Their choice to implement IFS Cloud which has vital Industrial AI within its architecture will help strengthen production planning, optimize resource utilization, improve supply chain coordination and enhance project execution. IFS is proud to be part of the modernization of one of the Kingdom’s leading manufacturers that delivers complex industrial projects.”

 

Eng Abdullah Al Sabhan, CEO and Vice Chairman at METSCCO said, “Industrial needs are ever changing, and it is important for us to stay ahead of the curve. IFS Cloud helps us unify our assets, operations and service. Having our engineering, projects, procurement, manufacturing and finance on a single platform makes it even stronger for an engineer-to-order organization like ours. The ability to help us work within our own parameters, rather than for us having to adapt to a provided ERP was one of the highlights of the IFS Cloud solution. Moreover, IFS.ai Industrial AI provides us with real-time operational input that helps us to make timely decisions with auditable action for our esteemed customers.”
