ERPNext vs. IFS Applications

It is so flexible and configurable that it can be fairly easily adapted to most situations.

Order to cash processes and scenario are implemented natively in IFS. An HR module exists for career management also (objectives, comportments, training, mobility) but may be improved in terms of workflow validation (e.g. training to validate by a manager) or reporting.

• Locally hosted, so it is very fast
• Help documents are pretty good
• Lots of flexibility in configuration

• It supports the web version in most later versions.
• It provides various mobile versions of the applications as mobile apps to cater various areas.
• IFS Applications allows easy configurations of the application without going for costly customization.
• It covers almost every areas of an industrial company so any other third party applications are minimum.
• It allows safer and easier built-in options for integrations capabilities.

• Random errors (seem to be related to python) can be very difficult to troubleshoot.
• Creating reports and print/email documents is very cumbersome and confusing. Needs to have a WYSIWYG editor.

• Handling massive volumes of data can be improved.

Overall good, but needs some training to get people to be proficient in the system.

The system is very difficult to use, overly complex, and difficult to learn. It also has limitations that are hard to overcome.

We have been unable to get answers to our questions, solutions to our problems, and they don't seem interested in working in the construction industry.

Wanted something flexible and with the ability to self-host. Open source is also nice.

IFS Applications is based on Agile Technology which allows organizations to reconfigure user interface as per user requirements and make it user-friendly. Other applications are lagging on many fronts like User Interface, Online help document availability, Implementation methodology, and post-implementation expenses.

• Neutral, needed to find a new system as the current system is being retired.

• Reporting is now centralized and managed. Previously, reports were outside the information systems and there was a risk of incoherence.
• Accounting controls are now in place on the overall processes, including production, which helped the company to reduce closing periods or to produce more easily official mandatory accounting files yearly.
• Interfaces between the CRM forecast tool and IFS helped to keep the tools in sync, and to decrease the processing times prior to production launch.
