* Manufacturing / Projects – MRP, Shop Floor Control, Project Management
* Service & Asset Management – FSM, Maintenance, Work Orders, Asset Lifecycle
* Strong understanding of IFS Cloud configuration models, solution layering, and extension framework

* Multi‑country or global IFS implementations
* Integration architecture involving third‑party systems (e.g. Salesforce, Azure, middleware platforms)
* Industry experience in Manufacturing, Construction, Engineering, or Service‑based organisations
