IFS and Cenmetrix have signed a strategic partnership agreement where both companies will work together to provide a total software and hardware solution to the customer.

“Having a reliable partner who could provide one vital element for the offering that makes it a complete end-to-end solution, gives great confidence and convenience to our prospects. We believe the partnership with Cenmetrix would add that vital ingredient we could offer the customer and we are very happy and look forward for a great partnership between two organisations that have similar values, and culture,” IFS South Asia Director Sales and Marketing Shiraz Lye said.

“The dynamics of business around the world is changing. Consumers are looking for total solution providers to do business with. The IFS and Cenmetrix strategic synergy will help us deliver the most optimum solution to benefit our customers,” Centmetric Director Farhard Hussain said.
