Best for: Asset-intensive industries needing ERP, EAM, and field service in one platform

Per-User Subscription Pricing

This ERP uses named-user or concurrent-user licensing. You pay a monthly or annual fee for each person who accesses the system. Cost scales directly with headcount — adding users increases your subscription. Most cloud ERPs use this model. Negotiating based on committed user count and contract length typically secures better rates. Be sure to understand which users need 'full' access vs 'limited' access, as vendors often price these tiers differently.

About IFS Applications Pricing

IFS Cloud (the current offering, evolved from IFS Applications) is subscription-priced per Full User or Task User. Full users have complete access; Task Users are lower-cost for workers doing specific processes (field service, shop floor). IFS targets asset-intensive industries: aerospace & defence, energy, utilities, construction, and service-centric manufacturers.

IFS Applications Pricing FAQs

How much does IFS Cloud cost?
IFS Cloud pricing ranges from approximately $100–$300 per user per month depending on user type (Full User vs Task User) and the modules licensed. Organisations of 100–500 users typically pay $500,000–$2M/year in software subscription. Enterprise deployments in aerospace & defence often exceed $3M/year. All pricing is custom-quoted.
What industries does IFS specialise in?
IFS is known for depth in asset-intensive and service-centric industries: aerospace & defence, energy & utilities, oil & gas, construction & engineering, and field service management. Its ERP, EAM (Enterprise Asset Management), FSM (Field Service Management), and project management capabilities are particularly strong in these verticals.
What is the difference between IFS ERP, IFS EAM, and IFS FSM?
IFS Cloud is a unified platform encompassing ERP (financials, HR, manufacturing, supply chain), EAM (enterprise asset management including maintenance planning, work orders, reliability), and FSM (field service management including scheduling, mobile, and customer portals). Organisations pay for the functional areas they activate.
How long does IFS implementation take?
IFS implementations typically take 9–18 months for mid-enterprise deployments. Complex aerospace, defence, or multi-site energy sector rollouts can extend to 24–36 months. IFS offers accelerated deployment packages for specific industry configurations that reduce implementation timelines.
Is IFS a good alternative to SAP for field service?
IFS is widely regarded as the leading alternative to SAP for organisations where field service management is a primary requirement. IFS FSM is native to the IFS Cloud platform rather than a bolt-on, providing tighter integration between service scheduling, parts, and financials than many SAP FSM implementations achieve.
