IFS is designed to be versatile and adaptable, making it a valuable tool across a wide range of industries. Its modular and customisable nature allows it to seamlessly integrate with various business processes and meet specific requirements.
With experience in supporting new implementations and system upgrades across diverse industries, Techris Consulting has first-hand knowledge of the value IFS can bring. Here are just four of the industries we have worked in (aerospace and defence, professional services, facilities management and manufacturing), and how how IFS has enhanced business operations.
#1 Aerospace and Defence
Aerospace and defence companies benefit significantly from IFS, gaining advanced project management capabilities, ensuring strict regulatory compliance, and optimising supply chain operations. This results in precise project tracking, adherence to industry standards, and streamlined procurement and production processes. The outcome? Improved project execution, compliance assurance, and cost-efficiency. IFS becomes indispensable for companies aiming for operational excellence in this sector.
Learn more about our work in this industry by checking out the case study here, where we discuss how we streamlined operations and re-worked processes to maximise user productivity.
#2 Professional Services
IFS is perfect for construction with the robust project management, resource optimisation, financial control and reporting functionality. This leads to improved project delivery, cost-effectiveness, and financial transparency, which is vital to the industry when spiralling costs can easily take your project off track.
Find out more about our work in this field by exploring the case study here, where we detail the redevelopment of the employee expenses module and automating the complex company and project setup required on a global scale.
#3 Facilities Management
IFS provides a full suite of options for companies requiring facilities management. Whether this is for your own maintenance teams to service your customers out in the field, your own internal maintenance or if you are handing work to a subcontractor for execution.
IFS has been the “Gartner Field Service Management” leader for 7 years in a row which reinforces its position as the software of choice for facilities management. You can gain valuable insights into your planned and reactive maintenance programmes and analyse those assets that are generating the most revenue or incurring the most costs. Using IFS to drive decisions in your maintenance strategy will help to ensure your business is as efficient as possible and gives you the data to make those replace or maintain decisions. To delve deeper into our work in facilities management, read the case study here, where we supplied the lead consultant to oversee the HR Workday integration for expense management and general work order process management. #4 Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies benefit from IFS's ability to streamline production processes. It offers tools for managing production workflows, scheduling, and quality control. This minimises downtime and ensures consistent product quality. IFS also provides features for demand forecasting, real-time tracking, and efficient replenishment strategies, resulting in reduced excess stock, carrying costs, and stockouts. We are currently supporting an agricultural manufacturer to implement IFS Cloud to aid their global growth. Once the work has been delivered (current timelines estimate a completion date on June 2024), we'll be able to share more on the projects impact but for now you can read the project overview here.
The adaptability of IFS makes it a popular choice for companies seeking an ERP solution tailored to their specific industry needs.
