IFS Manufacturing vs. Alternatives in 2023

Some of the main competitors for IFS Manufacturing include Epicor Vantage and Exact Macola.

Epicor Vantage is a manufacturing ERP solution which is built on a service oriented architecture. It can be deployed on premise and in the cloud, and supports workflow automation to manage the production process. Manufacturers have access to features such as production planning & scheduling, materials requirement planning, as well as product data management. Additionally enterprise features such as financials, sales, CRM, project management and supply chain management are included.

IFS Manufacturing on the other hand while addressing the core ERP features like that of Epicor Vantage, also supports discrete, process, repetitive and project manufacturing requirements. It follows the product lifecycle management solution which tracks a product from design & development through manufacturing & sales, distribution, as well as after sales support. Additionally there is support for impact analysis & quality control to provide environmental & sustainability reporting for production.

Exact Macola however does not support these features although it does address manufacturing ERP requirements. However it includes business workflow mapping and process monitoring for automated actions based on pre-defined business events. Additionally it provides options for financials, customer management and intelligent document management to control the production information flow.

IFS Manufacturing while supporting these features also includes a collaboration platform and self service portals for employees, suppliers and customers. The product also includes sales & marketing, procurement, supply chain management as well as demand planning. In terms of deployment it is available both on premise and as a private cloud solution, which offers greater security to customers.
