User Testimonials
	Infor Distribution SX.e	Infor LN
Likelihood to Recommend	Infor Overall management of companies operations including sales, inventory control, warehousing, accounting (ar, ap, and gl). We are able to take a customers order, provide information if the product is in stock, send the order to the warehouse, pick the order, deliver the order using our custom routing program built inside SX.e, invoice the order upon receiving shipping feedback, and then collecting payment within SX.e. We also use SX.e for our purchasing of products from our vendors, tracking the products, entering the products into inventory, and then updating each location with the current inventory. We also are able to track pricing and vendor rebates as well as special price adjustments within SX.e. Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor Infor ERP LN supports all discrete manufacturing processes including engineer-to-order, configure-to-order, project-based, make-to-order, and make-to-stock. If your company is a process manufacturing company, it may not be the best ERP for you. Incentivized Giuseppe Robbiano ERP Manager Read full review
Pros	Infor Integrates with supported 3rd party solutions Very customizeable Robust Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor As a global organization, we deal with many languages and some software localizations. Infor ERP LN has 21 language packs and a software localization for the countries where Bray operates that need one (Argentina, Colombia, Chile, Peru, Poland, Russia, and India). We need flexibility, versatility, and visibility in our operations and financials. Infor ERP LN delivers most of what Bray needs in a standard ERP system, allowing us to operate without the need for complex software functionality customizations and/or personalizations. Infor ERP LN has an easy-to-learn, easy-to-use, user-friendly GUI. Incentivized Giuseppe Robbiano ERP Manager Read full review
Cons	Infor User Interface customizability Q&D programming Database management Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor Infor ERP LN could have a better way of handling single sign-on (SSO) capabilities. Infor ERP LN could improve its GUI by not using Java as its platform, using HTML5 instead. I know Infor is already working on it. Infor ERP LN could improve the way you can "kill" a user license (needed when trying to disconnect a user without leaving in the background "defunct" processes). Incentivized Giuseppe Robbiano ERP Manager Read full review
Usability	Infor It is very customizable and has lots of scalabilities. However, it can get out of control if not contained with proper business process control. Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Infor We use a Channel Partner and don't interact with Infor directly for support. Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	Infor SXe fit our distribution model and it allowed us to customize it to our specific needs that were not available in the other solutions. The 3rd party integration was also a nice benefit as we use multiple solutions that were not part of the SXe Suite. Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Infor Ability to stay on top of Inventory as not to carry too much overhead Keep Inventory set to FIFO Manage deliveries to keep cost per stops to a minimum Incentivized Lance Melnik IT Manager Read full review	Infor Quick migration from different ERP systems and legacy systems to Infor ERP LN. Increased employee efficiency. Incentivized Giuseppe Robbiano ERP Manager Read full review
