Resolve

Intelligence at the point of work

An account executive's guide to Resolve for field service.

This version: field service
What does a field service operation actually look like?
A field service business sends technicians to customer sites to install, maintain, and repair equipment. Think lift engineers, heating technicians, facilities management teams, telecoms engineers, medical device specialists. The business runs on work orders dispatched from a central system, and success is measured by first-time fix rate, mean time to repair, contract compliance, and revenue captured per visit.
The operational challenge is that the technician is alone at the point of work, often with poor connectivity, unfamiliar equipment, and no easy way to access the right information at the right moment. That is the problem Resolve solves.
A technician arrives at a call-out. Unfamiliar equipment. A 200-page contract on a phone screen nobody will read. They make their best guess, order the wrong part, and book a return visit. Multiply that by a thousand call-outs a week.
The solution
Resolve is an artificial intelligence powered field execution application that sits on a technician's phone at the point of work. It captures what the veteran knows, makes it available to every engineer, and turns every completed job into intelligence that makes the next one better.
Available on mobile, in the browser, or as an app. Works alongside whatever systems the customer already uses — Salesforce, Sage, SAP, IFS, Microsoft Dynamics, and others. Production-ready in weeks.
Resolve is available to both new and existing IFS customers. IFS Cloud is not a dependency. Resolve also works with IFS Applications 10 customers.
Note: this version focuses on field service. Resolve also works for maintenance and reliability tasks at plants and fixed sites — for example, manufacturers like William Grant & Sons use Resolve for distillery operations.

What Resolve does at the point of work
01
Asset identification
Asset identified. Full history loaded. In seconds.
Artificial intelligence identifies equipment through a phone camera. Extracts serial numbers, model details, and full maintenance history. Stores information for offline access. Anything captured offline syncs when back online.
02
Site safety and compliance
Safety flagged. Compliance captured. Automatically.
Digital risk assessment with hazard identification, severity scoring, and personal protective equipment validation. Issues are always flagged to the technician.
03
Artificial intelligence diagnosis and guided repair
Two years on the job. Twenty years of expertise.
Multimodal artificial intelligence diagnoses faults through images, video, voice, vibration, thermal, and sensor data. Guides the repair step by step. With every job completed, the application gets smarter.
04
Inventory and parts intelligence
Right part. First time. No wasted trips.
Maps the fault to the correct part, checks spares in or out of stock across all relevant locations. 95%+ accuracy within one month per van.
05
Contract and customer intelligence
Every entitlement surfaced. Every visit informed.
Reads contracts, extracts pre-authorised entitlements, and surfaces them to the technician at the point of service. Previous visit notes and customer context are loaded automatically, so every technician arrives informed.
06
Predictive maintenance
Fix it before it breaks.
Flags emerging failures 48–72 hours ahead. Work orders generated automatically when parts, people, and windows align.
In production. Delivering results.

William Grant & Sons
Global spirits manufacturer. Girvan distillery.
Resolve deployed for maintenance and reliability operations. Operators adopted it on weekends without being asked. The application correctly identified water addition settings as the root cause of a fault rather than a mechanical failure. Proves Resolve's value in asset-intensive operations — the same intelligence layer now applied to field service.

Eight Group Service Partners
Facilities management. Field service deployment.
Resolve's first dedicated field service deployment. Technicians across lift maintenance, building services, and critical environment operations. Three capabilities going live: asset identification, knowledge upskilling and first-time fix improvement, and contract term extraction. A direct comparison for field service prospects.
Artificial intelligence that works in a plant, not just a demo
Our models are trained on real maintenance logs, fault histories, and equipment manuals — not generic data. We have shipped production systems to distillery floors and facilities management teams. Every model is built for the physical world, where the answer has to be right first time.
Deep industry expertise
IFS is the number one vendor for field service management and enterprise asset management. 7,000+ employees, operating across 80+ countries. Decades of operational knowledge baked into every model.
Built with customers
On distillery floors with William Grant & Sons. With facilities management engineers at Eight Group. On construction sites with Berkeley. Every capability exists because a frontline worker needed it.
Four verticals where Resolve lands fastest.
Each one comes with the question to open the conversation.
Facilities Management
Mixed and transferred-in workforces with inconsistent quality. High-volume reactive maintenance across thousands of properties.
1,000–70,000 technicians. Contract-driven. Margin sensitivity extreme.
Example prospects
BGIS, Wates, Rentokil, Homeserve, Mitie
Ask
"What does a 5-point improvement in first-time fix rate mean for your margin on fixed-price contracts?"
Energy & Utilities
Asset-heavy, regulated. Ageing grid and plant infrastructure driving maintenance backlogs. Hazardous conditions require offline capability and guided safety procedures.
Compliance penalties can exceed £1M. High excess inventory levels common.
Example prospects
Exelon, EDF, SoCalGas, TotalEnergies, Allander
Ask
"How do your technicians capture fault data in hazardous environments where they can't type or remove protective equipment?"
Manufacturing
Shifting from selling equipment to selling uptime. Technicians need to diagnose across hundreds of product variants in the field.
Knowledge of specific models is critical and hard to train.
Example prospects
Otis, Jungheinrich, Miele, Electrolux, Konica Minolta
Ask
"How many product variants do your technicians need to diagnose in the field, and how long does it take a new hire to learn them?"
Property & Construction
Razor-thin margins. Compliance-driven. AI impact on profitability is existential, not incremental. Gateway reviews causing 24–31 week delays.
Portfolios of 100,000+ homes with reactive maintenance draining budgets.
Example prospects
Wates, Berkeley Group, Sureserve
Ask
"If an HSE inspector walked in tomorrow, could you show a completed risk assessment for every job last month?"

Every technician walks in with the knowledge of your best engineer. Every visit counts.
