IFS Applications helps you increase productivity by optimizing your work force based on competencies, schedules, SLAs or other business differentiators. With the leading scheduling tool in the business, you can reduce redundancies, cut down on unnecessary trips, get the most out of your resources, while lessening your environmental footprint.
IFS Applications enables you to optimize resources based on contract scheduling constraints and service level agreements and ensure that the right technicians are in the right place at the right time. And the transparent, agile software facilitates contingency planning so you can reschedule on the fly if necessary. Also, the mobility enabled by IFS Applications means technicians spend more time in the field and less in the office, earning more, saving time and cutting administration costs.
IFS Applications’ built-in mobility ensures instant data capture—by the minute at times—and information flow for accuracy both upstream and downstream in the service supply chain. Equipping your field workforce with smartphones, tablets or laptops from the field not only increases productivity thanks to enhanced usability, but also improves the customer service experience.
With IFS Applications you know you have the right spares available, vans are correctly stocked, and you can see what has been used, and where. Its inventory management capabilities are integrated with your purchasing processes and supply chain management software. When parts have been reported used, you get an immediate update that triggers a purchase order if required to keep stocks at their agreed level—no more, no less.
Wherever you operate, the multisite, multi-language, multi-currency capabilities of IFS Applications ensure that your customers feel they are dealing with one company, with standard, unvarying quality of performance and delivery. And as you grow, IFS Applications lets you quickly integrate the new entities, reducing time to value and helping them contribute to ROI as fast as possible.
