Benefits of Infor ERP for industrial manufacturing

/01

Purpose-built, industry-vertical functionality out of the box

Infor offers deep micro-vertical expertise tailored to the industrial equipment manufacturing sector. Preconfigured modules support engineer-to-order (ETO), configure-to-order (CTO), and make-to-stock (MTS) workflows with minimal customization, getting you live faster with processes that mirror how you work.

/02

Real-time visibility, analytics & industry 4.0 empowerment

Gain operational clarity with AI driven analytics, predictive insights, and live data across your production floor. Infor solutions support smart manufacturing through integration with IoT, machine learning, and analytics - empowering faster decisions, higher throughput, and proactive performance management.

/03

Scalable cloud architecture for global operations

Built on AWS and Infor OS, the solution offers seamless scalability, automatic upgrades, and global availability. Whether expanding product lines, adding sites, or experiencing usage spikes, you avoid costly infrastructure - shifting to predictable OPEX with consistent performance.

/04

Optimized supply chain, quality, & lifecycle management

Infor’s platform streamlines procurement, inventory, and PLM (optional) while ensuring quality and compliance via embedded inspection, traceability, and audit tools. This integrated approach boosts supply chain resilience, reduces lead times, and helps manage complex lifecycle requirements.

Industry proven processes, ready to go

Infor ERP includes vertical-specific processes crafted from years of collaboration with a global client base. Every feature has been refined through real-world customer feedback, giving you best-practice practical solutions.

Composable

Instead of being a rigid, one-size-fits-all system, Infor offers composable modules so you can add, remove, or extend capabilities as your business evolves.

Infor Marketplace

Find pre-built extensions, add-ons, and industry-specific modules from a growing ecosystem of partners which let you tailor to your unique processes without expensive customization.

Configured for ETO, MTO, MTS

Supports advanced scheduling (ETO, MTO, MTS) for variable-volume and configure-to-order environments

Make to Order

Deliver customer-specific configurations with real-time visibility from quoting to shipping. Promise accurate lead times and hit them, every time.

Make to stock

Optimise standard product lines with accurate forecasting, lean inventory control, and automated replenishment to eliminate excess stock and shortages.

Engineer to order

Link CAD files and engineering data directly to production and service workflows. Manage complex, custom equipment builds seamlessly from design through delivery and after-market service.

Outcome of using technology ERP software

Before Infor ERP

Long lead times, missed delivery dates, unable to pivot to service revenue models

Multiple disconnected systems causing delays and data inconsistencies

Poor visibility into costs, warranties, and profitability

Unplanned downtime, inefficient scheduling, poor equipment performance visibility

After Infor ERP

Faster quoting, reliable delivery, and new service-based revenue streams

Unified cloud platform with integrated engineering, production, supply chain, and service

Real-time job costing, lower inventory costs, and accurate profitability reporting

Predictive maintenance, optimised schedules, and maximised throughput

Integrations

Infor CloudSuite connects with many popular platforms, including CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, productivity tools like Microsoft 365 and Teams, and e-commerce systems such as Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.
Integrations use RESTful APIs and Infor’s own integration solution, Infor ION, to enable real-time data flows. Some of these integrations (e.g. Shopify via the e Commerce Connector for CloudSuite Distribution) are available out-of-the-box, while others - like Salesforce - typically require setup and configuration work using APIs or third-party tools.

Configure Price Quote CPQ

CPQ is a standalone design portal that can be used with most brands of ERP (it’s ERP agnostic) where you configure to manufacture. It has rules e.g. minimum thickness (based on your size of this, you’ll need that thickness). It creates a bill of materials at the back end, generating routings and drawings (“you’ll need cuts at these points”) to speed up accurate production.

Factory Tracking

Factory Track helps management of shop floor operations, tracking production activities, and optimising labour and materials usage in real time. It provides visibility from scheduling and production tracking to inventory and quality control. Modules include time and attendance, shop floor control, traceability, and warehouse mobility.

Velocity

Infor Velocity is a process optimization toolkit that helps organizations speed up the value they get from Infor CloudSuite. It uses process mining, robotic process automation (RPA), and AI-driven insights to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and compliance gaps, while benchmarking performance against best practices. Velocity gives quick visibility into where money and time are being lost and provides data-driven insights to prioritize improvements, reducing reliance on manual analysis and guesswork. With preconfigured templates and Infor Value+ automation assets, businesses can eliminate repetitive tasks, enhance efficiency, and achieve measurable outcomes faster.
