IFS Ultimo

IFS Ultimo is a cloud-based enterprise asset management platform for industrial and asset-intensive organizations, combining maintenance management, asset records, spare-parts control, safety and operations processes, mobile field work, reporting, and lifecycle management.

1. Maintenance and mobile work: teams can manage corrective and preventive work orders, inspections, equipment histories, spare parts, planning, condition information, and maintenance activities. Ultimo GO provides browser-based mobile working, while the Ultimo GO+ iOS and Android app adds offline operation for technicians working where connectivity is limited.
2. Embedded maintenance AI: Ultimo’s purpose-built AI can improve failure reports, describe uploaded failure images, suggest completed activities, retrieve similar historical failures through vector search, draft work instructions, and convert unstructured instructions into structured inspection lines. Additional assistants can recommend corrective measures after HSE incidents and translate root-cause analysis findings into practical follow-up actions.
3. Operations, safety, and connectivity: Ultimo extends beyond maintenance into EHS incident management, work permits, management of change, shift handovers, and asset lifecycle records. Premium and Enterprise support broader integration with systems such as ERP and supply-chain applications, with documented integrations including SAP S/4HANA. The Configuration Tool allows organizations to adapt workflows, fields, and dashboards without building a heavily customized application from scratch.
4. Commercial considerations: Ultimo is sold as subscription-based SaaS with quote-based Professional, Premium, and Enterprise editions. Professional starts at five users with standard flexibility and DIY implementation; Premium starts at 10 users and adds greater configuration, integration, storage, implementation assistance, and support; Enterprise starts at 50 users with higher storage and 24/7 Platinum support. Embedded AI capabilities are separately presented through a request-for-quotation process.

IFS Ultimo is most relevant to organizations that want maintenance, operations, and safety processes in a configurable EAM system with mobile and embedded AI capabilities, while retaining the option to start with a more standardized deployment and expand as asset-management requirements mature.
