Interform enhances IFS output

Interform IFS illustration

Interform is an IFS business partner solution that helps customers design, automate and control all output and data workflows in a simple and reliable way. 

IFS generates the business data. Interform handles document design, logic and distribution outside the ERP. 

IFS customers often reach the limits of standard output and data handling as requirements grow 

Typical challenges include :

  • Labels, barcodes and RFID output
  • Electronic invoicing and regional compliance formats 
  • Multi-brand or multi-entity document variations 
  • Maintaining output stability during ERP upgrades or migrations

Without the right tool, every change becomes time-consuming and dependent on specialist consultants.

Interform for IFS 

Interform adds an intelligent, user-friendly output layer on top of IFS. 

Documents, labels and workflows are designed and managed outside the ERP, without coding. 

This makes output easier to change, easier to maintain and safer during upgrades. 

How Interform works with IFS 

IFS generates the business data. Interform completes the output process outside the ERP: document and label; design; data logic and validation, workflow automation; distribution across print, PDF, email and integrations. All output remains independent of IFS version and hosting model. 

ERP on-premise architecture

When your ERP runs on-premise, Interform is typically deployed on-premise as well. Interform acts as a composable output layer: the ERP generates business data, while Interform manages document design, workflows, and distribution – without embedding logic in ERP code.

Upgrade-safe Output Management

Because output is decoupled from the ERP core, ERP upgrades and maintenance can be completed without reworking business-critical documents and labels, reducing risk across the ERP lifecycle.

Stable performance and operational control

An on-premise ERP and Interform setup ensures predictable print performance and local control of core processes such as label and document printing, safeguarding daily operations.

Full flexibility

When moving your ERP to the cloud, Interform NG2 can be deployed either in the cloud (with a local print client) or on-premise

Print performance for cloud ERP

If print performance is a priority, deploying Interform NG2 on-premise can be advantageous, allowing data to flow directly from a cloud ERP to a local output solution for fast and more reliable printing

Safe ERP migrations and upgrades

Interform operates as a composable output layer, decoupled from the ERP core, enabling safer ERP upgrades and cloud migrations

Cross company capability

Output is a cross-company capability that integrates data from Finance, Supply Chain, Warehousing, and non-ERP systems, enabling all output to be managed in one place across the organisation
