Infor New Release To Facilitate Growth For Small To Mid-Sized Distributors

While the solution is designed with small to medium-sized businesses in mind, it can be successfully utilized to help promote growth for distributors of all dimensions.

NEW YORK — Infor, a provider of business application software serving more than 73,000 customers, on Monday announced general availability of the latest version of Infor Distribution FACTS. This release delivers enhanced functionality built on industry best practices, helping distributors to maintain a competitive market position by reducing inventory costs while simultaneously improving customer service. While the solution is designed with small to medium-sized businesses in mind, it can be successfully utilized to help promote growth for distributors of all dimensions. Infor FACTS delivers critical functionality to optimize efficiency and accuracy, which in turn facilitates improved profitability and productivity.

Key Enhancements:

  • This release of Infor FACTS delivers the new Alert Control Center, which automatically creates and displays a user-specific check list of action items. By consolidating tasks into a single, easily accessible location employees are better able to allocate their time. The Alert Control Center also provides users with a much-needed level of visibility to prioritize more pressing assignments, ensuring that urgent tasks are completed quickly and efficiently.
  • Infor FACTS now integrates directly with CenPOS, a payment processing application that allows distributors to accept a wider range of payment methods.  This connectivity facilitates faster, safer credit card processing and helps distributors to save money on transaction fees.
  • Decision-makers will now have the ability to set minimum order quantities for specific warehouses or individual products in this version of Infor FACTS. This option prevents users from entering sales orders that do not meet volume guidelines from suppliers and can be utilized to direct employees to pull inventory from a particular location, without requiring the distributor to rely on manual communication methods.
  • The latest release of Infor FACTS provides more advanced lead time functionality for seasonal items. This gives distributors the agility to better accommodate fluctuating demand and helps to prevent businesses from stocking excess inventory, ultimately facilitating reduced costs.
