IFS Applications allows enterprises to operate flexibly, with any combination of make-to-stock, configure-to-order and engineer-to-order modes, it supports everything from high volume repetitive manufacturing to batch and complex project-based manufacturing.
Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP), Sales and Operations Planning and the Manufacturing Visualizer are just some of the capabilities that make IFS a leading manufacturing solution.
Our open, standardized technology allows you to easily integrate with surrounding systems such as MES or WMS, or to turn data captured from sensors and devices into actionable insights using the IFS IoT Business Connector. And being part of our broader ERP suite, manufacturers also get access to solutions for asset management, supply chain and project management.
