FAQs – Platned and IFS Mobile Work Order
How does IFS MWO support offline work?
IFS Mobile Work Order is designed to keep technicians productive even without internet access. Whether they’re in remote, rural, or underground locations, the app allows them to view and update work orders without interruption. All changes made offline are stored securely on the device and then synced back to the system automatically once connectivity is restored.
What type of support does IFS MWO provide for technicians?
IFS Mobile Work Order equips field staff with step-by-step workflows, detailed asset records, safety guidelines, and parts availability. By giving technicians, the right information at the right time, the app makes service delivery more efficient, improves first-time fix rates, and ensures jobs are completed correctly the first time.
What is remote assistance and how does it work?
Remote assistance is a feature that lets specialists support field technicians through live video. Using the technician’s device camera, experts can see exactly what’s happening on-site, add on-screen annotations, and walk the technician through the repair process in real time. This improves accuracy, speeds up problem resolution, and helps avoid unnecessary repeat visits.
Does the app connect with IFS Cloud?
Yes. IFS Mobile Work Order integrates directly with IFS Cloud, sending updates like job status, time tracking, parts consumption, and customer approvals straight into the system. This eliminates duplicate data entry, keeps records accurate, and ensures your back office stays in sync with field activity in real time.
Which devices and operating systems support IFS MWO?
IFS Mobile Work Order is compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows devices. Administration is handled through IFS Aurena Native, allowing you to centrally manage user permissions, push notifications, and app settings for a smooth and secure rollout.

Can the system be tailored to our business rules?

This is especially effective for organizations using IFS Planning and Scheduling Optimization (PSO), ensuring the mobile solution fits seamlessly into your service processes.
What support does Platned provide after go-live?
After deployment, Platned delivers continuous support to ensure peak performance. This includes regular performance reviews, insights from dashboards, and process optimizations.
