IBM and Infor (Wholesale distribution)

For the wholesale industry, Infor offers a broad range of solutions, including:

Supply Chain Management
Infor SCM fuses demand, supply, and product so you can accurately forecast demand, take an order, give an accurate promise date, source and manufacture the right goods, position inventory properly, maintain a minimal finished goods inventory, and pick, pack, and ship efficiently.

Customer Relationship Management
Infor CRM (Epiphany) helps companies optimize their interactions with customers across multiple channels with inbound and outbound marketing, sales, service, and call center activity. Take a look at how Infor CRM solutions can help you leverage your most valuable asset – your customers.

Human Capital Management
Infor's Workbrain solutions provide Web-based workforce management for large enterprises. The solutions help organizations plan, deploy, and manage their workforce to reduce costs, increase sales, and boost employee satisfaction. Clients use the Workbrain solutions to integrate workforce planning, labor forecasting, workforce scheduling, time and attendance, and workforce analytics on a single platform.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Infor ERP applications are designed for manufacturers and distributors who are doing business globally—or want to. They address industry-specific production details and sourcing requirements, and they collect and organize data from every department within a multi-site, multi-currency, multi-language framework that meets overall global standards. ERP applications include ERP LX, ERP LN (Baan), XA, System 21, A+ and Syteline.

Financial Management
Infor FMS (Financial Management System) provides instant access to and control over finance and accounting information, helps companies manage even complex, multi-year, international projects profitably, and improves business results in real time by automating and reducing costs of key spend-related business processes.

In addition, the Infor System i Center of Excellence combines Infor's System i resources into a single community focused on enriching, extending and evolving customer solutions through new capabilities and innovations. One of the focal points of the Center of Excellence is an effort to provide new and state-of-the-art capabilities that can be used across Infor's System i solution portfolio. This is being accomplished through the Infor Development Framework for IBM System i, a common application design and development environment for Infor's System i solutions. It gives users the ability to create any number of intuitive role-based user interfaces and dynamic reports through simple configurations.
