Overall Satisfaction with IFS Applications

In my organization, I use IFS Applications as an IFS Partner company where we implement IFS Applications to the companies, develop and configure solutions inside IFS Applications to cater the customer specific requirements and support and resolve issues inside IFS Applications to allow the existing customers to smoothly run their IFS Applications system. IFS Applications addresses most of the ERP system requirement of any of the organizations to manage their business day to day work.

Pros

  • 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.

Cons

  • IFS Applications are ye not fully supported with AI, so they have room fr improvement in AI side.
  • IFS Applications is not fully supported for Fashion industry, so it cannot be implemented for companies in Fashion industry
  • It does not have a very detailed row level data security mechanism. Instead they have a high level data security where data are accessed based on company and sites per user and per database views, and it cannot be further broken down into smaller data sets in terms of security.
  • With the use of IFS Lobbies (dashboards), the time taken to calculate and analyze the KPI's, has reduced.
  • With the use of the web-based interface, the size of the RAM, ROM of the personal PCs were saved, and the application can be accessed from mobile as well, which has reduced the cost or PC maintenance and memory allocations.
  • Reminder reports for customers and suppliers could be sent automatically which has reduce the mistakes, and then increased the on-time receivables and payable.
In overall, the companies get many advantages, where we can forget most of the things which can be considered for room for improvement. The user interface is good. It supports mobile versions an has several mobile applications for specific areas with Android, IOS and Windows versions. It allows several deployment options such as remote hosting, IFS Cloud hosting and on-premise hosting of the servers. IFS Applications can be easily and safely integrated with other systems.
IFS Applications have a very UI rich interface compared to other systems. IFS Applications can be easily and quickly learned with the very good documentation, e learning portals and other learning platforms. The technical implementation of the IFS Applications is very structured as well, where the technical developers can easily understands the technology and adopt into that.

Yes

Yes

Did implementation of IFS Applications go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IFS Applications again?

Yes

Not every Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System does not cover all the industry verticals and all the functionalities and requirements for a specific industry as built-in features. Although IFS Applications does not completely cover all the requirements and all the industry verticals, it can be implemented for any industrial company with minimum configurations and customization, which is very good when implementing an ERP system. Since it supports web and mobile versions of the application as well, the users ind it easy to use.
