As part of its ongoing IFS journey, Groupe Beneteau strengthens its partnership with Arcwide to support the management of its IFS ERP and accelerates its digital transformation programme.
Paris, France, 2 June 2026 – Groupe Beneteau, a global player in boat manufacturing, is continuing the rollout of its IFS ERP as part of Starboard, its ambitious digital transformation programme.
To ensure service continuity and optimise the solution over the long term, Groupe Beneteau has entrusted Arcwide, a strategic partner and leading systems integrator, to provide application management services (AMS) for its ERP. This service is delivered by Arcwide teams based in France and India.
Following a successful six-month transition phase, AMS is now fully operational, delivering a level of service in line with expectations and supported by a continuous improvement approach.
Rolled out over the past two years, first at the pilot site in Italy, followed by the Bordeaux site, the IFS ERP solution is now entering a stabilisation and optimisation phase. This phase is supported by the expertise of Arcwide teams, which combine operational support with strong project delivery capabilities.
The rollout will gradually extend to the group’s remaining subsidiaries to IFS, simplifying information exchange between production sites and distribution entities.
This collaboration reflects Groupe Beneteau’s commitment to building a new information system that is agile, scalable, and secure, capable of supporting industrial excellence and operational performance across its 16 production sites worldwide.
