IFS has completed its acquisition of Softeon, launching IFS Softeon as a unified supply chain platform integrating Industrial AI with advanced warehouse management systems. Announced on March 2, 2026, the deal combines IFS’s IFS Cloud platform—managing $2.4 trillion in critical assets—with Softeon’s 20+ years of tier-1 warehouse management software expertise, including warehouse execution and distributed order management.
Softeon, recognized as a Gartner Visionary in the May 2025 Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems, supports operations for customers such as Brooks, Casey’s, Denso, Sears Home Services, Sony, and UPS. The combined entity processes millions of orders monthly across 30 countries, addressing gaps in disconnected ERP and WMS systems that create operational blind spots.
IFS Softeon embeds Industrial AI for robotics orchestration, predictive inventory intelligence, and enhanced coordination between planning and execution. Mark Moffat, CEO 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, CEO of IFS Softeon, added: “Joining IFS is the natural next step in Softeon’s journey. Our customers chose us because we deliver. Now, 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.”
The platform targets manufacturing, logistics, and retail sectors, providing unified visibility from boardroom strategy to warehouse floor operations.
