Clevest Solutions

What Clevest Solutions does

Clevest Solutions, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Richmond Hill, Canada, provides software for mobile workforce management and smart grid deployment and post-deployment operations. The company operates with 51-100 employees and historically focused on utility-sector field operations, with the clevest.com domain now redirecting to IFS content — suggesting Clevest was acquired by or is operating under IFS, the Swedish enterprise software company founded in 1983. Under the IFS brand, the product portfolio centers on IFS Mobile Workforce Management (MWM), an AI-driven field service solution that optimizes scheduling, automates workflows, and provides technicians with mobile access to job and customer information.

The underlying technology is built on the IFS Cloud platform and incorporates AI-driven real-time scheduling, automated workflows, and an AI module called IFS Resolve that performs multimodal fault diagnosis — ingesting asset history, manuals, contracts, photos, and video to guide technicians through fixes, including in offline conditions. The broader portfolio extends into IFS Field Service Management, IFS Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), IFS Enterprise Service Management, and IFS Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), giving the company a platform-plus-modules architecture spanning field operations, asset lifecycle, and enterprise resource planning.

Clevest/IFS generates revenue primarily through enterprise SaaS subscriptions on the IFS Cloud platform, supplemented by professional services for implementation, consulting, and ongoing support via the IFS Success customer success program. The go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales (Book a demo / Contact us CTAs) with a global channel partner ecosystem. Target customers are enterprise organizations in energy/utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, aerospace and defense, construction, and transportation, with named logos including SoCalGas, TDC NET, and Anticimex. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with enterprise software contract structures.

Direct peers

• IFS: IFS is the parent platform into which Clevest's product line has been folded; IFS Cloud Field Service Management and IFS MWM are the closest functional equivalents and the same SKU family as Clevest's offering, making IFS the most directly comparable peer.
• Trimble Unity: Trimble's utility-focused asset and mobile workforce solutions (including Cityworks) serve the same utility and public-works field crews as Clevest/IFS MWM, with overlapping capabilities in work-order management, GIS-integrated dispatch, and field mobility.
• ServiceMax (PTC): ServiceMax, now part of PTC, is a purpose-built FSM platform focused on complex asset and field-service environments common in utilities, manufacturing, and aerospace; it directly overlaps with Clevest/IFS MWM's technician productivity and first-time-fix positioning.

Broad incumbents

• GE Vernova (GridOS / APM): GE Vernova's GridOS and asset performance management software target the same electric-utility operations and field-workforce planning workflows that Clevest/IFS MWM serves, with deep OT/IT integration on grid operations.
• ServiceNow Field Service Management: ServiceNow FSM targets enterprise utility, telco, and industrial customers with workforce scheduling, dispatch, and mobile execution; it is a platform-level incumbent that competes against IFS MWM for the same digital-transformation wallet share.
• Salesforce Field Service: Salesforce Field Service (built on ClickSoftware) is a broad enterprise FSM suite with deep utility and energy customer references; it competes head-on with Clevest/IFS MWM for utility field-workforce modernization deals but bundles into a much wider CRM platform.
• Oracle Field Service: Oracle Field Service (formerly TOA Technologies) is an enterprise routing and scheduling suite with strong utility and telco references; it competes with Clevest/IFS MWM on AI-driven scheduling while leveraging Oracle's broader CX and ERP footprint.

Emerging players

• ABB Ability Field Service: ABB Ability's industrial digital portfolio includes field workforce and asset-condition capabilities for utilities and grid customers, overlapping with Clevest/IFS MWM in dispatch and condition-aware service delivery from an industrial-OT perspective.
