ERP INTEGRATION – BIGGEST BENEFIT 
In addition to the CRM and Sales Force Automation features in Tour de Force, Neff Power has found that they get the biggest benefit from the integration to their TrulinX ERP system. Kevin Hogarth, Operations Manager for Neff Power, explains that “I can go into Tour de Force, and I can see all bookings yesterday for a specific number of territories, then I can drill down into other information that I need, look at open orders, open items, sales history, inquiries, etc. We also look at who are our biggest losers, biggest winners, our accounts that are up, and our accounts that are down." 

Filtrec Bharat, a specialist in manufacturing filter elements for industrial and process filters, has recently announced that it has selected the Infor LN solution for its expertise in manufacturing planning and supply chain. Infor LN offers a comprehensive ERP solution that provides a consolidated view of complex global operations from design to delivery, including manufacturing, supply chain management, and after-market services.  

With business operations spread across India and Italy, Filtrec Bharat faces complex challenges. Among the key considerations are seamless production planning for product customization, shorter product lifecycles and effective traceability for transparent integration across multiple systems. Filtrec Bharat's existing legacy infrastructure was unable to meet the agility required by a modern discrete manufacturer. With Infor LN, Filtrec Bharat will benefit by streamlining operations and drive collaboration across business functions for informed decisions.
