At a Glance: What Is IFS? Why It’s Built for Complex Industries

IFS Cloud is a modern enterprise software platform purpose-built for asset-intensive, service-driven organizations. Unlike traditional ERP systems that prioritize generic back-office functions, IFS focuses on industries with complex operations—such as government, defense, shipbuilding, and infrastructure. It offers fully integrated capabilities across asset management, field service, project execution, finance, and compliance—all in a modular, cloud-native architecture.

IFS is uniquely suited to public sector and regulated industries where agility, auditability, and operational resilience are non-negotiable. It enables organizations to adapt to shifting mandates, modernize legacy systems, and reduce downtime while maintaining full visibility across the asset lifecycle.

Public agencies and contractors choose IFS for its time-to-value, intuitive workflows, and secure deployment options. Oxalis—a trusted implementation partner with deep expertise in the public sector—helps organizations align IFS to their mission through strategic consulting, change enablement, and scalable deployment.

If you’re seeking an ERP solution that can flex with your needs, simplify compliance, and drive smarter service delivery, IFS Cloud—backed by Oxalis—delivers a future-ready foundation.

Public sector agencies don’t have the luxury of simple problems. Whether you’re managing infrastructure, defense systems, healthcare facilities, or municipal services, you’re operating in a high-stakes environment—one where compliance, asset performance, and real-time coordination matter.

That’s exactly where IFS shines.

IFS is a modern, cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform purpose-built for organizations with complex operations. Unlike traditional ERP solutions that treat all industries the same, IFS focuses on asset-intensive, service-centric environments—like government, defense, utilities, aerospace, and shipbuilding.

IFS at a Glance: A Platform That Aligns With Your Mission

IFS Cloud ERP

IFS offers a unified, modular platform with capabilities that span:

  • Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) – Track, maintain, and optimize asset performance across lifecycles.
  • Field Service Management (FSM) – Coordinate mobile teams, improve service delivery, and reduce downtime.
  • Project and Work Order Management – Gain visibility into costs, progress, and compliance from day one.
  • Cloud ERP and Finance – Streamline procurement, budgeting, and accounting with public-sector-specific workflows.
  • Built-in Compliance – Align with federal, state, and local requirements using secure, auditable, policy-aligned processes.

This isn’t just another ERP system—it’s a platform that speaks the language of public sector missions.

Why Legacy ERP Tools Can’t Keep Up

Many public sector organizations still rely on older, monolithic ERP platforms or patchworked systems that weren’t designed for today’s dynamic needs. These systems often struggle with:

  • Lack of agility when policy, leadership, or funding priorities shift
  • Audit challenges due to poor documentation or manual processes
  • Siloed data across departments or divisions
  • Slow implementation cycles that delay modernization

IFS eliminates these barriers with a cloud-first, modular approach that’s easier to deploy and manage. You can start with asset or service management—and scale at your pace.
