IFS Softeon unites Industrial AI with best‑in‑class warehouse management to deliver unified supply chain excellence from the boardroom to the warehouse floor
IFS, the global leader in Industrial AI software, today announced the completion of its acquisition of Softeon, establishing a new category of integrated supply chain technology. Now operating as IFS Softeon, the combined entity brings together IFS’s advanced Industrial AI capabilities with Softeon’s two decades of tier‑1 Warehouse Management System (WMS) leadership.
The launch of IFS Softeon addresses one of the most persistent challenges in global supply chains: disconnected ERP and WMS environments that create costly operational blind spots. By unifying strategic planning and warehouse execution into a single Industrial AI‑powered platform, IFS Softeon delivers end‑to‑end visibility and control, from enterprise decision‑making to real‑time warehouse operations.
“Industrial AI combined with world‑class warehouse execution creates a new benchmark for unified supply chain intelligence.” – Mark Moffat, CEO, IFS.
IFS Softeon integrates IFS’s industry‑proven IFS Cloud platform which manages $2.4 trillion in critical assets worldwide with Softeon’s Gartner‑recognized WMS and decades of expertise supporting major brands including Brooks, Casey’s, Denso, Sears Home Services, Sony, and UPS. Together, the combined platform is already processing millions of monthly orders and supporting warehouse operations across more than 30 countries.
“The introduction of IFS Softeon gives enterprises something genuinely new: true end‑to‑end supply chain intelligence,” said Mark Moffat, CEO, IFS. “It’s where Industrial AI meets limitless warehouse execution unlocking what’s possible for customers navigating complex, rapidly evolving supply chains.”
Jim Hoefflin, CEO of IFS Softeon, added: “Joining IFS is the natural evolution of Softeon’s mission. With IFS’s Industrial AI platform and global scale, we can accelerate AI‑driven warehouse orchestration, robotics interoperability, and predictive inventory intelligence.”
The combined company will drive accelerated innovation across warehouse automation, inventory optimization, and supply chain resilience. Existing Softeon customers will see continued investment with no disruption, while IFS customers gain access to a best‑in‑class WMS giving new prospects a single vendor for unified supply chain intelligence.
