enhancing data flow between systems.

For example, tasks that previously required employees to manually transfer data from multiple screens were fully automated with Boomi, improving both accessibility and accuracy. Field service records, including photos, were automatically uploaded into the ERP system, ensuring compliance and eliminating the need for follow-up site visits or additional calls.

Results: Enhanced Efficiency and Agility

With Boomi in place, Bodø Energi has seen a significant boost in operational efficiency, reporting a 30% reduction in time spent on manual processes and reporting. The platform allows for synchronized data across all business units, offering a unified view that improves decision-making and streamlines operations. Furthermore, Boomi’s drag-and-drop interface empowers non-technical users to manage integrations, reducing reliance on IT and increasing agility.

Boomi’s flexibility has allowed Bodø Energi to integrate new systems with ease, paving the way for future growth through AI-driven analytics and other advanced technologies. The company now has a strong technological foundation that enables it to adapt to new market conditions and opportunities quickly.

A Future-Ready Solution

By choosing Boomi’s integration platform, Bodø Energi has optimized its operations, reducing manual tasks and significantly improving data management. This streamlined approach has set them up for future innovation, positioning them to capitalize on advanced technologies and data-driven solutions as they continue to evolve.
