Algeco
Sector
Activity
Algeco, founded in 1955, is the global leader in modular construction solutions. The company has operations in 23 countries in Europe and Asia-Pacific, serving clients in the public and private sectors with more than 290,000 modular space units. Algeco designs smart buildings for living, working, caring and learning. It also supports authorities and public bodies in crisis and emergency situations.
Algeco uses a custom-built ERP system, operating in an IBM i environment, to manage sales and rentals of its modular buildings, from quote to invoice. Hardis Group maintains and upgrades the system on the company’s behalf—a task that involves developing new, integrated services, as well as opening up the system, such as by developing a site monitoring portal for in-house users, clients, and partners.
A multidisciplinary team of around 15 Hardis Group employees, with expertise in Adelia, IBM i, Azure, Java, .Net, and Angular technologies, provides Algeco’s staff with day-to-day support.
