In today's fast-paced and data-driven business environment, organisations are constantly striving to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and drive growth. However, many businesses continue to face process inefficiencies, delays, and bottlenecks that limit productivity and profitability. This is where Infor™ Process Mining comes in.

By providing a powerful, data-driven tool, Infor Process Mining helps organisations eliminate bottlenecks and unlock their operational potential, ensuring smoother processes and better business outcomes.

Top five common business process bottlenecks

  1. Manual data entry and errors
    Time-consuming and error-prone, manual data entry leads to delays, rework, and misinformed decisions—ultimately slowing down processes.
  2. Inefficient approvals and decision-making
    Lengthy approval cycles with multiple decision-makers create bottlenecks, delaying projects and causing missed deadlines.
  3. Lack of process visibility
    Without real-time insights, organisations struggle to spot inefficiencies, leaving them unable to respond quickly to issues as they arise.
  4. Resource allocation challenges
    Poor resource allocation, whether due to underutilised tools or overburdened employees, results in inefficiency, missed deadlines, and higher costs.
  5. Communication and collaboration breakdowns
    Ineffective communication between teams can lead to misunderstandings, missed opportunities, and costly errors.

Data-driven decision-making
By offering clear, accurate insights, Infor Process Mining enables managers to make informed decisions, optimising processes and making agile changes as needed by leveraging built-in benchmarking with industry standards.
