Apply2TheSky: From Engineering Hours to Delivery Capacity

The future of project delivery is not built on adding more hours. It is built on creating more capacity.

Apply2TheSky is part of Moreld Apply's transformation programme bringing together IFS Cloud, AI, automation and procurement into one connected operating model. By aligning data, workflows and decision-making across engineering, procurement and project execution, the programme creates a more scalable business with greater speed, consistency and delivery capacity.

The objective is simple: enable the same organization to deliver more projects, faster and with higher quality.

One platform. One way of working.

At the core of the transformation is a common digital backbone built on IFS Cloud.

Standardized data structures, automated workflows and a shared source of truth are creating a foundation for AI, analytics and smarter project execution. New projects can be mobilized faster, information flows more efficiently between disciplines, and routine activities increasingly move from manual work to automation.

The result is greater transparency, improved quality and stronger execution support across the entire project lifecycle.

Procurement as a value accelerator

The transformation extends beyond engineering and project management.

Procurement is becoming an integrated part of how projects are planned and delivered. Standardized data, better forecasting and increased visibility across portfolios make it possible to aggregate demand, improve supplier collaboration and leverage purchasing power more effectively.

By connecting engineering, procurement and execution through one digital platform, the organization gains stronger control of materials, improved traceability and better decision support from project initiation through delivery.

Creating capacity through automation and AI

Routine activities that previously required manual effort are increasingly automated through workflows, system integrations and AI-enabled processes.

Job card creation, part management, document handling and administrative processes are standardized and automated, reducing repetitive work and allowing specialists to focus on engineering, project execution and client value creation.

The transformation is helping shift the organization from a model built around effort to a model built around capacity.

Results

With an estimated five-year value potential of approximately NOK 500 million, the programme is transforming how engineering and operations are delivered.

By automating work processes, integrating systems, strengthening digital learning and competence management, improving document handling, and harmonizing applications, manual effort has been significantly reduced while efficiency, quality, and scalability have increased across the organization.

More than a digital transformation

Apply2TheSky is creating a new delivery model where engineering, procurement, automation and AI work together as part of one connected ecosystem.

The value is measured not only in efficiency gains, but inthe ability to scale operations, improve delivery performance and create additional capacity across the organization. By connecting people, processes and technology, Moreld Apply is building the foundation for the next generation of project delivery.

Lessons learned: Capacity drives growth

The greatest gains come from connecting functions that have traditionally operated separately.

When engineering, procurement and project execution run on the same data foundation, supported by automation and AI, organizations gain more than efficiency improvements. They gain capacity, predictability and scalability.

Apply2TheSky demonstrates how digital transformation and procurement transformation together can create measurable business value across the entire project lifecycle.

That is Not Business As Usual.
