About IFS
IFS develops and delivers enterprise software for customers around the world who manufacture and distribute goods, maintain assets, and manage service-focused operations. IFS offer applications that enable companies to respond quickly to market changes and use resources in a more agile way to achieve better business performance and competitive advantages. IFS’s products are known for being user friendly, modular in their design and flexible enough to support the customers in their way of working according to their established processes.
IFS was founded in 1983 and currently has over 4,000 employees. IFS supports more than ten thousand customers worldwide from a network of local offices and through our growing ecosystem of partners which TRC Solutions is proud to be a part of. The product development is done by R&D teams, mainly located in Sweden and Sri Lanka, and our consultancy business operate in three regions: Americas, Europe and APJ&MEA.
IFS Business Model
Product development is primarily conducted at IFS’s R&D centers in Sri Lanka and Sweden.
The company has developed a partner strategy, building on collaboration both locally in region and globally with its large multinational alliance partners. This allows IFS to enter new markets using local knowledge and resource whilst working within a consistent global partnering program.
IFS focuses on partners such as TRC Solutions that offer complementary products or technologies within the product or the industry segment that IFS operates in. The aim is to provide customers with solutions that increase the value of their investment in IFS Applications. Two examples of such partners are Microsoft and Oracle. The collaboration with Microsoft centers on user interface, business intelligence, and cloud platforms while the Oracle cooperation is mainly aimed at databases and middleware.
To the future with IFS applications
IFS Applications is designed to manage four essential processes:
Service and Asset Management
Full Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Maintenance Repair and Overhaul, and Service Management capabilities.
Manufacturing
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) with support for process manufacturing, discrete manufacturing, and demanding manufacturing modes.
Projects
Project Management as a core com -ponent that can be leveraged as Project-driven ERP, Project Portfolio Management, and more.
Supply Chain Management
As a support function for ERP and EAM, or as a powerful logistics solution in demanding environments
Connected Service Lifestyle Management
An investment in enterprise software is of little value if users do not embrace their new enterprise environment. As a result the customer will not get the process standardization, best practices and enterprise visibility they paid for.
That is why IFS has placed a premium on not just usability and userfriendliness, but also on the complete user experience—in short we want people to love our application. IFS Applications contains IFS Aurena: an elegant, intuitive user experience complimenting specific interface features such as IFS Lobby™️ and IFS Streams™️. Slick-looking apps for smartphones and tablets take care of everyday time and expense reporting, approvals and more.
It is easier to recognize than remember, so we use navigational schema that users already understand from using the web. For example, we have embedded an enterprise application search tool for Google-like ease when locating documents and information. Embedded document management allows users to attach documents to any object in the application.
IFS Applications also leverages Enterprise 2.0 thinking through our innovative IFS Talk™️ collaboration tool, enabling the capture of conversations and unstructured data across the entire suite.
User-Friendly Choice
IFS Aurena UX, with its people-centric design, provides an intuitive work environment and the type of experience we’ve all come to appreciate in the best consumer apps and services. Whether you’re using tablet and touch, laptop or desktop, IFS Aurena provides you with ease of use and time-saving features to help you work more effic- iently and use the application to its full potential.
IFS Aurena makes it easy to navigate and find your information with familiar tools like search, direct navigation and an icon-driven menu. And with the IFS Lobby, you have a quick view of the information that matters most to you, at a glance, so you can act swiftly when needed.
IFS Applications lets you adapt the user experience to your needs and environment. Novice users can start with a simple, minimal look and add more and more features and screen elements as their skills and requirements progress.
