What it is

Infor M3 is a comprehensive suite of software solutions designed specifically for medium to large, complex organizations that have physical inventories and assets to manage.

For more than 30 years, Infor M3 has been helping companies in chemicals, distribution, equipment, fashion, food and beverage, and industrial manufacturing manage all the core and supporting processes inherent in their operations.

Infor M3 is designed just for you, so you can focus on your business and how you want to run it.

What it does

With the full set of Infor M3 applications, you can monitor transactions throughout your organization (national or global), including manufacturing operations, supply chain activities, customer and supplier relationships, warehouse and distribution processes, and financial management.

Standard ERP functions such as financials, supply chain, and sales management are uniquely tuned and adapted to the specific needs of your industry.

Infor M3 delivers:

• Support for market development, product and equipment sales, together with after-sales service processes to give you a 360° management view of your customers
• Applications that control and optimize information, material, and financial flows throughout your organization, so you can manage multiple operational units even when they operate under different regulatory controls
• A way to manage lot and serial number traceability, equipment configurations and product attributes, styles, colors, sizes, co-products, and byproducts in discrete, process, and mixed-mode manufacturing environments, so you can define all aspects of the products that you produce and distribute.
• A system that captures, manages, controls, and analyzes your business operations, including local regulatory controls

Infor M3 consolidates all this information into one coherent view of operations, specific to the needs of your industry.

The complete Infor M3 system is made up of four integrated product suites, which together manage all the core and supporting processes in your business. They include:
