A Tool for Productivity and Profitability

The Sx.enterprise distribution software package includes highly-integrated core applications and optional modules that work across Infor's robust SOA architecture framework.

Infor Open SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture) is Infor’s commitment to solution interoperability, innovation, and evolution across all product lines so customers can easily add, change, upgrade, or modify solutions as their business requirements change. By enabling Infor's proven, business-specific solutions to plug into customers’ ecosystems, they make it possible to leverage the benefits of a service-oriented architecture without the disruption of having to replacing an entire IT infrastructure. Infor delivers increased business agility by modeling Infor Open SOA software technology on the event-driven service-oriented architecture paradigm, where interoperable and autonomous applications and software components are assembled to meet our customers’ specific business needs. Infor Open SOA is the sole technology strategy for all Infor products, now and in the future.

SX.enterprise allows distributors to enhance customer service, manage inventory levels, increase productivity and improve profitability. SX.enterprise provides users with a variety of tools to quickly assess and enhance both current and past business performance.

A Solution in Sync with Technology

Infor’s philosophy is to provide solutions that are sophisticated, yet simple, and in sync with technology. Imagine – with just a click of the mouse, a sales rep can inquire about the stock level of an item across warehouses, pull up a picture to verify, check the customer’s activity and initiate a drop-ship or warehouse transfer.

A Solution Designed Specifically for Distributors

High customer service levels are maintained with a minimum investment in inventory through system calculated order controls and optimum replenishment activity. Return on investment is maximized through a sophisticated but flexible costing and pricing system that allows distributors to quickly and accurately control costs and management prices. Features such a prioritized backorder fulfillment, stock reservations, non-stock sales tracking and powerful analysis tools further emphasize SX.enterprise’s role in supply chain management.
