    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.

    • Job Dashboard gives you a great summary of that job at a glance. I can even pull direct reports based on the fact that there are drill-downs.
    • I can go right to the receipt with the GL report drill-down capabilities.
    • Workflows make the product accessible from anywhere for approval when I have people on the road.
    • Dragging and dropping reports to in AP will then go to documents under the job it is attached to.

    Usability

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

    Using Premier Construction Software is intuitive. Most of the modules work the same way, so once you learn to use one, the others come easily.

    Alternatives Considered
    IFS
    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.

    We came away from Sage 100. We looked at Computerease and Foundation among a few others. These two were looked at most seriously.

    Return on Investment
    IFS
    • 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.

    • Jonas has positively impacted our Accounts Payable and Receivable department by making tracking and processing organized and streamlined. Previously we were having to track invoices and payments through emails and various formats. We are now able to connect each AP or AR invoice to the job and subcontractor, keep track of the billing due dates, and have all the paperwork generated from Jonas.
