Infor LN update helps automotive filter company improve data visibility and increase inventory accuracy
Infor, a company that specializes in industry-specific business applications built for the cloud, announced that Tecfil, a manufacturer of automotive filters, has achieved excellent results since upgrading its ERP to Infor LN. The modernization has helped Tecfil maximize its profitability in the growing Brazilian automotive market, bring the product to customers faster and eliminate operational challenges with greater data visibility.
A partnership was established between Tecfil and Infor Services to implement the solution, and the implementation was completed within budget and within two years, as planned. According to Tecfil, the main benefits with Infor LN are:
• Savings of 1,250 hours per month in sales order processes;
• 99.6% inventory accuracy;
• 92.8% reduction in work associated with customization issues;
• 50% reduction in the time required in the financial closing process, with increased reporting reliability.
"By implementing Infor LN, we gained visibility and control over our multisite supply chain, our manufacturing, design, and service operations. In this way, we were able to provide our users with a near real-time view of inventory, which helped us to achieve 99.6% accuracy. Not only is Tecfil now able to better manage inventory, but we have also improved our procurement functions. The system upgrade to Infor LN resulted in a 75% reduction in order processing time of sales, reduced the execution time for the customers and improved the quality of the service. Tecfil also reduced the preparation times to modify the tools of the manufacturing processes", says Ricardo Brandão, director of Tecfil.
Another advantage: Employees in all departments have access to timely and reliable information, generating a positive impact on the company's decision-making processes. “With Infor LN bringing complete information to users in all roles, our employees can easily generate analytical reports,” adds Edson Juarez da Cruz, IT Supervisor at Tecfil.
"With the rich examples of industry best practices present in Infor LN, Infor allows companies to reduce the level of IT support needed to maintain their systems", concludes Eduardo Freitas, Infor's account manager.
