Infor ERP Adage will augment Infor ERP SX.enterprise, a robust enterprise resource planning (ERP) offering for distributors that is already deployed at Farouk. This is expected to provide the manufacturer with a holistic view of the entire enterprise for improved customer service and operational efficiency.
Adage was selected in part because of the success Farouk has experienced with SX.enterprise, which the company says revolutionized its distribution business. SX.enterprise enables Farouk to manage its three North American facilities, moving inventory between them as needed to satisfy delivery requirements. For the past two years, the company has seen improvement in data and inventory management, order accuracy and customer service levels.
With the addition of Adage, Farouk will be able to react quickly to market changes. The software will enable Farouk to more accurately forecast product demand and make changes to production planning in an effort to maximize throughput and improve market share.
Most software vendors address a single vertical segment of an industry, such as manufacturing or distribution, but very few reputable ERP vendors address both the vertical as well as the horizontal segments of an industry, said Nabil Ajineh, CIO for Farouk Systems USA. Infor provides expert-level software and other planning and execution tools, which provide a single integrated suite of solutions across all functional areas of our organization. We believe this creates a partnership for success.
