LogicGap AI proves what's possible with working local prototypes, then builds your first bespoke IFS Cloud app alongside your own team — on your infrastructure, so you own it, not us.
One integration layer. Runs on whatever platform you put it on.
These are the tools we use to show what's achievable — real, working blueprints built directly against IFS Cloud's data model, not slideware. Your first app starts from whichever one is closest to your problem.
Shadow-mode multi-site visibility with AI-narrated action plans. See every site's shop order health in one view, and let the Advisor explain — in plain English — what's blocking output and what to do about it.
Automates Engineering Release Change Notice handoffs from your PLM system into IFS Cloud without data corruption — revision history, BOM structure, and routing stay intact end to end.
Every enquiry from your website, inbox or events becomes an IFS opportunity automatically, matched to the existing customer record — nobody re-keys it into the ERP.
The same blueprint isn't limited to dashboards. We build workbenches that run on tablets, kiosk terminals, handheld scanners — even bare ESP32 hardware — wired straight into the same IFS Cloud data your planners see.
A bare microcontroller with a touchscreen. No Windows PC, no browser — it talks to IFS Cloud directly.
IT directors don't want to hand another vendor their ERP data. We don't ask them to — every app runs on your own network, not ours.

conflict-checked writes onlyWe solve the unglamorous problems that generic integration tools skip — the ones that cause silent data loss six months after go-live.
Need to convince your CIO?A two-page security and architecture brief you can forward internally.
Request the security briefEach app runs on a small server on your own network and talks straight to your IFS system. No outside cloud service ever sees your data.
A lightweight Linux app server on your infrastructure connects directly to your on-prem or private-cloud IFS Cloud instance. No third-party cloud sits in between, and any AI model runs locally.
If someone updates a record while the app is working on it, the app spots the clash and asks before changing anything.
Every write is checked against the record's current ETag using If-Match, so a stale update is rejected instead of silently overwriting newer data.
PATCH …/ShopOrderHandling.svc/ShopOrds(OrderNo='51284',…) If-Match: W/"Vzo4Mzk1" 412 Precondition Failed // someone else changed it → re-read, show the planner the difference, ask again
When the app pulls thousands of orders across several sites, it fetches and counts every page of results, so the totals always add up.
Large multi-site OData queries are chunked and resumed using @odata.nextLink, then reconciled against expected counts, so nothing is dropped at deep-paging limits.
GET …/ShopOrds?$filter=Contract eq 'SITE-C'&$top=500 200 500 rows @odata.nextLink → $skip=500 200 500 rows @odata.nextLink → $skip=1000 200 212 rows // done: 1,212 of 1,212, per site, checked
The AI can suggest a fix, a reorder or an update, but it can't make the change itself. A planner reviews and approves every one.
The AI layer runs with read-only credentials. Write credentials live only in the approval service, so the restriction is built into the architecture rather than relying on a setting or a prompt.
A low-risk way in, not a multi-year IT project. Each stage is a fixed, standalone engagement — start wherever makes sense for you.
Priced on team size, number of weeks and how complex your first app is.
