Asset Investment Planning (IFS Copperleaf)

Gain full clarity on your capital strategy. IFS Copperleaf empowers your organisation to make value-based investment decisions backed by data. As your dedicated implementation partner, Arcwide connects this strategic foresight with your operational reality to maximise ROI across your asset lifecycle.

Optimise your investment strategy

Built for strategy. Powered by IFS Copperleaf.

The global standard for longterm Asset Investment Planning (AIP).

  • Value-based decisions

    Identify exactly which projects deliver the greatest return and align every pound with strategy. We help you implement the Copperleaf Value Framework to quantify strategic benefits—financial, ESG, and operational—on a single economic scale, ensuring every investment actively advances your corporate goals.

  • Risk & ESG management

    Quantify risk and deliver on Net-Zero. Take control of your long-term stability by visualising how different investment levels influence your risk profile over the next 10, 20, or 50 years. Arcwide configures the platform to model positive progress toward ESG targets, ensuring your plans are sustainable and compliant (e.g. ISO 55000).

  • Continuous planning agility

    Pivot smoothly when reality changes. Keep your plans dynamic and responsive; when priorities or budgets shift, use AI-driven optimisation to re-align your portfolio in minutes. Create robust "What-If" scenarios that demonstrate the clear value of your funding requests to regulators, investors, and key stakeholders.

Why IFS Copperleaf?

Bridging the gap between financial strategy and physical assets.

How does this complement our ERP?

IFS Copperleaf adds a strategic planning layer above your existing systems. While your ERP (like IFS Cloud) excellently manages the execution of work ("Doing things right"), IFS Copperleaf optimises the strategy of investment ("Doing the right things"). As your dedicated partner, we integrate Copperleaf to enhance your existing operational data with predictive foresight.

How does it support our industry regulations?

IFS Copperleaf is the gold standard for regulated industries (Utilities, Water, Transport, Energy) and is purpose-built for compliance with frameworks like CNAIM and ISO 55000. We configure the "Decision analytics" models to demonstrate exactly how your investment plans meet regulatory requirements, giving you a defensible basis for every stakeholder discussion.

What technology drives the decisions?

It uses advanced Decision analytics and AI to reveal the best path forward:

  • Predictive modelling: Forecast asset performance to determine the optimal timing for intervention.
  • Portfolio optimisation: Mathematically select the ideal combination of projects that fits your budget while delivering the highest strategic value.
  • Scenario planning: Easily compare different investment strategies (e.g. "Performance Target" vs. "Budget Constraint").
Can we integrate this with our finance systems?

Yes, connectivity is a core strength. Copperleaf acts as a bridge. We connect it to your Asset Register, GIS, and Financial systems to fuel models with real-time data. Once a portfolio is approved, we automate the creation of projects/budgets back into your ERP (IFS Cloud or others) for seamless execution.

Is it suitable for cloud deployment?

IFS Copperleaf is a powerful SaaS solution, ensuring you always benefit from the latest predictive models and security enhancements. It scales effortlessly from specific portfolios to enterprise-wide capital planning. Arcwide supports your deployment to ensure your asset investment data is accessible, secure, and ready to drive value.
