Integrated field service and scheduling excellence with IFS FSM + IFS PSO

In today’s always-on world, customers expect fast, reliable, and personalised service - every time. But for companies managing complex field operations, delivering on those expectations isn’t always easy.

That’s where Platned comes in. As an IFS Gold Services Partner, we bring together IFS Field Service Management (FSM) and IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimisation (PSO) to help your teams work smarter, respond faster, and exceed customer expectations - while keeping costs down.

What is IFS FSM?

IFS FSM is a complete, cloud-ready field service platform built to handle the full service lifecycle - from managing work orders and parts, to tracking technician performance, contracts, warranties, and customer satisfaction.

It brings everything together in one place so you can

Manage assets and resources in real time

Enable mobile-first, paperless workflows

Deliver a seamless customer experience from start to finish

Streamline dispatch and technician scheduling

Improve visibility into costs, SLAs, and performance

Whether you manage repairs, installations, maintenance or inspections, IFS FSM adapts to your processes - not the other way around.

What is IFS PSO?

IFS PSO adds intelligence and automation to your scheduling. It uses AI-powered algorithms to analyse technician availability, skills, travel routes, job priorities and service levels - then automatically produces optimised schedules that reduce waste and increase efficiency.

PSO works behind the scenes to:

Maximise productivity with minimal manual input

Cut travel time and carbon emissions

Support real-time re-optimisation for emergency jobs

Predict delays and mitigate risks before they affect customers

Help you deliver on time, every time—even at scale

From 10 technicians to 10,000, IFS PSO can optimise it all.

Better together: a single powerful service platform. FSM and PSO are strong on their own - but together, they're transformative.

By combining FSM and PSO, you get an integrated, AI-driven platform for dynamic field service delivery. That means:

1. Faster response times

intelligent scheduling ensures the right person gets to the right job at the right time

2. Higher first-time fix rates

mobile tools, full visibility, and intelligent parts planning all work in sync

3. Lower operational costs

fewer truck rolls, better resource utilisation, and less downtime

4. Happier customers

accurate appointment times, faster issue resolution, and proactive communication

5. Scalability and resilience

adapt to demand, disruptions, or expansion without breaking your workflows

And because it’s built on IFS Cloud™, you gain all the benefits of an evergreen platform - regular updates, secure infrastructure, and seamless integration with ERP, CRM, and other business systems.

Great service isn't just about response time - it's about the right resource, in the right place, at the right moment. That's what FSM and PSO deliver together.
