Connected worker platform
IFS Connected Worker Platform gives workers on the shop floor and at sites step-by-step digital instructions, checklists and a link to experts. Complex tasks come with augmented reality (AR) guidance. It is for places where a frontline mistake is costly and experienced specialists are scarce.
What the module does
Step-by-step AR instructions
Instructions show each step overlaid on the real equipment. A new employee can follow a complex task step by step.
Remote expert
A worker on site brings in a specialist over video. The expert sees what the worker sees and guides them without travelling.
Hands-free work
Instructions are available on wearables and smart glasses. Hands stay free for the job.
Digital checklists
Rounds, inspections and forms are filled in on a tablet instead of paper. Results go straight into the system.
Knowledge base
Senior specialists' know-how is captured in instructions everyone can use. Knowledge stays when people leave.
Safety and incidents
Mandatory safety checks are built into the job sequence. Incidents are reported from the spot, with photos and a description.
- Operators, technicians and site inspectors
- Plants with complex operating procedures
- Companies with remote sites and few experts
- Safety and quality teams
- New employees start working on their own sooner.
- Experts support several sites without leaving the office.
- Tasks are done the same way, to the approved procedure.
- Paper logs and forms are replaced by data in the system.

How long does an IFS Cloud rollout take?
The first phase usually takes 3 to 9 months, depending on the number of modules, sites and users and on how ready the data is. We give an exact plan after the diagnostic stage.
What does it cost?
The cost is the IFS Cloud subscription plus implementation work. The subscription depends on users and modules; the work depends on configuration, integrations and data migration. After the diagnostic stage we give an estimate and a five-year cost of ownership.
Can we keep 1C?
Yes. Often 1C stays for statutory accounting and tax reporting while IFS runs procurement, inventory, production, maintenance and management accounting. The two systems are integrated so nothing is entered twice.
Cloud or our own servers?
IFS Cloud can run in the cloud or on the company’s own servers. The choice depends on data-residency requirements, IT policy and budget. We compare the options at the design stage.
Do we have to roll out every module at once?
No. Most companies start with finance, procurement and inventory, or with asset management, and add other modules in later phases. It is one platform, so new modules work with the data already in it.
What happens after go-live?
In the first weeks after go-live we stay close to users and fix whatever gets in their way. After that comes support under a contract with clear response times, IFS updates and changes for new needs.
