IFS Enterprise Service Management
IFS Enterprise Service Management brings internal service requests and support functions together across IT and business departments.
What IFS Enterprise Service Management is
IFS Enterprise Service Management brings internal service requests and support functions together across IT and business departments. It extends service management to areas such as HR, Facilities, and Finance, with workflows that automate repetitive tasks and approvals. Employees have a self-service portal and knowledge base, while service catalogs and case management help organize requests and team handoffs. Real-time analytics and dashboards show service performance, and no-code configuration supports adapting the system across business functions. The product includes asset management, finance, inventory, order management, manufacturing tools, invoicing and payments, multi-entity support, offline mode, route optimization, and recurring jobs. IFS lists integrations with IFS Cloud EAM for asset data, ERP for finance and HR, and FSM for field service. Deployment options include IFS Cloud, on-premise hosting, or a customer’s own cloud environment. IFS says its cloud service uses Microsoft Azure, single-tenant environments, and encryption at rest and in transit. It runs on Android, iOS, web, and Windows. Pricing is on request.
