Infor Supply Chain Management Software

Great SCM software

SCM traceabilty for the organization from different departments.

Pros

gives visibilty of good manufactured from beginning to end. PO processing from beginning to end to invoicing customers.

Cons

Users require a lot of training. Incorrect data entries can flaw system to and makes it hard to trace. A lot of administrative data entry is required. There are lots of different layers of information that needs to be learned and it can be complicated. Setting the FG part IDs to require a lot of time and making changes does not capture revisions previously made to bill of materials which can impact tractability if someone or someone new wanted to know why a change was made.

Very deep experience including tons of features

Pros

Infor has thought of everything. Everything you can think of, they already have support for. In any situation where we needed a feature, it was either already included or in the works. An incredibly deep program.

Cons

At times, the program can be too deep. It is difficult to learn and nearly impossible to master. Not always a bad thing, but there is a rather large learning curve.

The best 3PL WMS application

Pros

The receipts export and import without addtional applications.
Serial number handling.
Having 12 lottables with sku is great for classifying the balance.

Cons

RF application still have poor interface.
No ability to add customized functions without the support.

Time to Upgrade

Currently using version 9, interested to see what we can do to upgrade. Current functionality is limited to our finished goods, need to integrate with ingredients, WIP, and packaging.

Pros

Cloud based

Cons

Expensive

Great software!!!

Pros

What i like about using Infor is that we were able to make forecasting easily. It helps us also to properly determine the supply needed.

Cons

As of this time, I did not encounter any problem. It works for us so well.......

infor - erp

Add-ons are great.

Pros

My company was able to integrate more efficient processes with the use of Infor and implementation was smooth.

Cons

The only thing I can say my company did not like is the time to logon. Takes longer than most applications.

Great system for first-timers

Pros

It's relatively cheap and straightforward out of the box. If this is your first ERP/MRP and you don't have an existing system/data to migrate over, this might be a great option.

Cons

You get what you paid for with regards to customization, scripting, migration of data and technical expertise on behalf of the infor team.

Antiquated, overly complicated, and rigid system

Was probably technologically advanced....20 years ago. Front-end interface gives the user no visibility into the linkages of the hundreds of tables on the back-end. One has to open multiple screens and manually piece the work flow together. The available reports read like an engineering manual and can only be exported as text files. There is no graphical interface to quickly identify issues and resolve.

Pros

Execution speed

Cons

Lack of export options and graphical reports

Could be better

Currently using infor in a pallet pick and case pick operation. Minimal reports available to us to use. Even though it is user friendly with it being web based, it seems like it should be able to do more than what it does. We currently have to run tons of reports to ensure we have all of our orders for the day. The associate doing the task should have clear visibility to what work needs to be pulled.

application analyst/developer

Very easy to use. Has all the functionality for 3PL warehouses, production warehouses, retail and food warehouses. Java based tool.

Pros

Very good Product, Easy to Configure, Java Based

Cons

Infor SCE

user friendly

Its easy to use and you will have visibility to see each location and carried out the transaction. You can easily teach other people as well..

Infor M3 Review

Somewhat complex during intial implementation; however, it becomes much easier over time. Much more functional that previous TMS provider.

M3 review

Excellent system but can be difficult to learn. Very many steps to accomplish tasks. Once learned system works great.
