IFS has officially entered a new phase in enterprise automation and it’s one that will reshape how teams plan, execute, and manage operations across every functional department. With the release of IFS Cloud 25R1, the platform now includes a suite of IFS.ai Copilot capabilities, enabling users to interact conversationally with data, automate workflows, and eliminate repetitive manual tasks across CRM, Supply Chain, Finance, HCM, Projects, Manufacturing, Service, and Asset Management.

This release isn’t just an upgrade. It is the first real step toward hands-off ERP interaction, giving users the ability to ask questions in natural language, auto-generate content, and process documents automatically, without digging through layers of menus and forms.

At JumpModel, we believe this marks a turning point in the adoption of AI inside ERP environments. For the first time, IFS users are not just consuming information, they are collaborating with an intelligent system that can read, write, summarize, predict, and automate core business functions.


Why IFS.ai Copilot Matters

Traditional ERP workflows rely on structured navigation: form → entry → validation → save.
IFS.ai introduces a different model, contextual execution through conversation.

Instead of searching screens, users can:

  • Ask questions like “Show me late service calls”
  • Upload a PDF and let IFS auto extract data
  • Summarize documents instantly with one click
  • Generate job descriptions, SMART objectives, and knowledge articles automatically
  • Predict outcomes like payment delays or first time fix rates

This begins to remove friction from ERP usage, lowering the technical barrier for everyday users and increasing organizational output.


Copilot Across the Business: Where AI Now Lives Inside IFS Cloud

IFS.ai Copilot isn’t a single feature it’s a layer woven across the entire platform. Below is a breakdown of notable capabilities found in the 25R1 release.

1. CRM & Sales Intelligence

Sales teams gain automated contact entry, lead scoring, opportunity prediction, and a conversational Copilot that surfaces insights, prioritizes outreach, and summarizes customer records.

This means less admin more selling.


2. Finance Automation

Accounts Payable and Receivable workflows now include:

  • Payment delay prediction for cash-flow awareness
  • Supplier invoice automation & OCR data capture
  • Automatic recognition of extra charges not included in PO lines

Finance teams can spend time analyzing, not typing.


3. HR & People Operations

HCM now includes generative support for:

  • SMART objective generation
  • Job descriptions & spec summaries
  • Expense receipt scanning & auto-population
  • Qualification recommendations
  • Copilot for time management inquiries

HR moves from form-building to strategic enablement.


4. Supply Chain, Procurement & Order Processing

IFS.ai introduces one of the most impactful improvements to supply chain operations:

Upload → Extract → Validate → Create Order/Quote

Customer orders, supplier quotations, and inbound delivery notes can be automated directly from PDF uploads.

Add to that Copilot decision support for sales quotations, purchase orders, requisitions, and vendor performance — and an entire workflow becomes lighter, faster, cleaner.


5. Service & Field Management

Service organizations gain AI support to:

  • Identify late service calls
  • Surface technician availability issues
  • Summarize job details automatically
  • Predict first-time fix rates
  • Auto-generate knowledge articles after service visits

Service managers now have visibility without digging — Copilot brings answers forward.


6. Asset Management & Maintenance

IFS.ai can now extract maintenance insights from contractor PDFs and automatically generate work orders, reducing manual data collection dramatically.

Asset teams also gain access to Copilot assistance inside FMECA, Work Order Execution, and new 3D visualization mapping.


How This Changes the Future of ERP

ERP users historically spent most of their time navigating forms to find information.
The future of ERP is asking the system instead.

IFS.ai Copilot is an early manifestation of this reality — the evolution from:

Old WorkflowNew Workflow
Browse → Search → Filter → OpenAsk, retrieve instantly
Manual form entryAuto-extracted from documents
Long text readingSummarized with one click
Monitoring dashboardsSystem flags issues for you
Reactive decision-makingPredictive decision support

This is the beginning of a Formless ERP era — not fully autonomous yet, but clearly moving in that direction.


Why This Matters for IFS Customers
