We are delighted to announce that Cooper Software, a long-standing and respected IFS channel partner, will now be part of the Global IFS ISV Partner Program. 

Their product portfolio of IFS-compatible solutions, with three innovative offerings, are designed to streamline operations, ensure compliance, and improve collaboration within IFS environments. These solutions ACQUIRE, MTD, and STICKIES are tailored to meet specific business needs and leveraged as ISV solutions on IFS Cloud. 

ACQUIRE: Mobile Data Capture for Warehouse Efficiency 

ACQUIRE is a mobile data capture and barcoding system that automates warehouse operations, enabling faster decision-making and reducing administrative overhead. Fully integrated with IFS Cloud and previous versions, and compatible with Microsoft Windows Mobile and Android platforms, ACQUIRE eliminates secondary processes and simplifies EDI transactions. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Automates warehouse operations for efficiency and cost-effectiveness. 
  • Works seamlessly with IFS and mobile platforms. 
  • Reduces manual effort and data entry errors. 

 
“ACQUIRE is a success story. We don’t measure the responsiveness of the scanners; we measure the level of satisfaction of our operators. We have got the right solution in place to support our overarching business goals of creating more efficiencies and being commercially progressive.”  
– Sabi Andreotti, Business Design Analyst, Farrow and Ball. 
 

MTD: Making Tax Digital for VAT Compliance 

MTD ensures VAT submissions are HMRC-compliant and error-free, supporting IFS customers with operations in the UK, with a secure, scalable solution. Built on IFS standards, MTD automates VAT return preparation and submission, reducing risk and saving time. 

Key Benefits: 

  • Fully HMRC-recognized and compliant. 
  • Cloud-based, scalable solution. 
  • Eliminates manual VAT processes and reduces penalties. 

“We use Cooper Software’s MTD solution to submit our monthly group VAT return for 3 companies integrated directly into IFS. Cooper’s solution is simple to configure, provides a virtually seamless output from IFS and submissions appear in the Cooper MTD portal ready for submission to HMRC. Submissions are therefore as simple as a click of a button on a web page.”  
– Group IT Manager, CML Microsystems. 

STICKIES: Enhanced note-taking in IFS Cloud 

STICKIES enables quick, informal communication similar to sticky notes, while maintaining compliance and governance standards, accessible at any page in IFS Cloud.  

Key Benefits: 

  • Fast, contextual note-taking without leaving IFS. 
  • Fully integrated with IFS Cloud. 
  • Improves collaboration and reduces communication gaps. 

“Stickies is a great example of how we respond to customer needs. When moving to IFS Cloud meant losing an appreciated workflow feature called Sticky Notes, we saw an opportunity—not a limitation. We rebuilt it and made it better, ensuring customers can move forward without leaving valuable ways of working behind.” 

– David Kidd, Delivery Director, Cooper Software
