IFS is used across our entire organization from Customer Service to Finance to our various plants and warehouses. We use it for inventory management, placing customer orders, invoicing, purchase orders and a whole variety of other processes cross organizationally. We also utilize IFS to provide historic reporting around a variety of areas.
- Order Placement - IFS makes placing orders quite easy. From the simple interface down to selecting inventory, the experience is simple and clean
- Reporting - Querying database records is straightforward and easy to do. Queries can then be drilled down to individual records or exported to excel for further manipulation and analysis.
- Customer Creation - Creating new customers and managing and maintaining existing records is a simple and easily repeatable exercise
- Positive - streamlined order processing has allowed our business to scale without requiring additional bodies for that specific need.
- Positive - Reporting has allowed valuable insight into historic business trends which has allowed us to be proactive instead of reactive in many areas.
- Negative - Customizations have proved costly and cumbersome when upgrading to the next version of the software.
I was not part of the software selection process and cannot provide insight into any of the alternatives in this arena at this time.
