IFS, the global enterprise applications company, announces that Dole subsidiary Dole Fresh Cuts has chosen IFS Applications™ 9 to replace its legacy business systems. The overall goal is to optimize its supply chain and workflows.

Following a competitive evaluation process, Dole Fresh Cuts has chosen IFS Applications 9 to streamline its procurement, order and inventory handling, forecasting and production planning, distribution and financial support for invoicing.

We also look forward to deploying additional IFS capabilities as the dynamics and needs of our operations evolve.”
