The hospital uses Infor ERP as a recruitment tool for tracking applications, generating reports, sending message templates and automated responses, and other uses in many departments. Infor ERP helps recruiters, managers, and others in human resources to track candidate progress, look back at previous applicants, share data, and review qualifications for roles within the organization.
  • Generating reports for candidate tracking
  • Organizing the candidate profile information
  • sending templates and automatic responses to users
  • Navigation between pages
  • Communication with other systems and importing data from other sources
  • Availability of data and quick views as opposed to having to click into every page.
In my opinion, Infor ERP is best used for an organization with low applicant numbers. In my opinion, I do not feel that the system is designed for high volume recruitment besides allowing the number of applicants to come through. In my experience, the system is very slow, navigating through the pages is redundant and you feel as if you hit a dead-end before you have to open in a new tab or screen to get to the same information. In my experience, there is a very limited amount of quick views in the system so you need to navigate to other pages to get the full information frequently I believe this is not ideal for use during calls or meeting.

  • Allows us to complete the full-cycle recruitment process
  • In my experience , it does not allow users to navigate through information quickly
  • I believe, when using infor for recruitment, candidates should be able to upload documents required for the position. In my experience, Infor does not allow us to specify this.
In my opinion, Infor ERP lacks in a lot of customizable features and navigation through the system. I believe If you are using this for the recruitment process in your organization, the system is very slow to navigate, does not accommodate for high volume of applicants, and you can experience a lot of issues with communication between systems. In my opinion, Infor ERP does not collect or transmit data easily between other systems, even when integrated.

We use Infor ERP throughout the organization; from manufacturing to quality control, purchasing to accounting and reporting.
We need a robust business intelligence platform that we can structure in order to run several KPI's and dashboard reports by using the data we already have in place. Currently we use a third party program to put these figures together, however setup process was painful and see ongoing problems while we use it.
  • It is one of the simplest products on the market. Very user friendly and in my opinion not complicated and busy wit unnecessary tools.
  • We usually do a very short training for new hires and they pick it up promptly.
  • Data processing is fast and results are always on time.
  • Good amount of ready made reports for our needs.
  • You need an IT person in order to customize reports, overcome system locks, etc. But, usually having an IT guy in house is a good thing as well.
  • There isn't auto lock future that would sign put users if they don't use the program for extended time.
  • Missing auto warning messages when you're about to run a big amount of data.
  • A continuous improvement (Lean) section with employee suggestions (ideas) ability would be great.
  • Updates for latest technological improvements usually come late.
When properly set up, existing financial reports work very well. Sometimes you need to customize these reports to meet your needs.
Inventory control is a breeze and makes you feel comfortable with Infor ERP. Again, when properly set up it is capable of giving the appropriate reports with several details without any hiccups.

  • It definitely increased employee efficiency. We're working on how to improve scheduling.
  • We have better control on inventory and can see where our money is.
  • Infor ERP improved the way we track open customer orders (backlogs).
I used another Infor ERP version called Mapics in the past. It was also a great product; efficient and fast. It was a hybrid one, running under Windows and DOS platforms; and hey, sometimes you need to sacrifice a good looking and colorful screen to black and white DOS in order to get things done faster and effective.
It is a user friendly, simpler and robust platform.
We always go thru our own IT team first. However, when they don't have the answer Infor support is always ready to resolve any question you would be asking, and they always get back to you promptly.

IT background with Infor experience is highly recommended
  • Finance and Accounting reports
  • Tracking sales by business units and product groups
  • Inventory control
  • Cost accounting
  • Addition of labortrak (shoptrak) module was on our long time wish list. After getting it implemented we're able to effectively track labor time.
  • If continuous improvement (lean) future could be added, we would be interested in to purchase that module.
  • Multi site function would be a possibility for us.
  • A smarter BI (business intelligence) is on my new wish list.
Because of its robust but simplest interface. Also, it is an inexpensive alternative.
Not Sure
No
When we implemented Infor to another plant we acquired, Infor provided right resources on time and finished the implementation without any problems. They took it very seriously and with the support and knowledge of our IT and accounting team we tackled the task with a great success.I highly recommend using Infor for your ERP software needs.
  • Running financial reports is easy
  • Running inventory reports is easy
  • Running employee labor reports is easy.
  • When run into a non responsive report run, you need an IT person to help you out.
  • When there are too many users logged in to system, it doesn't automatically log off the inactive users for a certain period of time.
Yes, but I don't use it
