IFS PBS 3.0 project-based solutions software

IFS has launched its project-based solutions software, PBS 3.0, designed to give organisations greater visibility and control of their business-critical projects.

The software offers organisations an application that incorporates the benefits of a fully integrated ERP suite with specialist functionality for project control, project financial control and project materials management. The solution can also be integrated with third-party planning tools to improve users’ ability to manage projects throughout their life cycle and ensure vital project data is captured at the heart of core business systems.

The enhanced financial control features within it are designed to give users better revenue visibility across projects, the ability to predict future cost implications when changes occur to a project schedule and the means to keep tight control of actual versus projected costs through real-time data on project progress. In addition, materials management functionality allows users to manage bulk materials efficiently, ensuring the correct volumes are in stock at the right time, reducing unnecessary bottlenecks across project lines.

Available through the IFS Enterprise Explorer (IEE) user interface, the system has been developed with ease-of-use in mind, helping project managers to be in control of their projects with speed and accuracy. As the solution gives users access to data in real time, they always have to the latest information to hand, helping them make timely and accurate decisions.
