Led by Richard Woods
Olive Wood is led by Richard Woods, an IFS consultant working across both functional and technical workstreams, from process design and configuration through to integrations and custom development.
Where Ask Olive came from
Ask Olive grew out of that same hands-on IFS Cloud work: a way to put practical, grounded answers in front of the people who need them, faster. It is an independent product of Olive Wood Group. IFS and IFS Cloud are trademarks of their respective owner; Olive Wood Group is not affiliated with IFS.
How we work with IFS
Human expertise, with AI as the assistant. A few rules we do not bend.
IFS APIs only
All code uses IFS APIs for data manipulation, never direct writes to base tables. It is the difference between a customisation that survives an upgrade and one that breaks it.
Solutions that stay supported and upgradeable.
AI output is reviewed by people
Anything drafted with Ask Olive, whether code, a flow, a test plan or a guide, is reviewed by an experienced IFS consultant before it is issued.
Speed without the accountability moving to a machine.
Evidence before assertion
Recommendations are tied to a requirement, a design decision, a test result or an entry in the knowledge base. If it cannot be checked, it is not claimed.
Decisions your steering group can audit later.
Your data is yours
Project data stays inside the project. Nothing you upload is used to train anything. Bank details are not copied into migration staging.
A consultancy and a product you can get approved.
