AN INDUSTRY ON THE MOVE
The construction industry’s global scale highlights issues related to industry best practices, data management and collaboration amongst highly trained professionals.
Construction companies and contractors, as well as industrial-service providers, use IFS Applications to reduce risk and better manage lifecycles—from design through disposal. Contractors and service providers have an industry-based solution for long-term asset and maintenance management.
PROJECTS DRIVE EVERYTHING
With IFS Applications, project-based parameters control and determine schedules for engineering, procurement, document delivery and execution, coordinated by an efficient information flow amongst the different disciplines involved. With a project-driven solution—where the project itself is the engine—high-level visibility and transparency is ensured throughout your enterprise. The benefit is that everyone works to one common plan, ensuring projects deliver on time and budget.
MANAGE PROJECT CHANGE
Track project variations and changes as they happen, and make sure you get paid for them. IFS Applications includes a central repository—an engineering register—for multi-discipline engineering data, ensuring efficient and error-free data handovers from engineering to purchasing, manufacturing and construction to installation. Visibility extends to operations and maintenance, through as-designed, as-built and as-maintained equipment records.
REAL-TIME FINANCIAL CONTROL
In IFS Applications, contract costs and revenues are budgeted, tracked and compared. This ensures real-time visibility of incurred, committed and actual costs. Project-cost control features support the periodic-review process, comparing the latest project forecast to budget and previous forecast. These features can be brought to bear at any level of the work or cost breakdown structure. In addition, earned value management is supported, with comprehensive project-accounting and revenue- recognition features available.
IFS Applications helps you manage the future, not just the past.
ASSET MANAGEMENT AND MOBILITY
Contractors want to sell their expertise as services. As the asset system of record, IFS Applications eases the transition to operations, with asset design and equipment data available from the start. Through the maintenance function, design changes can be tracked throughout the asset’s life.
Our solution combines calendar-based maintenance with event-based, condition-based and predictive-maintenance strategies. Integration with global-positioning (GPS) mobility solutions—including IFS Touch Apps—keeps all parties in synch, based on IFS’ leading mobile workforce scheduling and optimization solution.
