Leading ERP software specialist, Cooper Software and global enterprise applications company IFS, have agreed to form both a channel and services partnership that will increase the ability of both companies to sell and deliver IFS solutions to customers in the Benelux region (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg). 

By extending its existing partnership, Cooper Software will be able to offer value-added services to new and existing customers in the region. Cooper Software’s vast knowledge and experience of IFS, coupled with their extensive industry capability and range of powerful tools and products, which have been developed exclusively for IFS users regardless of location, will provide customers within the Benelux region with access to a comprehensive level of service from an award-winning, IFS Gold Channel and Services Partner.

Furthermore, confirming their status as a certified IFS partner within the same territory will allow Cooper Software to focus on selling, implementing and supporting the IFS solution throughout the region, in particular targeting companies within the oil and gas, manufacturing, construction and renewables sectors.

Neil Campbell, Cooper Software’s European Regional Manager (DACH and Benelux) will work closely with the local IFS partner team to raise awareness of its offering in order to help IFS Benelux to increase their capability in serving the local market. 

Commenting on the partnership, Frank Cooper, Cooper Software’s Executive Chairman, said “We are delighted to be able to form this partnership to support IFS in the Benelux region. Through our expert consulting services and extensive product suite, we look forward to working together to deliver a well-rounded offering to IFS customers within the region. We have both the capacity and capability to commit to fully servicing this space and are looking forward to developing the opportunities within the market.”
