Flynn Builds Digital Foundation for Next Phase of North American Growth with IFS Cloud

IFS.ai-powered platform will streamline Flynn's complex manufacturing, construction and service operations, enabling its near-term Industrial AI and automation strategy 

ITASCA, Ill., September 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- IFS, the leading provider of Industrial AI software, today announced that Flynn Group of Companies, North America's leading building envelope contractor, has selected IFS Cloud to support the next phase of its growth. The investment will support more than 6,000 employees across Canada and the United States while strengthening the operational consistency, data quality and governance needed to advance Flynn's AI and automation ambitions.

From roofing and waterproofing to architectural metals, glazing and building services, Flynn operates one of North America's largest and most diverse building envelope businesses. As the company continues to grow, it sought a platform capable of supporting the distinct requirements of its construction, manufacturing, and service operations while creating greater alignment across the organization.

Following a comprehensive evaluation, Flynn selected IFS Cloud for the breadth of its industry-specific capabilities on a single platform. Powered by Industrial AI, IFS Cloud will provide a shared operational backbone across Flynn's business, bringing data, processes and decision-making into a more connected environment. The deployment will include CRM and enterprise asset management (EAM), creating a more complete view of customers, assets, and operations. Flynn also plans to leverage IFS Loops agentic digital workers to automate accounts payable through intelligent document processing and workflow automation, providing an early opportunity to apply automation in a practical, high-impact area.

"What differentiated IFS was its ability to support the scope of our business," said Alan Zych, Vice President, Information Technology, Flynn Group of Companies. "Few organizations operate across construction, manufacturing and service in the way Flynn does.  We needed a platform that could create a more unified way of working across those teams while delivering meaningful value throughout the organization. Better data quality, more consistent processes and less friction for our employees will allow us to continue growing without adding unnecessary complexity."

"Flynn's opportunity is specific: scale a business spanning construction, manufacturing and service without allowing operational complexity to slow it down," said Matt Breslin, President, IFS Americas. "By connecting the data and processes behind that work, Flynn can embed Industrial AI where it will have practical impact, from reducing manual effort to improving how decisions are made across the organization. Its planned use of IFS Loops in accounts payable shows how a trusted operational foundation can turn AI strategy into action."

The investment reflects a growing trend among industrial organizations to strengthen the operational foundations needed to scale, improve decision-making, and apply AI in ways that deliver measurable business value.
