Why the Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) ERP

Unlike other ERP systems, Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) was created from the go specifically for manufacturing companies. It has been developed and advanced according to best experience and real needs for over 30 years. That’s why it includes advanced planning and production scheduling right at the core. This not only distinguishes it from other similar products, but specifically eliminates the need to add an APS functionality via an interface add-on over the ERP. The projects implemented by ITeuro over the past 20+ years guarantee the expected benefits.

The current generation of the product is built on the Infor Mongoose low-code framework, in which developers can easily add their own applications to the ERP. Another advantage is a web client, with forms adapted to working in the system on a touchscreen device.

The solution can be run both on your own hardware (on-premise) and in the cloud. The features and functionality are further substantially expanded by the intelligent Infor OS platform. Its use with the Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) ERP provides tools for digital business transformation, advanced user collaboration, the integration of existing applications, data warehouse creation and analytics, document management and more.
