Facilitates streamlined business processes and consolidation of divisions
The advantage of Infor LN is the ability to customize some sessions directly to what our business needs. It simplifies tracking by following every transaction in the system, allowing finance to see online each finance transaction from production orders, purchase orders, inventory, and project-wise. Infor LN helps consolidate divisions into one language, facilitating time and cost savings.

Information Technology Manager at Clarimex
Reliable product with straightforward setup process
Overall, Dynamics SL served us well for many years. However, organizations should consider more modern solutions, especially those that support transactional processing, to avoid the inefficiencies associated with batch processing. I would advise looking into more modern solutions that avoid batch processing. While it was reliable, its batch system is outdated compared to newer transactional systems. I rate it a nine out of ten.

Cons

"There is always room for improvement. Our version of Infor LN is quite old, and we have discussed upgrading."
"When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU."
