From preliminary studies to implementation, MFI provides its customers with all the necessary expertise and support that will allow them to grasp all aspects of their project, whether they be technical, administrative, organizational, etc.
A Wide Range of Support Services
Consultancy:
- on technical issues: MFI carries out a Design Study which lays out all technical specifications for the project based on the customer's needs and on-site surveys.
- on organizational issues: implementing new systems goes along with new work methods. MFI assists its customers optimizing their organization and making the most of their new tools.
