Infor CloudSuite Industrial Reviews

This is a production factory, so CloudSuite is used for bookkeeping, warehousing, and financial production.

CloudSuite has been helpful because we are using it in many countries too. If any of the companies have their own solutions, it affects the information flow. If you all have one solution and it's international, then the information flow is real-time.

There's no one feature or process that needs to improve. I couldn't give you an example because all of them are important.  

We started using CloudSuite Industrial, so it's been about 12 or 13 years.

This is cloud-based, so the stability is only affected by the connection.

It's hard to say because the owner of the product is the only one who knows exactly what the scalability is. But based on what I can see from the patches and updates, the scalability has been seamless. In total, there are about 3,000 end-users on the platform.

I have no complaints about Infor support.

Of course, we considered some other solutions. We did some research and chose CloudSuite because it has the flexibility to cover a range of areas. And there were many other factors like traceability, for example, which is crucial for food production.

Installing CloudSuite is incredibly straightforward. At the very beginning, we had help from the solution's Vendor. Deployment took about a week, excluding the preparation phase, which lasted about a month. And the number of people needed to deploy varies from company to company. If you are a big company, the number of people involved will be bigger than in small companies because you have to cover all areas. So there was quite a big group of consultants and also several teams on our side.

Pricing is always an area where there is room for improvement. 

I rate Infor CloudSuite Industrial nine out of 10. If you are working in the food and beverage industry, I would say it's a perfect solution.

In this case, scheduling and product planning were key drivers of ROI, but the overall step up in technology, user interface, and usability were very valuable.

Visibility across six buildings and 14 process lines were the #1 goal - determining parts completion dates, tracking QA issues, and just finding out where in production we were with a specific part was a full-time job for several people.

• Better planning
• Better visibility
• Streamlined staging
• Raw materials inventory awareness

Two years.

It was difficult, mainly due to the plant floor guys were used to a 12 year-old technology, various whiteboards, and dated approaches to rely on paper travellers, etc.

No.

No, the system was sold to us at the current user level, and was quite adequate to handle our operational load with no problems.

Infor is impossible, but if you have a good reseller partner, they can handle just about any issues.

Very good with the reseller.

It was ancient and didn't have half the features of SyteLine.

The complexity was mostly on having to leave the old ways behind and work how modern software speeds up processes.

Our reseller partner was excellent.

Mainly, we pushed back a $7M plant expansion because we were able to increase throughput with our existing facility. We will still build the new lines eventually, but we're looking back at how we designed it now that our workflow is different.

It was a bit more than our original budget, but once you learn to use it, you can see why it's well worth it.

Epicor, GlobalShop, Plex, NetSuite, and a couple others.

Very pleased with it so far. We will probably get even better with it in the years to come.
