V-ZUG AG, a Swiss market leader in household appliances, will use IFS Applications to support integrated processes—from purchasing to after-sales support—and manage V-ZUG's growing international operations.
The company develops innovative kitchen and washing appliances. In fact, ZUG appliances are said to be found in every second Swiss household, and the company strives for the best and fastest service in the industry.
ZUG will implement IFS Applications components for financials, engineering, distribution, manufacturing, after-sales services, and CRM. The solution will be deployed step-by-step over the next four years.
With strong support for project management, engineering, constraint-based scheduling, product configuration, and after-sales, IFS' component-based business solutions help companies improve quality, contain costs, and improve their competitive position in manufacturing industry segments such as machinery, defense, fabricated metal products, and plastics.
Industrial manufacturing companies also benefit from IFS' life-cycle management solution, which goes beyond product life-cycle management to provide better integration and management of three critical business areas—products, customers, and resources—throughout their life cycles.
