SouthernCarlson Selects Infor CloudSuite Distribution for overall organizational improvements
SouthernCarlson Inc., a leading North American distributor of tools, fasteners, packaging and facility supplies, has selected Infor CloudSuite Distribution to help consolidate its operational systems, analyze data in near real time for faster decision making, and improve customer service. Per the press release, Infor’s cloud solutions – including Infor WMS warehouse management system, Infor Birst advanced analytics, and Infor Rhythm e-commerce – are planned to serve 1,200 users across more than 150 locations, with nine primary distribution centers set to use Infor WMS. SouthernCarlson’s operational model challenges to maintain applications that are not fully integrated, which results in inefficient and duplicate processes and discrepancies in data output and analytics. This environment has made it difficult for SouthernCarlson’s IT team to keep up with requested system modifications. With the help of Infor’s CloudSuite Distribution ERP (enterprise resource planning) system, SouthernCarlson anticipates it will be able to bring all of its relevant applications together for a “single version of the truth,” analyze key business data for faster and better decision making, and help its sales representatives deliver a higher level of customer service and satisfaction.
