Meets our needs with many features we still need to integrate

Pros

Solid product that does what we need it to do. There are many features such as RMA module, customer portal, etc. that we have not yet integrated into our business the we will be implementing in the coming year. Nice to know we are working with a company that is ahead of where we are.

Cons

Not Thrilled with the way this system handles drop ship parts (we are a distribution company so about 50% of the parts we use/ship are drop shipped from a vendor. We were able to wok around this with business rules, but are looking to move to the next version that we believe handles this better.

User, support and administrator for 3 years as end user customer

Upgraded from old ERP software to give better financial and manufacturing reporting

Pros

simple interface and ease of navigation. error messages are fairly intuitive and after only a few months of usage can be self rectified without the need of on site consultants

Cons

Some administrative tasks can be a bit clunky. Initial setups have to be correct as some changes are not changeable

IFS software covers all aspects of field service and it's highly configurable. Implementation and support services could be improved.

Pros

Rich functionality - it covers all aspects of field service, including route optimization, dispatch, inventory, order management, pricing, etc. In addition, it's highly configurable (business rules/sync rules) and very flexible to integrate with other applications.

Cons

We had many struggles adjusting it for performance, shortage of knowledgeable consultants, support can be improved, documentation is lacking.

used for several years, found to be very usfull and packed with features

Pros

the ability to link PPM`s with PO`s so spare part orders are automatically ordered before a PPM is due

Cons

at times a little too complex , a large amount of features are good but at times confusing. If IFS could be simplified it would be one of the best around
