Manufacturers today face mounting pressures, including supply chain disruptions, quality drift, shifting customer demands, and geopolitical uncertainty. These challenges drive demand for industry-specific enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions that serve as systems of action. IFS, an enterprise software provider, addresses these needs with its manufacturing depth, flexible architecture, and ability to unify operations across business segments through its IFS Cloud platform. Typical benefits from deploying IFS Cloud include enhanced operational efficiency, increased revenue, and improved customer service. Nucleus found that organizations deploying IFS can improve sales forecasting accuracy by up to 20 percent, increase revenue through faster scaling, and reduce customer churn by 2 to 17 percentage points. One process manufacturer scaled its business by 100 percent while reducing customer service staffing headcount by 30 percent through automation and electronic data interchange (EDI) integration. These outcomes highlight how IFS enables manufacturers to modernize operations, respond to volatility, and deliver both operational and financial improvements at scale. Best practices for implementing IFS Cloud include treating ERP as a company-wide initiative, involving stakeholders in early adoption, and training employees frequently in smaller sessions to improve knowledge retention.
