Service Stream selects IFS mobile ERP

Global enterprise applications company IFS has announced a $2 million agreement with Service Stream, provider of essential network services to the Australian telecommunications and utility industries.

Under the agreement, Service Stream will replace existing enterprise systems with a single solution — IFS Applications 9.

With implementation commencing in November 2015, Service Stream will replace and consolidate multiple enterprise information systems with IFS Applications to promote operational efficiencies in its infrastructure projects and optimise project execution.

In addition to project management, financials, maintenance, supply chain management, sales and service, and document management, Service Stream will implement IFS Mobile Work Order to enable its field service staff to improve productivity and secure data quality.

Scheduled for completion in 2016, IFS will provide a single platform giving visibility to company executives and managers into program and project performance. The ability to provide visibility and management of project schedules, subcontractor engagement and execution, materials and inventory, customer/supplier invoicing, and integration with IFS Financials component were key considerations in Service Stream’s selection.

“Service providers to essential networks need modern, agile enterprise systems to optimise project execution in real time,” said IFS Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Rob Stummer.

“With IFS Mobile Work Order, for example, employees and subcontractors can access and update relevant information immediately.”
