BENEFITS FOR THE PROJECT MANAGER“IT’S ALWAYS AVAILABLE, EASY ACCESS AND EASY TO USE, BOOSTS PRODUCTIVITY”

Borg van Katwijk, Financial Director at Visser & Smit Marine Contracting;

“Our workforce is becoming increasingly mobile. By using business apps, such as IFS Notify Me, our employees are no longer required to be at their desks. IFS Notify Me enables them to approve purchase orders and invoices at any time and at any location—at home, at the office, or on the go. This boosts productivity and ensures up-to-date information in our central ERP system. We are also working closely with IFS on the future development of new Touch Apps.”
