From margin pressure to profitable growth
Win more projects with faster quoting, accurate delivery, and controlled costs. Infor ERP helps reduce scrap, optimise scheduling, and expand capacity without extra overhead.
From disconnected systems to one platform
Integrate extrusion, blow moulding, injection, and assembly workflows into a single cloud ERP. Eliminate manual reporting, support remote teams, and scale multi-site operations seamlessly.
From unclear costs to predictable profitability
Automate reporting, improve billing accuracy, and reduce inventory carrying costs by up to 30%. Track profitability per job, material type, or customer contract.
From production delays to consistent output
Monitor OEE and production line efficiency across extrusion, moulding, and assembly. Predict maintenance, synchronise material availability, and ensure quality compliance with food-grade and sustainability requirements.

Benefits of Infor Plastics ERP

/01

Industry-specific, preconfigured functionality

Infor ERP is purpose-built for plastics manufacturing with out-of-the-box features like resin and batch tracking, multi-process routing (extrusion, injection, blow moulding, thermoforming), and integrated tooling management for rapid deployment and immediate relevance.

/02

Material traceability & compliance

Track virgin, recycled, and bio-based materials through every stage of production. Maintain full genealogy for food-grade compliance, sustainability reporting, and customer certifications with real-time data integrity.

/03

Advanced production & supply chain planning

Synchronise production schedules across multi-site operations, align procurement with demand, and manage hybrid MTS/MTO workflows. Integrated forecasting and S&OP reduce stock-outs, lower waste, and improve delivery performance.

/04

Global cloud scalability and agility

Built on multi-tenant AWS cloud, Infor ERP offers scalability, built-in security, and automatic updates. Support expansion across multiple plants, enable remote access, and deploy new workflows without custom builds.

/05

Enhanced efficiency, quality, and service capabilities

Infor reduces lead times, boosts OEE, and integrates quality checks at every stage. Real-time dashboards, warranty management, and after-market service modules support efficiency from shop floor to customer delivery.

Why these matter for plastic manufacturers

Time-to-market edge:

Integrated design-to-production workflows accelerate new product launches and tooling projects.

Risk mitigation:

Full material traceability reduces compliance risk and supports food, medical, and sustainability certifications.

Operational resilience:

Cloud architecture ensures uptime, scalability, and reduced IT burden across sites.

Customer experience:

Reliable quality, faster delivery, and integrated service features strengthen customer loyalty and retention.

Built to scale with your business

Built for multi-site fabrication

Coordinate production, service, and inventory across multiple plants or service centres with one source of truth. Meet local compliance while managing global operations and multiple currencies.

Industry proven processes, ready to go

Infor ERP includes vertical-specific processes crafted from years of collaboration with a global client base. Every feature has been refined through real-world customer feedback, giving you best-practice practical solutions.

Composable

Instead of being a rigid, one-size-fits-all system, Infor offers composable modules so you can add, remove, or extend capabilities as your business evolves.

Infor Marketplace

Find pre-built extensions, add-ons, and industry-specific modules from a growing ecosystem of partners which let you tailor to your unique processes without expensive customization.

Configured for ETO, MTO, MTS

Supports advanced scheduling (ETO, MTO, MTS) for variable-volume and configure-to-order environments

Make to Order

Streamline custom packaging runs with real-time visibility from quote to shipment. Keep lead times short and quality consistent across extrusion, blow moulding, or injection.

Make to stock

Optimise high-volume production of standard SKUs with accurate forecasting, lean inventory, and automated replenishment -reducing excess stock while meeting FMCG and industrial demand.

Engineer to order

Manage custom tooling and design-to-manufacture projects in one system. Link CAD, engineering updates, and production workflows to deliver unique packaging or polymer solutions on time and within budget.

Outcome of using ERP in plastic   
manufacturing

Before Infor ERP

Margins squeezed by scrap, high inventory costs, and missed deadlines.

Multiple systems for CAD, scheduling, and inventory causing delays and errors.

Unclear job profitability, unpredictable costs, and poor inventory tracking.

Bottlenecks in extrusion, moulding, and assembly disrupting schedules.

After Infor ERP

Higher margins through accurate quoting, reduced waste, faster delivery, and agility to expand.

One secure, integrated cloud platform with real-time updates across design, production, and supply chain.

Real-time cost visibility, 30% lower holding costs, and predictable profitability across projects and product lines.

Dashboards highlight risks early, align jobs, labour, and materials, ensuring continuous production flow.

Integrations

Infor CloudSuite connects with many popular platforms, including CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce, productivity tools like Microsoft 365 and Teams, and e-commerce systems such as Shopify, BigCommerce, and Magento.
Integrations use RESTful APIs and Infor’s own integration solution, Infor ION, to enable real-time data flows. Some of these integrations (e.g. Shopify via the e Commerce Connector for CloudSuite Distribution) are available out-of-the-box, while others - like Salesforce - typically require setup and configuration work using APIs or third-party tools.

Configure Price Quote CPQ

CPQ is a standalone design portal that can be used with most brands of ERP (it’s ERP agnostic) where you configure to manufacture. It has rules e.g. minimum thickness (based on your size of this, you’ll need that thickness). It creates a bill of materials at the back end, generating routings and drawings (“you’ll need cuts at these points”) to speed up accurate production.

Factory Tracking

Factory Track helps management of shop floor operations, tracking production activities, and optimising labour and materials usage in real time. It provides visibility from scheduling and production tracking to inventory and quality control. Modules include time and attendance, shop floor control, traceability, and warehouse mobility.

Velocity

Infor Velocity is a process optimization toolkit that helps organizations speed up the value they get from Infor CloudSuite. It uses process mining, robotic process automation (RPA), and AI-driven insights to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and compliance gaps, while benchmarking performance against best practices. Velocity gives quick visibility into where money and time are being lost and provides data-driven insights to prioritize improvements, reducing reliance on manual analysis and guesswork. With preconfigured templates and Infor Value+ automation assets, businesses can eliminate repetitive tasks, enhance efficiency, and achieve measurable outcomes faster.
