Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) is used for order tracking, parts/inventory tracking, personnel pay rates in relation to job cost, and all accounting for the company.

Pros

Logging work data per job order
Generating reports by job order or department and company

Cons

Trying to locate forms that you haven't used before is not very user friendly
overall view and navigation is very old style and could use an update
Reports are built in and not very customizable, could also use an easy report reference guide.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using M3, Ming.le, and Document Management.
It serves as our main ERP, and we use it for everything. Almost all things go through M3 at ESAB Europe. Orders, bookkeeping, claims (well, in this term, halfly), accounts payable and receivable & cash collection all happen through this.
Plus, in Europe, we need to connect everything - or customise them to be able to get connected - to this.

Pros

Order handling
Cash collection
Basic bookkeeping

Cons

Connectibility to other systems
Exception handling
AP & invoice management
Advanced bookkeeping needs
Task management
Workflow management

Return on Investment

we have a much better inventory tracking therefore able to meet the requirements coming fmor o2c
order handling is smoother since we have almost visual control over it
the different GAAPs can be included - like US. and locals (great for statutory reporting)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cloudsuite ERP for warehouse and distribution, production planning and inventory, supply chain and logistics, sales and financials. specifically to ensure full traceability from raw materials to final product, improve production planning to reduce waste and forecast demand more accurately to optimize inventory.

Our business problems include but not restricted to:
1) Lot level tracking from farm to bottle
2) Country of origin tracking
3) Blend management
4) Cost model of average cost and standard cost used simultaneously.

Pros

Inventory management. We have seen a 30% reduction in scrap as compared to our previous ERP
Production efficiency. The use of virtual tanks and backflushing have enabled us to move to 24x7 operations without the need to stop and audit every variance.
3rd party integration. We rely heavily on 3rd party systems for EDI, banking, TMS, and TPM. Without the capability to integrate with a cloud instance we would be spending an inordinate amount of time facilitating the move met of data to a integration platform to facilitate the data transfer.

Cons

Integrated Business Planning. Specifically demand planning as it relates to forecasting using a TPM solution.
Reporting and Analytics. The Birst product included in the platform and the prepopulated dashboards are nowhere near sufficient to provide robust business reporting. Integration with Power BI or other analytical solutions avoids having to build an external data warehouse to mine relevant insights.
Named user license management. There is currently no dashboard or controlling mechanism to monitor license utilization versus subscription. We have been through 2 audits for license utilization and both revealed a deficit that we could have avoided had we had visibility to the license utilization.

Return on Investment

Accuracy: 30% reduction in inventory scrap adjustments
Scalability: Adapts easily as the business grows without heavy reinvestment. We went from 20x4 to 24x7 production with no incremental subscription cost.
Analytics: We had to reinvest in a data warehouse to provide meaningful reporting and insight.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are implemented Cloud Suite Industrial Enterprise (LN) as a global hub for all of our business systems. We are nearing completion in multiple sites across North America and will be turning our sights to EMEA and APAC. A key differentiator for us was being able to leverage the Cloud Suite ecosystem, so it is more than just ERP. We are also leveraging Factory Track, Supplier Exchange, Rhythm eCommerce, the integrated document management and now the Infor MES platform. We expect to expand to even deeper functionality with WMS, CRM and the Velocity Suite to expand AI and automation in our Infor centric business systems hub.

Pros

Tailored for manufacturing companies
Multi-site, multi-company, multi-currency organizations
Streamlines and optimizes business processes
Tightly integrated to other Infor products reducing the need for integrations

Cons

Need to continue to improve and modernize the UI
Continue to expand the marketplace to leverage the developer community
Expand the service and warranty functionality (much customer variability here)

Return on Investment

Reduced period close processing by more than a day
Allowed the creation and adoption of shared services organization leading to improved performance and headcount allocations
Created more consistent business processes driving efficiency
Greatly improved security and reliability through cloud platform, granular security groups and SSO functionality
Improving customer experience through integrated customer and partner portals
