IFS for MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul)
When it comes to maintaining high-value, mission-critical assets like aircraft engines, rail systems, or defense equipment, organizations face a complex challenge. They may not be in the business of maintaining these assets themselves, but uptime, compliance, and reliability remain non-negotiable. That’s where Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers step in—and where IFS Cloud proves why it’s the leader in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM).
For the fourth consecutive year, Gartner has ranked IFS #1 in Enterprise Asset Management, and a major reason behind this distinction is its unmatched support for MRO operations.
The Challenge for MRO Providers
MRO providers serve clients whose assets must perform reliably under pressure but who lack the internal capacity or expertise to maintain them. These providers are entrusted with highly regulated, precision-based services where speed, traceability, and accuracy are paramount. But to meet those demands, they need more than just technical know-how. They need a digital backbone that can support every aspect of the business.
That’s exactly what IFS Cloud for MRO delivers.

With the scale and complexity of naval operations, the Navy required a solution that could handle high volumes, strict regulations, and evolving mission requirements. IFS delivered.
