IFS has had far greater success than many ERP vendors in the industry. Part of that is the heavy focus on engineering the best solutions - not being a marketing company, but a product company that believes in your business and providing the best solutions.

The following is a small sampling of the multitude of accolades that IFS implementations have received.


“In 2002, the company was looking for project-management software to help it keep track of its jobs, which can stretch as long as 15 months. It found software from a top vendor such as SAP AG too expensive. Meanwhile, many of the small-business offerings at the time didn’t have enough features to help the company accurately track revenue flows over the course of a project. IFS Applications was able to install parts of its project-management software and train Mr. Holik’s staff at a third of the cost of SAP software.”

“As a result of our lean manufacturing initiative, we have reduced past-due orders by 80%, increased inventory turns by 20%, improved productivity by 20%, and increased quality by 60%. IFS Applications gives us the technology platform we need to achieve this success in a mixed-mode environment.”

“IFS Applications’ broad and comprehensive family of business applications meet many of the specific needs of today’s project-oriented companies in key functional areas of their operations from contract management to project management, and from engineering and manufacturing to finance and human resource (HR) management. IFS’ vision and proven ability to draw together the diverse collection of business data into a set of meaningful information that can be used in context to help project-oriented companies plan and execute their projects more effectively is impressive.”

“Eighty-eight percent of all sales quotes are now generated and e-mailed to the customer automatically. This has freed our support staff to work on more difficult projects... Prior to IFS, a machine could be ordered with the wrong option or an option that may require additional kits for installation that were not ordered. These mistakes might not be discovered until the machine arrives at the customer’s site, which costs up to $10,000 to correct. Since the implementation, this is no longer a problem.”

“Before implementing IFS Applications, it took 4-6 months to build one mobile welder, now (with IFS Applications) it takes 45 days, allowing us to build 6-8 mobile welders in the time it used to take to build one. This moved us ahead of schedule in delivering the mobile welders. That alone saved us enough money to pay for the IFS system. In retrospect, the general manager of our welding business unit flatly stated that we wouldn’t have stood a chance without IFS.”
