Moore Concrete Cements Foundations for Growth with Inforlogic & Infor CloudSuite Industrial

Inforlogic today announced that precast concrete leader, Moore Concrete, has deployed Infor CloudSuite Industrial. As part of a modernisation programme the platform will support greater visibility and control across manufacturing operations to optimise performance and profit margins. In parallel, access to integrated intelligence on the production lifecycle will enhance the customer experience as sales and service teams will be able to communicate status updates and delivery schedules with greater accuracy in a few clicks.

Having outgrown its previous Sage 1000 ERP system, Moore Concrete undertook a detailed review of the market before selecting Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine) and Inforlogic. With ambitions to grow its business and consolidate its position as a world class manufacturing facility, the concrete leader selected Infor SyteLine based on its comprehensive deep manufacturing capabilities, cloud architecture and ability to scale. Inforlogic’s experience, expertise and ethos meant that they were a natural choice as a partner.

“As part of our review, we visited a number of reference sites and were impressed with what we saw,” comments Peter Steele, Digitalisation Manager, Moore Concrete. “Infor SyteLine is one of only a few ERP platforms with comprehensive manufacturing capabilities, and we particularly liked the fact we could roll it out with no need for third party applications, and minimal customisation.

“We now have cohesive, detailed insights on the entire production process, so can leverage BoMs to backflash materials, perform product analysis and quickly understand costings and margins. This is imperative as we operate in a highly competitive market and rely on this granular detail to refine price points. In parallel, this assists our sustainability programmes, as any excess materials can be pinpointed and managed to reduce waste.”

Looking ahead, Moore Concrete will leverage Infor SyteLine’s integrated document management (IDM) capabilities to move towards a truly paperless operation, while Factory Track will facilitate greater transparency in the production facility.

“Inforlogic’s business and technical consultants were incredibly knowledgeable throughout the project, clear and calm in their approach, and they were a great partner to have on this journey ,” he adds. “With quality and efficiency at the heart of our values, we are confident that we have the right digital foundations from which to deliver on this, and supported by the Inforlogic team, pursue growth and scale well into the future.”
