Deploying IFS Cloud to enable continuous improvement in an international horticulture business
Change8 delivered a complex technical upgrade from Apps 9 to IFS Cloud for Flamingo Group International.
IFS Cloud for construction industries
Providing control, clarity, and confidence across complex projects, programmes, and delivery environments.
IFS Cloud is built for the complexity of construction, helping you manage projects, people, assets, and compliance from a single platform
Construction projects involve constant change. Budgets evolve, timelines shift, regulatory demands increase, and teams operate across multiple sites and partners. What many organisations lack is a single, reliable view of delivery.
This is where IFS Cloud, delivered by Change8, brings clarity.
IFS Cloud brings together project management, finance, procurement, and supply chain into one connected platform. Construction teams gain real-time visibility, stronger financial control, and the operational confidence needed to keep projects moving and decisions aligned from start to finish.
What Construction Teams Achieve with IFS Cloud
Smarter Commercial Control
Every project runs differently and so your commercial model should flex with it. IFS Cloud lets you manage complex payment structures without losing grip on cash flow or profitability.
Supports:
- Fixed-price delivery
- Time & Materials
- Value-driven contracts
- Progress-based billing
Stronger Risk &
Compliance Oversight
Risk in construction is unavoidable, but unmanaged risk is expensive. IFS Cloud provides early visibility into issues long before they become problems.
Capabilities include:
- Contract and insurance tracking
- Safety and incident logging
- Environmental and regulatory monitoring
- Full audit trails across all project activity
A Workforce You Can Rely On
Construction success depends on the people on the ground.
IFS Cloud helps you ensure the right skills, certifications, and subcontractors are lined up exactly when and where they’re needed.
Includes:
- Workforce and subcontractor scheduling
- Qualification and competency tracking
- Automated compliance checks
Modern Construction,
Fully Supported
For organisations operating with off-site, modular, or prefabricated approaches, IFS Cloud provides the digital backbone to keep production and assembly in sync.
Benefit from:
- A unified engineer-to-order environment
- Connected factory, site, and installation activities
- Higher productivity and lower delivery risk
Complete Asset &
Equipment Intelligence
Assets sitting idle or going untracked drain margins fast.
IFS Cloud gives you a complete picture of every owned or rented item, from how it’s used, where it’s deployed, and what it’s costing.
You’ll gain:
- Real-time utilisation insights
- Accurate project charge-backs
- Cost and accrual tracking
- One view for both owned and rental fleets
Scope Changes Without the Chaos
Scope is fluid. Your system needs to keep pace.
IFS Cloud lets you manage variations, approvals, and financial impacts without resorting to spreadsheets or guesswork.
You can:
- Process and track changes instantly
- Manage withholding structures
- Forecast downstream cost and cash-flow impacts
- Maintain control when the project shifts
