Connected business processes

Keep the whole operation in view.

An ERP decision starts with everyday work: the order that needs a promise date, the component that is missing, and the financial result that needs explaining.

Finance & control

Connect operational transactions with accounting, cost visibility and financial reporting.

Inventory & fulfilment

Bring stock, orders and material movements into a consistent operational view.

Procurement & supply

Link buying decisions, supplier commitments and receipts to business demand.

Production & quality

Coordinate manufacturing records, work in progress and quality requirements.

Orders & customer demand

Align order commitments, availability and invoicing with delivery capability.

Analytics & decisions

Define useful operational measures and give each role the right context.

Infor Industry AI

Move from information to informed action.

Industry AI combines predictive, prescriptive and generative capabilities with agents designed for specific roles and processes. The opportunity is to make decisions and follow-through more effective.

MetaDynamic helps identify where an agent can add value, which records it may use, and where a person must approve the next step.

  • Natural-language assistance for supported questions and tasks.
  • Role-specific agents that gather context and coordinate work.
  • Permissions, review points and audit evidence built into the design.
A practical agent workflow
01
Recognise the exception

Identify the relevant order, supplier or production issue.

02
Assemble the context

Bring together permitted records and business rules.

03
Recommend & review

Explain the proposed next step and route it for approval.

04
Act & record

Execute the authorised task and retain the outcome.

Infor currently describes selected Industry AI Agents and GenAI Assistant capabilities as limited availability. Product readiness, region, entitlements, consumption and data access must be confirmed for your proposed use case.

Velocity Suite · Process mining · RPA

Find the friction. Automate with purpose.

Use evidence from your processes to choose the next improvement. Infor Velocity Suite brings together AI, process mining and automation, including the Value+ solution catalogue.

01

Understand the work

Use process mining to examine event records, bottlenecks and rework. Prioritise a repeatable problem with an agreed business owner.

02

Design the automation

Combine supported workflows, document processing and RPA. Include validation, exception handling and a recoverable execution path.

03

Measure & refine

Compare cycle time, review effort and successful completion with the baseline. Monitor the process as volumes and business rules change.

Start with one valuable workflow.

For example: capture an order → validate it → review exceptions → post the approved transaction.

Emerging possibilities

Explore the next use case with a clear business case.

Test emerging technologies against a specific operational need, using a limited pilot and measurable acceptance criteria.

Digital twins & immersive experiences

Connect operational context to a model of an asset, process or facility. Assess AR/VR training, maintenance guidance or metaverse collaboration where a 3D experience helps users make better decisions.

ERP + operational dataModel + AR/VR experience

Blockchain & shared traceability

Evaluate distributed records when several organisations need a trusted view of provenance. Compare the approach with conventional traceability and network solutions before choosing the architecture.

Agreed partner recordsGoverned traceability network

These are integration opportunities, not standard features included with every Infor ERP. Immersive platforms, blockchain networks, specialist partners and commercial terms require separate assessment.

Infor Industry Cloud Platform

A connected foundation for continuous improvement.

Design the connections and data ownership before adding more applications. Infor’s platform supports integration, data, extensibility and AI around the selected CloudSuite.

Integration that can be operated

Use Infor ION, supported APIs and appropriate connectors. Include authentication, monitoring, error handling and recovery.

Questions before you start

Infor ERP consulting FAQs

Practical answers for evaluating CloudSuite, Industry AI and connected operations.

Which Infor ERP is right for our business?

The decision depends on your production model, industry, sites, financial requirements and existing systems. LN is suited to complex discrete and project manufacturing; M3 supports industry-specific manufacturing and distribution; CloudSuite Industrial builds on SyteLine. MetaDynamic evaluates process fit, gaps and total cost before recommending a route.

What is the relationship between Infor ERP, CloudSuite and Velocity Suite?

Infor ERP provides the core business applications. An industry CloudSuite combines the relevant ERP with selected industry applications and platform capabilities. Velocity Suite adds a package of AI, process mining and automation capabilities. The precise applications, services and commercial terms must be confirmed for your selected offering.

Can Infor AI agents and natural-language assistants work in our ERP?

Infor Industry AI Agents support role-specific tasks and can use the GenAI Assistant to interpret requests and coordinate work. Infor currently describes selected agents and assistant capabilities as limited availability. We confirm eligibility, release, licensing, data access and approval controls before proposing a deployment.

How do Infor RPA and process mining work together?

Process mining examines process records to reveal how work actually moves through the business. RPA handles suitable repetitive tasks, while workflows control decisions and exceptions. We use the evidence to choose an automation candidate, test it and compare the result with its baseline.

Are Infor MES and Factory Track the same product?

No. Infor MES supports broader manufacturing execution, including production, quality, maintenance and related plant processes. Factory Track focuses on manufacturing automation, warehouse mobility, material transactions and labour tracking. We assess the requirements and ERP compatibility before selecting or combining them.

Can Infor connect with machines, IoT devices and other systems?

Yes, with an appropriate integration design. The project needs to define equipment interfaces, gateways, data ownership and event handling. Infor integration services and supported APIs can connect business applications; industrial connectivity and safety-critical control remain specific engineering responsibilities.

Are metaverse experiences and blockchain included with Infor ERP?

They should be treated as separate solution opportunities, not assumed ERP features. Digital twins and AR/VR experiences can use governed ERP and operational data. Blockchain may suit selected multi-party traceability needs. Each requires its own architecture, partners, permissions and business case.

How do we estimate cost, delivery time and ROI?

Begin with an assessment of processes, users, data, integrations and rollout scope. Separate subscription and infrastructure costs from implementation, devices, AI consumption and support. Agree a baseline and measurable targets for areas such as order handling, stock accuracy or schedule adherence; benefits are validated rather than guaranteed.
