SYDNEY - Jul 31, 2005
Infor, the largest global software provider that exclusively focuses on the manufacturing and distribution markets, today announced that Wilson Fabrics & Homewares, the largest supplier of coated and uncoated fabrics in Australasia, has purchased Infor's Supply Chain solutions to forecast and plan their range of coated lining, jacquards, textured plains & prints as well as specialized Roman and Holland blind fabrics.
With a time-consuming forecasting process, Wilson Fabrics needed to find a supply chain solution that could meet the specific needs of their business and had a proven track record in the textile manufacturing industry. Wilson Fabrics employed Right-on-line, an independent consulting firm, to assist them in selecting the best solution for their business.
"With the assistance of Right-On-Line, we did an extensive and detailed review of the Infor solution. Infor appeared to demonstrate the best fit of supply chain management software to meet Wilson Fabric & Homewares functional requirements, and we are hopeful that we will be able to successfully implement Infor MLPC on time and on budget" said Sandip Ranjan, General Manager Wilson Fabric & Homewares.
Wilson Fabrics & Homewares have chosen to implement the Demand Forecasting, Inventory Optimisation, Sales & Operations Planning and Requirements Planning modules from the Infor MLPC supply chain planning suite. Infor prides itself on delivering solutions at the highest level of technical and functional excellence. The company's solutions are adaptable to change and deliver significant and rapid returns on investment.
