In 2016, our loan losses corresponded to 1.9 per cent of the loan portfolio, which outperformed our target of 2-3 per cent. Historically, we have succeeded in keep- ing our loan losses down in both upturns and downturns, based on a strong under- standing of customer behaviour and a high percentage of smaller loans. We continued to develop the Insur- ance business segment during the year. Discontinuation of the unprofitable UK travel-insurance operation was com- pleted during the year, and the impact was charged to consolidated earnings. Nonetheless, our core business continued to deliver high profitability and steady growth. During the year, we continued to im- plement our strategy for broadening our financing, which largely comprises de- posits and equity. This was achieved by expanding both our MTN and ABS pro- grammes with a total capital injection of SEK 1.1 billion. In early 2017, we also issued a Tier 2 loan of SEK 300 million. I would like to thank all of our more than 700 employees for a fantastic job over the past year, and I have high expectations for 2017. At the same time, I would like to wel- come our new shareholders and sincerely thank all of our retail finance partners for the confidence you have shown us.

    BILTEMA Chooses a WMS from Consafe Logistics for its new warehouse in Halmstad BILTEMA, the largest suppliers of automobile parts, accessories, tools and chemicals in the Nordics has chosen the Astro WMS Warehouse Management system from Consafe Logistics for its new warehouse in Halmstad, south west Sweden. The company is investing is a future- proof system that fulfils BILTEMA’s high demands for flexibility while supporting the company’s plans for expansion. BILTEMA has stores in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark that are primarily run as franchises. Today, BILTEMA stores have sales of around 3,5 Billion SEK. By end 2006 there will be more than 40 BILTEMA stores in the Nordic countries and 60-70 stores by 2011. The company currently has warehouses in Linköping, Motala, Lammhult, Halmstad and a couple of external warehouses. The new warehouse measures around 40 000 m and has space for around 100 000 pallets. The investment in Astro WMS has the goal of increasing pallet picking by between 10-30% and to make efficiencies through better replenishment and picking algorithms, real time management, picking in the right order on the pallet, resource allocation and other factors. Today, BILTEMA sells around15 000 articles and the range has been greatly increased, a process that will continue. The company buys around 70 percent of its goods from Asia. The range includes cycles and accessories, computer and mobile phone accessories, paint, building tools, kitchenware, suitcases and much more. BILTEMA’s current IT system is over 20 years old and can no longer cope with active expansion. ”We see Consafe Logistics as a secure supplier with a wide expertise and a proven WMS.

Special thanks to Jönsson CIO of BILTEMA, Hansson CIO of Retlog and Andersson Process Developer of IKEA CDC, for their valuable experience and knowledge. Further the authors want to extend our gratitude to all other respondents that have made the empirical basis of this paper through interviews and observations. It is a privilege to test theoretical knowledge on a multinational company and try to support the establishment of a new business area with the help of a best in practice business. Without the openness and cooperativeness, this project would not have had the broad empirical basis. The authors also want to extend thanks to; the opponents, our supervisor Roger Stokkedal and the examiner Helena Forslund. The help, support and valuable reflections have contributed with different aspects and as additional motivation to finish the report.
