To transform your business, realize new opportunities, handle change, and deliver high quality products and services, you need your people to be engaged and committed in what they do. Paramount to this is having the ability to work while on the move, using a mobile device of preference.

• IFS Aurena is a browser-based user experience built to be fully responsive and fully customizable, allowing you to work the way you prefer to work on the device that’s best for the job.

• For specialized tasks, IFS offers dedicated mobile field service software and warehouse data collection capabilities that improve the way your teams work and boost efficiency every step of the way.

IFS also offer a series of everyday mobile business apps designed to make tasks like timesheet and expense submission as quick and simple as possible.

To make sure IFS Applications works on your terms - and the devices you like to use - the main user experience - IFS Aurena - is designed to be responsive in ways not normally associated with business applications.

Covering the full functional scope of IFS Applications, IFS Aurena adapts to screen sizes and device capabilities in the same way you expect from well-designed consumer software. It is available in browsers on Windows, Mac, iOS or Android devices. This means that you can enjoy the same powerful functionality on phone, tablet or desktop - pages adapt automatically to suit your needs.

The responsive behavior goes beyond simply reflowing the layout into a different number of columns, according to screen size. For example, if you’re working on smaller devices, where space is at a premium, columns are intelligently removed so that the most important information is still visible. On phones, the buttons move from the top to the bottom of the screen so that they are closer to your thumb when holding your phone with one hand.

For field service organizations, empowering service technicians and increasing workforce productivity are some of the main drivers to increased customer satisfaction and profitability. IFS Mobile Work Order, built on IFS’ new IFS Aurena Native mobile framework provides all the capability a field technician needs in a highly configurable app that can be tailored to your processes without the need for customization. Field technicians have access to all the customer and equipment details, documentation, inventory and task related information they need to ensure their work is done right first time in the most efficient way to provide service that delights your customers. The framework includes offline capability that ensures service can be delivered regardless of network coverage.

In Maintenance, both site-based and disparately-located engineers need the right information available to them to undertake preventive and reactive work on high value assets in an efficient and effective manner. Here, IFS offers a maintenance-specific version of IFS Mobile Work Order, centered around the equipment being maintained with offline capability whilst also offering Technician Portals - a responsive online application that provides all the capability of mobile work order with a simple, quick to deploy architecture that lets you get up and running in minutes.
