In 2019 AFB International selected and deployed IFS Cloud ERP (new application: IFS Cloud ERP) to replace a legacy system, standardizing core financial and manufacturing operations on a cloud-hosted ERP Financial platform. The initial implementation was organized around the EnviroLogix business unit in Portland, ME, with an IFS ERP Business Analyst embedded in the enterprise applications team to drive process design, change management, training, and ongoing operational support.
Implementation work focused on discrete manufacturing and planning functionality (MRP, CRP, Kanban, inventory and production planning) alongside core financials and reporting. The deployment included user-facing configurations such as custom objects, IFS Lobbies, saved searches and customer-ready reports (Crystal Reports/Business Reporter), plus data migration and upgrade/test activities governed by formal SDLC practices. Operational scope centers on day-to-day and strategic ERP enablement for manufacturing and planning teams, cross-functional collaboration with IT and external vendors for troubleshooting, and continuous expansion of IFS usage and maturity within the business unit.

| ServiceChannel | Legacy | ServiceChannel | Facility Management | ERP Services and Operations | n/a | 2015 | 2016 |
In 2015 AFB International implemented ServiceChannel in a Facility Management role across its two flagship manufacturing plants in Aurora Missouri, aligning the application with engineering and operations functions under a combined operating and engineering budget of $500M. The ServiceChannel deployment was positioned to standardize repair and maintenance reporting, support budget governance, and introduce maintenance benchmarking across plant operations.
ServiceChannel was configured to support core facility management workflows including work order management, asset inventory tracking, preventive maintenance scheduling, and reporting and analytics to enable predictive maintenance. Implementation activities emphasized configuration of maintenance benchmarking metrics and automated repair and maintenance reporting, coupled with new budget guideline templates to align spend tracking to capital and expense projects.
Operational coverage included the engineering organization, plant maintenance technicians, building engineers, life safety and compliance teams, and operations leadership across both plants. No named system integrations are recorded, the rollout focused on embedding ServiceChannel into day to day maintenance and safety processes and surfacing analytics to plant and corporate engineering leaders.
Governance changes accompanied the software rollout, with new standard operating procedures for repairs and maintenance, a benchmarking cadence chaired by the life safety committee, and expanded safety subcommittees to accelerate issue resolution. Using ServiceChannel enabled maintenance benchmarking and visibility to predictive analytics, and AFB International reports concrete operational outcomes including a 45 percent reduction in chronic mechanical failures, a 28 percent improvement in equipment uptime and reliability, a 65 percent reduction in plant defects, a 98 percent reduction in microbial cross contamination, zero recordable injuries for 295 consecutive days, a 48 percent reduction in waste removal expenses, a 17 percent decrease in employee turnover, and completion of capital and expense projects 100 percent on time and on budget.
