ERP integration transforms automation and financial reporting with good support
I use the solution for the manufacturing process, finance, supply chains, and quality It integrates with robotic processing and automation, enhancing our process automation. It also integrates with the PLC system using Mitsubishi and with the MIS software. The solution covers all modules,…
Eugenio Santos - PeerSpot reviewer
Program adapts to our requirements and handles our operations effectively
The interface we use currently needs enhancement, as I am still using the outdated green screens. I would benefit for us to adpot the latest INFOR user interface, which is a more integrated interface. Additionally, improvements in warehouse handling with handheld terminal, quality management in warehouses, and managing a dual sourcing strategy would be beneficial. I have had to build my own applications for some features that are lacking, and aligning all components for uncertainty management in the market is necessary.
