Poka Inc.

Poka Inc. is a connected-worker software company founded in 2014 in Quebec City, Canada. It was built to capture the know-how of experienced factory operators and make it accessible to the rest of the workforce; the company was acquired by enterprise software group IFS in 2023 but continues to operate under the Poka brand with its original product line.

The platform delivers digital work instructions, training content and daily-management huddle boards directly to operators on the shop floor, alongside issue-tracking and skills-management modules; industrial AI features now summarize documents and answer operator questions. Poka is deployed at more than 3,000 sites across 70-plus countries for manufacturers such as Coca-Cola, Bosch, Danone and Tetra Pak.

4. Issue tracking: operators log problems that route to the right team for resolution.
