For Every Body Chooses Infor ERP Solution to Help Light the Way to Growth
Infor ERP VISUAL Streamlines Manufacturing Operations, Including Financial Management, Employee Time and Attendance, and Customer Relations.
Atlanta, GA, September 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Infor today announced that For Every Body, a Utah-based manufacturer and retailer of candles, air fresheners, home décor, scrapbook supplies, and bath and body products, implemented Infor ERP VISUAL to increase productivity, streamline its operations, and enhance customer service. The company selected multiple modules to expand VISUAL’s core capabilities, including CRM, Financials, and Employee Time & Attendance.
Infor ERP VISUAL supports For Every Body’s complete business lifecycle, from planning to producing and delivering. Through a graphical user interface, the system handles material requirements planning, advanced planning and scheduling, manufacturing execution, and quality management. Designed for small to midsized manufacturers, the software has core capabilities that enable For Every Body to optimize its organizational resources and strengthen its competitive position.
“As one of the largest and fastest growing candle and home décor manufacturers in the United States, we required a new, comprehensive enterprise resource planning system to support our growth and optimize organizational resources,” said Paul Anderson, CEO of For Every Body. “We selected Infor ERP VISUAL because it delivers robust built-in functionality for our global business operations, something that our previous system could not do. VISUAL’s faster implementation methodology provides us with a lower total cost of ownership and a quicker return on investment.”
For Every Body’s products are worldwide, which requires a financial solution that accommodates multiple currencies at both ends of the supply chain. Infor ERP VISUAL’s Financials module provides a complete enterprise solution to meet the company’s accounting needs and manages the consolidation of charts of accounts between business units and divisions. The solution provides the company with a user-friendly system to respond to inquiries using real-time data of financial transactions in various countries.
For Every Body uses Infor ERP VISUAL’s CRM (Customer Relationship Management) module to improve price quoting and management of customer data. The integrated CRM module connects the sales and marketing efforts with the company’s back-office functions, providing the necessary tools and information to manage prospects, customer accounts, contracts, quoting, and sales and marketing campaigns. Additionally, Infor ERP VISUAL integrates with the company’s existing warehouse management system, providing up-to-the-minute visibility into product inventory levels and location. By integrating CRM functionality with accurate inventory information, the company can provide real-time product status and bolster its customer service capabilities.
Infor ERP VISUAL Time & Attendance automates data tracking for the more than 150 employees of For Every Body, reducing wasted time and saving money. Inaccurate time entries can cost companies ten minutes of productive time per employee, per day. The Time & Attendance module significantly reduces inaccuracies and seamlessly integrates with the company’s third-party payroll provider, creating a unified process for payroll management. The module also applies compensation rules when calculating earnings and exports the data to For Every Body’s payroll processor, enhancing legal compliance and policy consistency.
“Infor ERP VISUAL is the ideal enterprise resource planning system to fuel business growth for growing manufacturing companies like For Every Body,” said Kevin Piotrowski, director, discrete industry and product marketing, Infor. “Thousands of companies around the world rely on VISUAL to create production efficiencies, reduce waste and errors, provide operational transparency, and increase customer satisfaction.”
