Gilberts Airs Make-to-Order Production Benefits with Infor
Air distribution product manufacturer, Gilberts (Blackpool) Ltd. recently adopted Infor’s Configure Price Quote (CPQ) in an effort to help boost capacity, enhance production and improve customer service. With Infor CloudSuite Industrial integrated in Infor CPQ, Gilberts will use the application to reduce inventory and employee training, and obtain the ability to more efficiently process orders regardless of whether they are make-to-stock or make-to-order. the manufacturer is already reaping benefits with a 50% line entry improvement on quotations and orders placed. Ian Rogers, Sales Director, Gilberts (Blackpool), comments, “As the business has grown, the quotation and subsequent order processing, particularly for more bespoke products, has become time intensive and resource hungry which were at odds with our focus on Kanban, efficiency and service.”
