IFS Applications can be added into Microsoft Excel as an add-on and creates a separate tab of its own on Excel. All the reports that have been generated through IFS is customizable and transferrable to Excel as well.

There are not much cons but sometimes generating a report takes some time and if there is a slight connection lost, it becomes too slow and there is no stop/execute button to stop the action.

This solution really brought us some challenges but opportunities as well, we are currently evaluating its permanence in the company, so far so good.

It really works very well processing POs, monitoring assets, performing daily reports, we were also amazed how well it integrated with our other solutions.

Sometimes when preparing analytic reports, accessing old data can be challenging. Another improvement opportunity is that permission's workflow, it really does not make much sense, and we need to manually create one for every situation.

I think IFS is a great tool for mass producers but if you custom manufacture anything then this is not the software for you. IFS works best for a standard product list with very little change. There is NO method for archiving information like a product option, customer, supplier, etc. so once something is entered in the system it is there forever and available as a selection. If your business has very little variables then this is probably the right system for you.

Good training options, support response if fairly quick. Once you learn to 'think like IFS' navigation is pretty easy.

Inflexible configuration and really only geared towards specific business types. Our custom manufacturing makes it really difficult to use many modules of the software adequately. There are a lot of things our implementation team either didn't adequately consider or configured incorrectly and we've been paying for it for a decade. Nothing is easily updated or changed and options in a drop down (or list of values) cannot ever be archived. No workflows exist in the system and permissions setup is a complete nightmare.

existing software, mainly used by long standing employees as we integrate to a different system

Ease of access - Transferring manual data to produce freight rates was a simple process

Pricing per/consignment - found that it was too expensive compared to other services

Managing tax reporting and customer credit management.

This product provides ease of navigation and user friendly. It's robust in functionality and connectivity of multiple modules.

I have been a user and a consultant for this product and so far I like all its features
