Case Study: Whitford achieves complete visibility and accelerated growth with IFS Applications

IFS applications™ provides complete visibility and enables continued growth

Whitford Worldwide, a PPG Industrial Coatings subsidiary, manufactures fluoropolymer coatings sold in more than 100 countries and operates 14 sites with roughly 750 employees. Rapid growth, complex global supply chains, stringent and changing regulatory requirements, and a siloed legacy IT landscape left the company without the real-time visibility and agility needed to support decision-making and new product development.

Whitford implemented IFS Applications across finance, production and embedded CRM to unify data and processes, replace disparate systems, and give employees a single view of customers, orders, inventory and financials. The rollout delivered real-time process visibility, faster product testing and time-to-market, improved compliance and customer service, and reduced reporting overhead — with plans to upgrade to IFS Applications 10 to add mobile sales capabilities.
