New IFS Cloud implementations
Get live on IFS Cloud with less risk and fewer nasty surprises.
A new ERP is one of the biggest commitments a manufacturer makes — and one of the easiest to get wrong. I help you scope realistically, configure IFS Cloud around how you actually operate, and steer the project past the traps that sink first-timers: over-customisation, dirty data, and a design that reflects the brochure instead of the business.
What's included
- Discovery and process mapping across your operation
- Realistic scope, phasing and effort — before you commit
- Core configuration: manufacturing, supply chain, finance, projects
- Data migration strategy and cleansing support
- Testing, cutover planning and go-live cover
- Post go-live stabilisation and hypercare

Upgrades & migration
Move from legacy ERP or older IFS versions onto IFS Cloud — cleanly.
Upgrades stall for predictable reasons: unclear scope, forgotten customisations and no plan for the modifications that piled up over the years. Whether you're coming from IFS Applications 8/9/10 or an ageing legacy system, I help you plan the move, decide what to carry over and what to leave behind, and treat the upgrade as a chance to fix old mistakes rather than repeat them.
What's included
- Upgrade readiness assessment and gap analysis
- Review of customisations, extensions and integrations
- A clear, de-risked migration roadmap
- Reimplementation vs. technical-upgrade guidance
- Testing and parallel-run support
- Change management for new IFS Cloud ways of working

Functional consultancy
Hands-on IFS configuration across the areas that run your business.
Sometimes you don't need a whole programme — you need an experienced pair of hands who genuinely knows the modules. I provide focused functional consultancy across manufacturing, supply chain, procurement, finance, projects and service, configuring IFS to solve specific problems and closing the gaps that generalist consultants miss.
What's included
- Manufacturing (shop orders, MRO, ETO/MTO/discrete, batch)
- Supply chain, inventory and procurement
- Finance, costing and project accounting
- Service, contracts and asset management
- Report, dashboard and KPI design
- Fixing configuration that isn't behaving

Managed support & AMS
A steady, senior hand long after the project team has gone.
Go-live is the start, not the finish. I offer ongoing application support and managed services that keep IFS Cloud healthy — resolving issues, answering the 'how do I…' questions, and making the small changes that keep the system aligned with the business as it evolves. No ticket-queue anonymity; you deal with the person who knows your setup.
What's included
- Application support and issue resolution
- Enhancements and change requests
- User guidance and floor-walking
- Release and update management
- Health-checks and configuration reviews
- Flexible retained days to suit your size

Continuous improvement
Turn a working system into a genuinely optimised one.
Most IFS installations only use a fraction of what they've paid for. Once the dust settles, I help you find the wins that were parked during go-live: automating the manual workarounds, tightening the data, switching on capability you already own, and making sure the numbers people rely on are actually trustworthy.
What's included
- Post-implementation optimisation reviews
- Unlocking modules and features you already licence
- Process automation and workaround removal
- Data quality and master-data improvement
- Reporting, analytics and KPI trust
- A prioritised, rolling improvement backlog

FAQ
Questions I get asked a lot.
Do you resell IFS licences?
No. Meta ERP is independent and sells no software. That means the advice you get is impartial — I have nothing to gain from you buying more modules or licences than you need.
Can you pick up a project that's already in trouble?
Yes. A good share of my work is coming into stalled or struggling implementations and upgrades, working out what's really going on, and getting things moving again with a realistic plan.
How do you charge?
Flexibly — fixed-scope for defined pieces of work, or day-rate / retainer for ongoing support and partner augmentation. You'll always know what you're committing to before we start.
Do you work remotely or on-site?
Both. Most delivery works well remotely, with on-site time for workshops, testing and go-live where it genuinely adds value.
Ready to de-risk your IFS Cloud project?
