In a groundbreaking move that marks a significant milestone for both Astra Canyon Group (ACG) and Graham Manufacturing, we are proud to announce our collaboration, setting the stage for the first-ever IFS channel resell deal in North America. This partnership is not only groundbreaking but also born out of a shared vision and a commitment to addressing the unique challenges faced by Graham Manufacturing.
Challenges That Sparked Change
Graham Manufacturing, a distinguished player in the industry, recognized the need for change. Their existing systems were grappling with a series of challenges that demanded a fresh approach:
- Manual Entry Blues: The manual entry and re-entry of the same information had become a tedious and error-prone process, hampering efficiency.
- Aging Systems: Their legacy systems were struggling to keep pace with the ever-evolving demands of their industry and the world at large.
- Customer Demands: Graham Manufacturing's clients were increasingly seeking more information than their current systems could provide, putting pressure on their customer support capabilities.
Unlocking the Power of IFS
In their search for a solution, Graham Manufacturing selected IFS for their ERP system, and here's why:
- Streamlining Operations: The innovative system offered by IFS provides built-in functionality like role-specific "lobbies," which will enable Graham Manufacturing to define and prioritize schedules and tasks across different departments, potentially leading to significant streamlining of their operations.
- Consolidation of Systems: IFS presents a holistic solution with the ability to consolidate multiple discrete programs responsible for various functions into one comprehensive enterprise system. This approach will help Graham eliminate silos and enhance efficiency.
- The Perfect Fit: Graham Manufacturing chose Astra Canyon and IFS because both software and service seamlessly align with their unique requirements. IFS is not only well-equipped to handle a project-based company like Graham, but also boasts built-in capabilities for managing defense manufacturing and meeting FedRAMP requirements.
- Aerospace & Defense Expertise: Another critical factor influencing Graham Manufacturing's decision-making process is IFS's extensive presence in the aerospace and defense sector. Considering IFS as a potential partner with a deep understanding of the specific system requirements of government customers provides Graham with peace of mind.
