Mind your own business - a flexible solution to fit your specific sector

Target industry sectors

The spectrum of businesses engaged in Projects/Contracts-centric operations is very wide indeed, and IFS can be deployed to suit the most simple of these, and to suit the most demanding, challenging and complex. 

The common threads of such businesses is that they usually provide end-Products or Services that involve degrees of uniqueness to a lesser or greater degree. In some cases the biggest deliverable is people, through services such as design and consulting, whilst in others the deliverable may be an item of customised equipment or plant, through to a building or entire construction site, with a very long lead time to completion, phases of deliverables along the way, with detailed design activities occurring through the whole life-cycle. Other examples include the planning and delivery of a major overhaul / refurbishment of a complex machinery installation, or the management of a shutdown or turnaround of a process plant or refinery, where downtime has to be minimised by complete forward preparation and planning.  

Several automotive and electronics sector IFS Customers have deployed IFS Projects to manage their R&D resources and pre-production activities, underlining the reality that IFS can be installed to suit the most simple scenarios, and can step-by-step be extended to the more complex scenarios.
