Case Study: Cleaver-Brooks achieves cost reduction and accelerated growth with IFS

Cleaver-Brooks reduces costs and achieves growth with IFS

Cleaver-Brooks is a global manufacturer of boiler-room solutions that builds complex, engineer-to-order and configure-to-order products—often with bills of materials containing 300–600 characteristics. Rapid growth, multiple locations and legacy systems made it hard to standardize processes, gain real-time visibility and efficiently handle large, configurable orders without increasing headcount.

By rolling out IFS site-by-site, Cleaver-Brooks established a single system of record with dynamic BOM/configuration rules, consolidated dashboards (IFS Lobbies), and multi-language/multi-currency support. The result: shorter lead times, projected inventory reductions of 30–40% at a new plant, better operational visibility and continued business growth without adding staff.
