Flamingo Flowers | Manufacturing | 10000 | $404M | United Kingdom | IFS | IFS Cloud ERP | ERP Financial | 2022 |
In 2022 Flamingo Flowers deployed IFS Cloud ERP as its core platform to address multi-country horticulture and agribusiness operations, positioning the implementation within the ERP Financial category to centralize finance and operational control across growing, processing, marketing, and distribution functions. Change8 delivered a complex technical upgrade from IFS Apps 9 to IFS Cloud ERP, executing a cloud migration that the business described as seamless with zero impact on key performance metrics.
The IFS Cloud ERP implementation focused on standard ERP Financial capabilities for core financial management, accounts, and statutory reporting while aligning supply chain and operational workflows for inventory control, procurement, and production processing common to horticulture operations. The deployment emphasized configuration for continuous improvement, using the evergreen platform model to allow Flamingo Flowers to adopt new functionality iteratively and keep application versions current without disruptive upgrades.
Architecturally the project migrated on premises application footprints into the IFS Cloud ERP environment, consolidating fragmented data sources and reducing manual reconciliation points that previously limited real time reporting. Change8’s technical workstream included data consolidation and process automation to improve visibility across farms and distribution networks spanning Europe and Africa, while maintaining operational continuity during cutover.
Governance and rollout combined a people centric change approach with a programme governance structure that prioritized user adoption, training, and ongoing support, reflecting Flamingo’s desire for a hands on partner experienced in horticulture. The business evolved into an active continuous improvement programme on the evergreen IFS Cloud ERP platform, adopting new modules and updates as they become available, with project stakeholders reporting no adverse effects on performance during the transition.
