Infor Sparks Production at Bolton Conductive
Infor ERP VISUAL Increases Inventory Visibility and Production Planning and Scheduling for Automotive Supplier.
Atlanta, GA, December 21, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced Bolton Conductive Systems, a leading manufacturer of electrical systems for the automotive, military and other industries, has selected Infor ERP VISUAL, a robust enterprise resource planning system for small to midsized companies in the automotive and discrete manufacturing industries. ERP VISUAL addresses the company’s front office, back office, manufacturing, engineering, distribution, and business performance needs and will enable Bolton Conductive, which recently doubled its sales, to boost profitability through increased inventory visibility and enhanced planning and scheduling.
Sold and serviced through Infor Channel Partner Visual Business Solutions, Infor ERP VISUAL provides Bolton Conductive greater visibility into the precise inventory levels required to increase production to meet its higher demand. Additionally, the planning and scheduling functionality of Infor’s software will provide the company insight into production levels and requirements to deliver goods to customers to meet their just-in-time production agenda. Through these capabilities, ERP VISUAL will help Bolton Conductive improve its internal operations to keep pace with its recent and projected growth.
“We considered several ERP systems and ultimately selected Infor ERP VISUAL because we knew that the solution had the flexibility to change and grow with us over time,” said Bill Bolton, owner, Bolton Conductive Systems. “Infor’s unique approach to Service Oriented Architecture gave us the confidence that as we evolve as a company, we can seamlessly add new functionality without disrupting our business. We know that Infor’s dedication to deliver new functionality to ERP VISUAL will mean the system will continue to be the best solution for us and will keep our total cost of ownership low.”
Bolton Conductive Systems, located in Walled Lake, Mich., plans to deploy ERP VISUAL at its 80,000 sq/ft manufacturing facility, where the company produces electrical systems for major OEMs including GM, Saturn and Cobasys. Many of the company’s 110 employees will use the system, which will help them have clear knowledge of inventory and accurately plan and schedule production.
“Businesses across the country, and especially in the automotive industry, need to find ways to bolster productivity and profitability to remain competitive in today’s volatile marketplace,” said Kevin Piotrowski, director of discrete industry and product marketing, Infor. “Infor ERP VISUAL is used by more than 4,000 small to midsized manufacturing companies because its rich, built-in functionality helps reduce lead times and inventory, and improve productivity and customer satisfaction.”
