Prebuilt and user-friendly forecasting tools allow businesses to accurately predict demand, plan inventory, and manage resources—without requiring in-house data science expertise.

03. IFS.ai Copilot

A standout feature of the 25R1 release, Copilot now supports a broader range of business functions, including Supply Chain Event Management, Sales Quotation assistance, and even Time Prediction for field service and maintenance. It acts as a conversational, context-aware assistant embedded across workflows, helping users make quicker, smarter decisions directly within the platform.

04. IFS.ai Data and Work Generation

This powerful capability enables automated data extraction and task creation from unstructured sources—such as emails, PDFs, and forms—streamlining manual processes and reducing human error. It's a key driver for moving toward autonomous operations.

05. AI Copilots for Customer-Facing Workflows

Virtual assistants are now embedded in shipping, sales, and service processes, enabling real-time data access, decision-making support, and enhanced productivity across departments.

06. Emissions Management

Tools aligned with GHG Protocol and CSRD frameworks allow organizations to measure and report emissions across Scopes 1, 2, and 3, supporting both compliance and sustainability initiatives.

Driving Sustainability Through Technology

Powering Autonomous Operations with Industrial AI

IFS Cloud 25R1 accelerates the move from manual operations to AI-powered autonomy. Workflows are now smarter—capable of generating tasks from documents, forecasting maintenance schedules, and optimizing inventory with little to no manual input. These capabilities enable businesses to shift from reactive to proactive decision-making.

For energy, aerospace, manufacturing, and service industries, this means faster response times, better asset utilization, and measurable efficiency gains.

What Sets 25R1 Apart from Previous IFS Cloud Releases

Unlike its predecessors, IFS Cloud 25R1 places a strong emphasis on embedded AI and intelligent automation at scale. While earlier releases laid the foundation for digital transformation, 25R1 pushes the envelope with industry-specific AI models, intuitive user experiences, and highly adaptable forecasting tools. The release also introduces enhanced modularity and flexibility, allowing businesses to adopt AI functionalities with minimal disruption to their existing architecture. From the developer’s perspective, IFS has fine-tuned backend services for faster execution, improved load balancing, and smoother integration across cloud-native components; making it one of the most robust and future-ready versions yet.

Driving Sustainability Through Technology

IFS Cloud 25R1 deepens its commitment to sustainability by design, helping organizations track, measure, and reduce their environmental footprint. The newly introduced Emissions Tracker is aligned with GHG Protocol and CSRD regulations, providing out-of-the-box capabilities to report Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. Businesses can now automate compliance and integrate sustainability metrics directly into core workflows. For industries with high environmental impact—such as energy, construction, and manufacturing—this functionality is more than compliance; it’s a competitive advantage. According to WIA’s business analysts, this built-in sustainability focus aligns perfectly with companies’ growing ESG goals, making 25R1 a timely and strategic upgrade.
