IFS has completed its acquisition of warehouse management technology provider Softeon, launching a combined business unit called IFS Softeon to deliver integrated supply chain and warehouse management solutions. The move combines IFS’s industrial AI capabilities and its IFS Cloud platform with Softeon’s years of experience in tier-one warehouse management software.
The companies aim to address a common challenge in enterprise operations where ERP and warehouse systems operate separately, creating operational gaps. The combined platform provides visibility across supply chain planning and warehouse execution while incorporating robotics orchestration, predictive analytics, and operational intelligence.
Mark Moffat, Chief Executive Officer of IFS, stated, “The introduction of IFS Softeon means every enterprise wrestling with the complexity of modern supply chains now has access to something genuinely new: end-to-end supply chain intelligence, from strategic decision-making to physical execution on the warehouse floor.” Jim Hoefflin, Chief Executive Officer of IFS Softeon, added, “backed by IFS’s Industrial AI platform and global reach, we can deliver even more – AI-driven warehouse orchestration, robotics interoperability, and predictive inventory intelligence.” IFS said existing Softeon customers will continue operating without disruption while gaining access to additional capabilities.
