The Mansfield Group, one of the UK’s largest dedicated vehicle recovery and breakdown operators, has selected IFS 360 Scheduling’s Dynamic Scheduling Engine (DSE) to support them in meeting their demanding 20 and 30 minute response time emergency breakdown calls.

We have been looking at scheduling systems over recent months and IFS 360 Scheduling’s DSE kept coming up as the leader in the field. From our initial meeting on November 2nd, it was very clear that their background in emergency services meant that they immediately understood our business demands and response time needs, plus their can-do attitude was very refreshing, said Darrell Mansfield, Chairman of The Mansfield Group.

IFS, the global enterprise applications company, has signed an agreement with China Yangtze Power Corporation (CYPC) concerning the implementation of IFS Applications at two new mega-hydropower stations on the Jinsha River, China. CYPC also owns Three Gorges, the largest hydropower plant in the world. IFS was selected in competition with SAP and Oracle. One of the deciding factors for CYPC was IFS’s proven track record within enterprise asset management both in China and globally.

Our goal has been to invest in the latest technology to support our ambition to become the leading light within hydroelectric power generation. In IFS Applications, we have found a system that can keep pace with our long-term growth strategy while ensuring multi-plant support, work safety, efficiency and user-friendliness,” said Zhang Cheng, President of CYPC.
