Infor offers a complete range of supply chain solutions that help companies capitalize on growth opportunities and increase profitability.
Infor SCM for third-party logistics providers (3PLs) provides a comprehensive supply chain solution, from network design, transportation planning, and route planning and dispatch, to warehouse management and billing. Leading 3PLs rely on Infor solutions to increase revenues and improve profitability, operational efficiency, costing, and billing processes. Infor SCM for 3PLs enables logistics providers to select customers for profitability, streamline business development processes to ensure fair and accurate Request for Proposal and Request for Quote processes, enhance operations efficiency and effectiveness through better transportation and warehouse management, and cost, bill and charge to ensure payment for services rendered.
NFI Industries, a leading third-party logistics leader, with an over-the-road fleet of more than 10,000 tractors and trailers and 15 million sq. ft. of warehousing nationwide, utilizes a range of Infor solutions including Infor SCM Warehouse Management 4000, Infor SCM Warehouse Management FOURSITE, Infor SCM Transportation Planning, and Infor SCM Network Design.

This allows us to offer our customers low operational overhead in smaller operations while also delivering the advanced capabilities we need to manage more complex warehouse operations.”
Over the years, NFI has relied on Infor solutions to grow its business and capitalize on trends, such as handling containers direct from China and managing distribution of goods to distribution and retail centers across the nation.
“NFI is an example of a logistics provider that goes the extra mile to add value to its customers,” said Wilson Rothschild, senior manager, industry and product marketing, Infor SCM. “Our relationship with NFI is characteristic of the strong partnerships we form with 3PLs, providing them with the best-in-class software solutions they need to retain customers and rapidly scale to acquire new ones.”
