Reported result
IFS's 27 November 2025 release quoted Kodiak's CIO on a conditional scenario: $3 million annual ROI and 90,000 hours returned if half the workforce engaged with the agent daily. In its 23 April 2026 release, IFS later described the same figures as the result after Kodiak rolled out the agent, without disclosing a measurement period or method. The latter remains vendor-reported and independently unverified.
What this does not establish
The April 2026 result is vendor-reported; no measurement method, baseline, timeframe or independent customer validation is provided. The 2025 release gives the same numbers as a conditional scenario and does not date the rollout. Warehouse count, nearby-stock search, data-system integration details, adoption rates and control boundaries are not disclosed in the linked sources.
Analyst inference: IFS reports a live customer workflow for conversational parts finding and ordering. Its 2026 release presents ROI and time returned as post-rollout results, but absent methodology these remain vendor-attributed rather than independently verified outcomes.
