MHG Systems joins forces with Pennine Biomass

September 5, 2014, Mikkeli, Finland – MHG Systems is to
collaborate with Pennine Biomass Ltd. to provide an integrated ERP (Enterprise
Resource Planning) solution – MHG Biomass Manager – tailored to the British
biomass industry. Specifically, Pennine Biomass’s first priority will be to
make MHG Biomass Manager ready for use with the UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive
(RHI) Biomass Suppliers List (BSL) requirements.

In collaboration with Pennine Biomass, MHG Systems is
providing a very specific Biomass ERP solution for UK biomass players, with
extremely high operational efficiency and sustainability features. MHG Biomass
Manager will be used to track and manage biomass fuel business operations from
tree stump to boiler.

MHG Biomass Manager brings your biomass supply chain
situation into view for all stakeholders. The service is specifically designed
to assist in the increase of energy output per unit of biomass harvested and
transported. Biomass Manager enables geo-tracking of load specific data points
from production areas to the conversion facility and beyond. Customizable
reporting solutions assist supply teams in keeping track of job data so you can
rest assured that reporting requirements are being met. Customizable reporting
solutions in Biomass Manager help biomass supplier to meet their sustainability
requirements.

“The biomass heating market has seen huge growth in the UK
in the last few years, largely driven by the RHI” said Andy Howard, Director at
Pennine Biomass. “The Government is now introducing sustainability and
emissions requirements and monitoring as part of the scheme. Fundamentally,
efficient operation of the newly installed boilers depends on the supply of
quality biomass wood fuel. The biomass fuel supply chain has arguably been
struggling to keep up with the rapidly developing demand for wood fuel in the
UK, and hence by using the latest technologies and methods that MHG Biomass Manager
can offer we believe that operators throughout the UK biomass supply chain can
be better able to provide a quality product in a timely and sustainable manner.”

“When working with biomass, it is important to get a
holistic picture of the value chain phase by phase. Biomass manager creates the
path of least resistance to a more reliable biomass supply chain,” pressed
Seppo Huurinainen, CEO at MHG Systems.
