Why Manufacturers Choose Infor CloudSuite Industrial ERP
By Chris Stock, Managing Director at Inforlogic
Having celebrated more than a decade of working with Infor, I still find it surprising how few people fully understand the scale of the organisation or the strength of its product portfolio.
Infor is a global enterprise software provider with more than 17,000 employees and over 60,000 customers across 175 countries. At Inforlogic, we work closely with Infor to implement and support Infor SyteLine, a powerful ERP platform designed specifically for manufacturers.
Unlike many ERP vendors that try to serve every industry, Infor focuses on industry-specific solutions. Its software is built for the sectors it serves, with functionality designed around real operational requirements rather than generic processes.
As a result, businesses benefit from capabilities that are built in, not bolted on, right down to specialised micro-vertical industries.
Supporting Future Growth with Infor CloudSuite Industrial
Recognised by Gartner as a leader in industry-specific cloud solutions for the mid-market, Infor CloudSuite Industrial ERP enables manufacturers to manage their entire organisation more effectively.
The platform provides end-to-end visibility across the business, connecting operations from the shop floor to the boardroom. Because much of the industry functionality is already embedded within the system, organisations spend less time bridging software gaps and more time focusing on innovation, efficiency and growth.
One of our first Infor customers was moulding specialists Denroy, which implemented Infor CloudSuite Industrial to support expansion and improve operational planning.
Denroy now uses the platform to consolidate business growth across the group while enhancing planning, service delivery and quality control.
Kevin McNamee, CEO of Denroy, explains:
Our aerospace business is complex, with projects spanning the entire lifecycle from design through to manufacture. In the wake of increased demand and rising complexity, we needed an ERP system capable of supporting both our current and future requirements. The depth of functionality and the level of information sharing provided by Infor CloudSuite Industrial allows us to maintain the highest operational standards while capitalising on new opportunities to support our growth strategy. We have also been extremely impressed with Inforlogic’s partnership approach. They understood our business from the very beginning and delivered a solution designed around both our current processes and our expansion plans.
Why Should Infor Make Your ERP Shortlist?
When manufacturers begin evaluating ERP platforms, several factors typically influence their decision. Infor stands out in a number of important areas.
1. Industry-Specific ERP Functionality
Infor focuses on delivering ERP solutions tailored to specific industries’ needs.
Because processes, workflows and data models are designed around sector-specific requirements, businesses benefit from functionality that aligns closely with their operational needs. This approach leads to faster ERP implementation, improved adoption and better long-term results compared with generic ERP platforms.
2. Modern, User-Friendly Interface
Infor continues to invest heavily in improving the user experience of its applications.
The modern interface simplifies navigation and improves usability, enabling employees to access the information they need quickly and efficiently. As a result, organisations often see faster user adoption and reduced training requirements.
3. Flexibility and Scalability
Infor SyteLine ERP is designed to grow alongside your business.
Its flexible architecture allows organisations to adapt workflows, processes and reporting without extensive redevelopment. This scalability makes the platform particularly attractive to growing manufacturers and private equity portfolio companies looking to standardise operations while retaining agility.
4. Lower Upfront Costs with Cloud ERP
As a cloud-based ERP solution, SyteLine significantly reduces the need for large upfront infrastructure investments. Cloud deployment offers additional benefits, including improved security, faster scalability, automatic updates, and access to new innovations.
Ultimately, this allows organisations to remain agile while reducing IT complexity and cost.
5. Industry-Leading Innovation
Infor is recognised for its continued investment in innovation. The platform incorporates technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, predictive analytics, and robotic process automation (RPA).
These capabilities enable businesses to automate processes, gain deeper operational insight and remain competitive in rapidly evolving markets.
6. A Powerful Ecosystem of Edge Solutions
Infor also enhances its ERP capabilities through a range of complementary applications. These include solutions for:
- Warehouse Management
- Supply Chain Planning
- Human Capital Management
- Product Lifecycle Management
- Manufacturing Execution
- Global Logistics
- Advanced Analytics
These applications integrate seamlessly with SyteLine but can also operate alongside other ERP platforms where required.
