Infor Updates i5/OS-Based Distribution Solution

Published: August 28, 2007

Infor last week launched a new version of ERP A+, an i5/OS-based application designed for companies in the distribution business. With the new version, Infor has integrated ERP A+ with some of its other products.

According to Infor's A+ announcement, the new version of A+ delivers two new features: integration with other Infor products, including Infor SCM Demand Planning and "document management," and a new interface that is so easy to use that employees will learn it "in record time," the company says.

Customers purchasing the new version of A+ and using it with SCM Demand Planning can expect to see benefits in the area of forecasting and inventory and replenishment planning. "The new features in Infor ERP A+, including integration with other Infor solutions, will provide companies with the comprehensive visibility they require to manage complex supply chains and quickly respond to market fluctuation," says Andrew McGlasson, a director of industry and product marketing with Infor.

One A+ user, WAXIE Sanitary Supply, had great things to say about Infor's product. "Our partnership with Infor and the improved capabilities in A+ will help us take our business to the next level," Harry Babb, vice president of Corporate Operations and IT for WAXIE Sanitary Supply, which is based in San Diego, California.

Earlier this year, IBM included Infor A+ in its Vertical Industry Program (VIP) for the Janitorial and Sanitation (Jan/San) industry.

Real Life Solutions: SpoolFlex Automated Report Distribution
Frees Up 10% of the Work Week is the Obvious Solution

Selkirk L.L.C. is a world-leading manufacturer of registers, grilles, diffusers, and chimney and gas venting products. Headquartered in Richardson, Texas, Selkirk distributes its products through wholesale distribution, retail outlets, and commercial/industrial plan-spec projects.

Prior to using SpoolFlex, Selkirk used a manual process for sending out advance shipment notices and order confirmations to customers. “We would take spool files from the AS/400 and convert them to forms that we would fax out,” says Selkirk’s network manager, “but somebody from IT had to go in and manually do it. That job could take could take half a day.”

Selkirk began searching for a solution that would eliminate this cumbersome, manual process and move report distribution into an automated nightly batch process. Immediately, SpoolFlex became Selkirk’s obvious choice, offering users several different formatting options, including formatted Excel and PDF, automating their manual process saving several hours per week, and providing an auditing feature that allowed users to search, view and re-send any file that might have a discrepancy.

SpoolFlex provides Selkirk with a more secure, more stable, and more reliable report distribution tool, eliminating the expense and hassle of manual processing. The SpoolFlex flat, modular pricing makes it affordable for any organization to do the same, whether their business is manufacturing, distribution, healthcare, finance, education or a government agency. SpoolFlex put hours back into the week for Selkirk, and is available for free evaluation to see what it can do for you.
