A sixth-generation, family-owned textile manufacturer based in Canton, Massachusetts, has been a leader in producing high-quality knitted fabrics for various applications, including fashion, performance, industrial, and safety. Having successfully operated on Infor SyteLine ERP since 2012, the client recognized the need to modernize its systems to stay competitive and efficient in a rapidly evolving industry.

THE CHALLENGE:

Upgrading Legacy Systems for Enhanced Efficiency

Continuing with their outdated legacy ERP system, this manufacturer would be limited within their operational and strategic planning. The older system lacked modern automation and integration capabilities, leading to inefficiencies, manual workarounds, and increased risk of human error. As their business grew, the system was beginning to prove that it was not capable of scaling nor having the flexibility needed to support new requirements, and any customizations were costly and complex. Maintenance of the legacy system had become more and more expensive.

THE SOLUTION:

Transitioning to Infor CloudSuite Industrial on AWS

The company’s leadership sought to leverage the latest Infor ERP Cloud Solutions to reduce operational costs, eliminate the need for manual server maintenance, and ensure continuous access to up-to-date software features. Transitioning to a cloud-based ERP solution was the most optimal path for the client. Continuing their relationship with Copley Consulting Group, the client embarked on an upgrade to Infor CloudSuite Industrial (powered by SyteLine) hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). This move to a multi-tenant cloud environment offers strategic benefits including always operating on the latest software version to eliminate the need for back up procedures and server maintenance. By modernizing their solution, they will be able to stay competitive with advanced features like predictive analytics, smart manufacturing tools, and streamlined workflows.

THE RESULT:

Streamlined Operations and Continued Excellence

The successful migration to Infor CloudSuite Industrial has positioned our client to maintain its history of excellent service while embracing modern technology. By upgrading to Infor CloudSuite Industrial on AWS, the client has had substantial improvements across their operations. The transition to a cloud-based ERP eliminated the limitations of their legacy system, streamlining processes and reducing manual workloads through automation and seamless integration with MES, WMS, and IoT technologies. Real-time data access improved decision-making, while the multi-tenant cloud environment ensured continuous updates and reduced IT overhead by removing the need for internal server maintenance. The company also gained the flexibility and scalability necessary to support ongoing growth and evolving business needs. With access to features such as predictive analytics they are positioned to drive innovation, and maintain a strong competitive edge in the market.
