The management of processes, formulae and materials, regulatory control, the complexities of managing bulk materials and integration with production plant and equipment are just some of the key challenges facing the chemical manufacturing and distribution industry today. In addition, many sectors of the industry have to comply with domestic and international regulations for hazardous materials like REACH, TSCA and CSIA.
IFS addresses these needs by providing a fully integrated enterprise resource planning (ERP) software solution for the chemical manufacturing industry. Whether you are struggling with complex processes, keeping up with regulation or simply trying to take the business away from spreadsheet proliferation to build a more cohesive organization, IFS has the solution for you.
