PRODUCT HISTORY

Infor M3 history

Originally called Movex, the M3 solution was developed by Sweden’s Intentia for manufacturing and distribution organizations. In a merger, Movex was rebranded as Lawson M3 with expanded capabilities and deeper vertical focus. In 2011, Infor acquired Lawson, reimagining and modernizing M3 within the Infor CloudSuite platform, embedding in proven, pre-built industry processes and AI and automation technology. Today, Infor M3 operates at the core of our strategy to deliver best-in-class ERPs purpose built for fashion, food and beverage, chemicals, distribution, industrial manufacturing, and equipment companies.
