IFS provides supply chain software that helps you find a balance between efficiency and responsiveness by including the inherent functionality for mixed-mode operations. It mixes supply modes simultaneously and adapts swiftly to new supply models as products mature or retire. Moving between order-based and orderless production, it meets any change in your customers’ requirement. It also reduces lead times and stock requirements. Moreover, collaboration portals that shorten lines of communication also allow maximum access and control

When it comes to enterprise asset management, we find it strange to speak of your industry; after more than 25 years in the business—our entire life—and recognition as an industry leader, ‘our’ feels more appropriate. So we know the importance of visibility across the extended supply chain, we’re well aware of the risks and opportunities related to availability contracting and performance-based logistics, and SPM is not merely another acronym.
Building on a foundation of service-oriented architecture, IFS pioneered agile and spiral development for rapid response to customer demands—and customer input. Many of our standards came from specific industry needs, such as traceability, serial number and lot tracking, role-defined procurement, and agile shipment processes. And the software’s messaging capabilities make it as easy to communicate with field operations as with the office next door. Integration with fleet and asset management and MRO capabilities means that all your SPM needs are met in a single software solution.
For further information on optimizing SPM, go to Downloads below. Or contact us directly and find out why lower budgets needn’t mean lower revenue.
