Switching from NetSuite to IFS
See why more businesses are moving from NetSuite to IFS™ for a purpose built, industry specific ERP solution that delivers deeper functionality, faster ROI, and long term scalability.
Is it time to switch to IFS?
NetSuite’s one size fits all model may work for some, but if your business needs advanced capabilities tailored to your industry, you may be ready for a change. IFS offers a fully integrated platform, built for your sector from the ground up, helping you achieve greater efficiency, flexibility, and growth.
Setting the standard
IFS consistently outperforms NetSuite and other generic ERP systems, delivering the precision, control, and insight your business needs to thrive – without the costly add ons or compromises.
IFS vs. NetSuite: Finding the right fit for your business
Purpose built or generic?
Every manufacturer’s processes are unique, from customer demands to data management, inventory, and pricing models. Can a one size fits all ERP really support the specific needs of your sector? Or is it time to consider a system designed for your exact industry?
Choose an ERP built for your industry
Want to take full control of your business? An industry specific ERP system gives you the automation, insight, and capabilities needed to operate efficiently and profitably. If your current software is outdated or no longer supports your goals, it’s time to switch. Move to IFS – a modern, intelligent ERP solution – and unlock greater agility, flexibility, and scalability.

Who is it really for?
NetSuite delivers a single product for all industries, meaning you’ll either need to adapt the software to fit your business or change your business to match the software. Both options risk adding cost, complexity, and delays.
- Gaps in core manufacturing functionality
- Costly add ons for basic requirements
- Overly complex, irrelevant features
- Processes that don’t reflect your operational reality
Why you win with IFS
Independent studies show that industry specific ERP systems deliver stronger ROI because they fit your processes from day one. IFS customers benefit from:
- Deep sector expertise
- True purpose built ERP solutions
- Flexible, scalable, industry specific capabilities
- World class development and innovation
- Faster deployment and adoption times
- Expert services delivered directly by IFS™ teams
NetSuite’s hidden trade offs
A base NetSuite package may look affordable at first glance, but functionality gaps often require costly customisation or upgrades, sometimes before you’ve even completed your first year of use.
- Core features missing for key manufacturing needs
- Extra charges for essential modules
- Complicated functionality that slows adoption
- Indirect implementation through third party partners
Shared success vs. added pressure
At IFS, your success drives our success. We keep things straightforward with transparent licensing, value driven pricing, and flexible deployment, with no penalties for moving between cloud, on premise, or hybrid models.
NetSuite’s approach can feel different. Initial low cost entry often followed by upsell pressure for extra modules and services, locking you into a structure that limits your flexibility.
Key questions to ask NetSuite
Before deciding, make sure you get clear answers to these:
- Will NetSuite handle my implementation directly, or will it be outsourced to a partner?
- If it’s a partner, will I sign the contract with NetSuite or with the partner?
- Will I still receive all NetSuite branded benefits if implemented via a partner?
- How long will the full end to end implementation take?
- Does the deployment package include training?
- What will my total cost of ownership be after adding all required features?
