The solution provides the means for forward thinking order manufacturers to connect sales, marketing, manufacturing, financials and service; and helps companies connect manufacturing operations and core business processes to suppliers and customers. Infor Syteline offers the following ERP modules:
- Advanced Planning and Scheduling allows manufacturers to consistently and cost-effectively meet customer order due dates. Its lean planning and scheduling processes concurrently synchronize material and capacity uses to customer orders while minimizing operational overhead.
- Product Configuration provides an interactive bridge from customers to the production floor, and is designed for manufacturers of complex and widely variable or customizable products to configure sales requirements from proposal to production.
- Business Intelligence empowers businesses with the ability to analyze trends in market forces, understand what's driving the business, and make quick and informed decisions, through a flexible, multidimensional view of business and operations data.
