Private AI for the way your organization runs
IAS is a connected suite of AI products: one Dashboard at the center, specialized products around it, all running on your own hardware with no per-question charges and no data leaving your control.
AI without compromise
That’s IAS.
One suite. One hub. Every question.
Each IAS product answers one operational question and owns its own work. Everything reports into Dashboard, so one place shows the whole operation.
Dashboard brings every connected product into one view and is the first place anyone looks.
AI products that explain, answer and preserve, built on your own records, documents and people.
The systems that hold the work: assets, parts, contractors, dispatch and the office itself.
Start with the products you need; each one gets better connected. All of it runs on your hardware, behind your firewall.
Answers you can trust
A confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. The Ask boxes in Dashboard, Downtime Intelligence and Knowledge Preservation confirm what you asked before they answer. When it isn’t sure, it asks instead of guessing.

The IAS suite
Dashboard brings every connected product into one view and is the first place anyone looks.
IAS Dashboard
The central brain of the IAS suite.
One view across operations, maintenance, downtime, assets, inventory, procurement, safety, finance, engineering and knowledge, with an AI you can ask in plain English.
AI products that explain, answer and preserve, built on your own records, documents and people.
IAS Downtime Intelligence Engine
The AI layer over your asset and maintenance data.
Downtime Intelligence sits on top of IAS Asset Management, or the maintenance system you already use, and turns years of downtime and work records into clear reliability answers with the evidence behind them.
IAS Knowledge Preservation
Capture expertise before it walks out the door.
Structured interview campaigns turn what experienced people know into approved, searchable knowledge that anyone can ask about.
IAS Troubleshooter
Your manuals, answering back.
Ask about a fault or symptom and get answers from your own manuals and site documents, with the source cited, fully offline.
The systems that hold the work: assets, parts, contractors, dispatch and the office itself.
IAS Asset Management
The complete record behind every asset.
Equipment, work orders, preventive maintenance, components, documents and history in one record, plus inspection, compliance and quality findings tied to the equipment they belong to.
IAS Inventory
Know what’s on the shelf before the job starts.
Stock on hand by location and bin, every movement recorded, connected to the work that uses it.
IAS Contractor
Can this company and this person do this work, here, right now?
Company and worker qualifications, documents and expirations, checked against your own rules, with an instant answer and the reason behind it.
IAS Dispatch
The right person, the right equipment, the right job.
A live dispatch board that recommends who can go, explains who can’t and why, and tracks every job from request to complete.
IAS OMS: Office Management System
The private office system IAS runs on.
Documents, filing, email, meetings, approvals, support, sales and reporting in one private workspace on your own server. It’s the system IAS uses every day, set up for your company.
Why companies choose IAS
IAS runs on your hardware, inside your network. IAS doesn’t host your data, and nothing leaves unless you turn it on.
No token or usage billing. Your team can ask as many questions as it needs.
The AI runs on your own hardware, not on a provider’s cloud.
Your manuals, records and conversations are never sent to a public AI service.
Answers are confirmed before they’re given. When it isn’t sure, it asks.
Roles in every product, full audit trails, signed releases and verified AI models.
Downtime Intelligence sits on top of your existing maintenance system, spreadsheets or database, with read-only connections by default.
AI explains and recommends. People review, approve and decide, and nothing approves itself.
Local AI compared with cloud-first AI
General cloud AI has its place. IAS is for organizations where predictable cost, private data and trustworthy answers matter more.
| Consideration | Typical cloud-first AI | IAS |
|---|---|---|
| Billing | Usage or token charges that grow with adoption | No token or per-question charges |
| Where the AI runs | On the provider’s cloud | On your own hardware |
| Your data | Sent to an outside service | Stays on your hardware and network |
| Context | General-purpose, knows nothing about your operation | Your manuals, records, assets, people and rules |
| Accuracy | Can answer confidently when it’s wrong | Checks itself; asks when unsure; numbers from your records |
| Evidence | Depends on the service | Sources, review history and audit trail |
Implementation, hardware, integration and support are defined in each customer agreement. Third-party charges apply only if a customer chooses an outside service that carries them.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
IAS isn’t trying to replace general AI. It solves the operational problems general AI was never built to solve.
Ways to run IAS
Both run on hardware you control, with no per-question charges. IAS will help you choose what fits.
