IFS Cloud connects enterprise resource planning (ERP), maintenance and service for manufacturers. Eqeep is an IFS Specialized Partner for machinery, high tech, food and chemicals in the Benelux. We plan the work; your team chooses the priorities.
Production planners need to see how a changed order affects purchasing, capacity and delivery dates. Eqeep maps these dependencies and configures planning in IFS Cloud with your team. Your planners compare scenarios before committing materials or capacity. Explore demand forecasting.
Maintenance managers need a work schedule that fits the production plan. Eqeep connects asset records, maintenance needs and spare parts in IFS Cloud. Your team agrees the maintenance windows with production. Explore asset availability.
IT leads need to know which processes IFS Cloud will handle and which systems will stay. Eqeep defines the data, integrations and ownership with your team. You approve the scope and sequence before configuration starts. Explore composable ERP.
Start with the work that costs your team time or reduces service margin. Eqeep defines the starting point, the IFS functions needed and a measure for improvement. You decide whether the business case justifies the work.

Trace materials and quality records through production
EWT wanted to bring work back into IFS after staff had started using Excel workarounds. Interviews with management and key users identified the changes needed. IFS performed the technical upgrade from IFS Applications 8.2 to 9; Eqeep handled functional verification and testing. The team also improved planning data and material bookings through Mobile Work Order.
Planning, production and service teams need to see the same order and asset information. Eqeep defines the records and responsibilities, then tests each handover with your team.
Planning
We configure demand-driven material requirements planning (MRP) and test demand scenarios with your planners. Purchasing and production get a plan they can work from.
People decide: which demand scenario to use and when to order.
Production and assets
We connect enterprise asset management (EAM) and asset lifecycle management (ALM) to your maintenance plans. Your team gets a work schedule based on asset condition and production needs.
People decide: which maintenance window balances production needs, cost and risk.
Aftermarket
We configure contracts, parts and field service management (FSM) around your installed equipment. Your team checks service work against contract terms before invoicing.
People decide: which service commitments fit the available people and parts.
Eqeep tests an IFS.ai use case with your team against an agreed measure. You set the approval rules before it goes live.
Compare processes, data and integrations before deciding how to replace SAP ECC6 or JD Edwards. We assess where IFS Cloud fits your requirements.
IFS provides two release updates a year and monthly service updates. We plan testing, training and deployment around your operations.
Use data from your existing systems to see where work waits, repeats or takes a different route.
For machine builders, the starting point is the process that most affects delivery or service margin. For equipment already at customers, that may be installed equipment records, spare parts or contract coverage. Eqeep maps the problem with your team and agrees which process to address first.
Your production model determines which IFS functions you need. Alongside manufacturing ERP, consider IFS EAM and field service management. Asset availability brings maintenance and planning together. Eqeep assesses order configuration, engineering, spare parts, warranties and service contracts with your team.
No. IFS Cloud can run selected processes alongside SAP or another ERP system. Eqeep checks whether the required integrations and data ownership make that arrangement workable. Composable ERP explains the options.
Industrial AI fits recurring decisions that use planning, asset or service data. IFS.ai can prepare forecasts, flag exceptions and suggest actions. Eqeep tests a defined use case with your team before you decide whether to expand it.
Yes. IFS Cloud supports process manufacturing, including recipes, batches and traceability. Eqeep checks your production and quality requirements before proposing a design. See IFS for process manufacturing.
Your team decides delivery commitments, maintenance windows and acceptable cost or risk. IFS can prepare options and carry out authorised actions. Eqeep agrees the approval rules and escalation points with your team before automation goes live.
