Success Stories That Speak For Themselves

Automotive Manufacturing

Leading DRL Manufacturer

One of our clients, a leading automotive DRL manufacturer, struggled with low IFS adoption and disconnected data across operations. Through targeted customisations, system upgrades, and focused user training, we helped them:

  • Improve IFS adoption from 60% to nearly 90%
  • Simplify material movements between warehouses and plants.
  • Reduce process inefficiencies through a more connected IFS setup.

We're currently supporting their upgrade from IFS Apps 9 to Cloud 25R1, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal downtime.
