IFS Ultimo
IFS Ultimo - an EAM system you will implement cost-effectively in a short period of time.
InfoConsulting and IFS have now entered into a partnership agreement that means we will be providing both sales and support of the IFS Ultimo EAM solution for businesses to help drive transparent management of enterprise business assets.
Running a business in the modern world of manufacturing creates both threats and opportunities and it is the hidden threat of working assets no longer working to peak performance.
An asset that is working at less than peak performance has a knock-on effect on other areas, including protecting the environment, making sure employees are kept safe, and also making sure that a plant or facility does not suffer from any periods of extended downtime.
In today’s world, time lost costs money, especially in high-level manufacturing, healthcare, and logistics organizations where even the smallest amount of downtime can have serious repercussions for the business, and more importantly the customers of your business.
What is IFS Ultimo EAM
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) software is a must for any forward-thinking business and can help support a number of cost-saving initiatives by using up to date information and data on your company’s fixed assets.
There are three levels within the IFS Ultimo range which serve different levels of the company.
- IFS Ultimo Professional
- IFS Ultimo Premium
- IFS Ultimo Enterprise
You will be in good company using EAM, as many of our customers have seen a wide variety of benefits in implementing EAM. Companies that currently use IFS Ultimo include the likes of Air Liquide, Dr. Oetker, Bosch, BASF, BP Castrol, Dachser Intelligent Logistics, Total Energies, Vinci Airports, and many others.
These companies all have two core principles and goals when it comes to using EAM software. One is to make sure critical assets are updated and overhauled to provide the very best performance and eliminate downtime, and two, to make sure their employees are safe and they adhere to any and all local in-country health & safety regulations.
