Manufacturers have a lot of ERP systems to choose from, but CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) from Infor is one of the best. CSI stands apart because it was designed to offer sophisticated tools to streamline operations while making business processes as simple as possible. With its fast deployment capability, it’s no wonder that more companies are turning to CSI for their ERP needs.
Real-Time Visibility
With Infor CSI, you have real-time visibility across your entire enterprise. You can see everything from the number of jobs being worked to project statuses, KPI numbers, and current inventory levels. An ERP gives you the capacity to look at production at on the micro level (like checking the progress notes of a particular task) to the macro and seeing the big picture of your organization. You can even analyze this data through your system’s report features, comparing data for different years, shifts, or facilities.
With such a clear view of the data, you can quickly flag areas of your business that are slowing you down. If you are looking for a new ERP or want to fix issues with your existing system, talk to Datix. At Datix, we offer each of our clients a business-first approach to ERP solutions, meaning that we take the time to understand how they operate. Let Datix make a tailored plan for your organization.
Automation
Automation has numerous distinct advantages in manufacturing: its faster, easier, and less prone to errors. Quoting, pricing, restocking inventory, soliciting competing bids from suppliers, and other critical tasks can be automated through CloudSuite Industrial. Quoting is one of the most important aspects for securing orders, but you need to factor in current raw material prices and labor costs if you want to be competitive while protecting your bottom line. Rather than calculating quotes by hand or in an outside spreadsheet, CSI can do the work for you and allow you to deliver a realistic quote to a prospective customer within moments. Nothing hurts closing a sale more than having to say “I’ll have to get back to you” when a customer is anxious to know your prices.
Automating business processes allows tasks to be easier and more accessible. Tasks like processing new inventory shipments and sending out deliveries take a fraction of the time. These little time savings add up to hours of saved time over the course of a day and hundreds of hours over the course of a year. Automation speeds up the fulfillment process and allows your employees to dedicate most of their time to the tasks that require their unique skillset. If you want to streamline your business processes and unlock your potential with Infor CloudSuite consulting, talk to the experts at Datix. For 25 years, we have helped our clients with their ERP ecosystems throughout every stage of their software evolution, for the planning to the implementation and beyond.
Scalability
Just when your company is about to reach the next level with bigger and better customers, scalability issues can throw your team into chaos. Expanding companies want to operate at their peak to keep up with increased demand, but right at this critical time, staff may be forced to halt business processes or work with disjointed, time-consuming systems.
Fortunately, CSI is designed to scale so that your software never holds you back from growing your business, even on a global level. Your ERP will adapt with you, meaning it is simple to adjust your usage while maintaining a single source of truth for your data. Instead of having different facilities or sectors using a mish mash of platforms, you can maintain a 360-degree view of your organization and continue to use your favorite CSI tools.
Transforming your business with an ERP implementation can feel daunting, but it doesn’t have to be challenging. With 25 years’ experience, our team at Datix know how to support clients. As a one-stop shop, we can provide whatever ERP solutions you need, including implementation, support, hosting, disaster recovery, and more.
