What distinguishes IFS ERP from SAP in the 2025 manufacturing ERP landscape, and why might a company choose one over the other?

In 2025, IFS ERP stands out for upper mid-market and asset-intensive manufacturers—offering industry-tailored modules like field service, project management, and easy-to-use interfaces that drive quick deployment and strong user adoption. Conversely, SAP (particularly SAP S/4HANA) is suited for large, global enterprises requiring deep finance, complex supply chain, and regulatory capabilities, supported by a vast ecosystem and scalability. The choice boils down to business size, industry focus, implementation complexity, and the priority between agility versus breadth of enterprise functionality.
