Infor (United Kingdom) Ltd
About us
Infor is a global leader in business cloud software for industry-specific markets. Rather than retrofitting a generic platform to fit manufacturing, Infor builds complete industry suites in the cloud, designed around the user experience, backed by data science, and built to integrate easily into the systems you already run. Over 60,000 organisations worldwide rely on Infor to work through market disruption and lead digital transformation on their own terms.
Metal fabrication puts that philosophy to the test. Sheet, plate, bar, and coil don't behave like standard discrete parts. Material costs move between the day you quote and the day you ship. Yield, scrap, and dimensional accuracy shape your margin as much as labour and overhead do. And your customers expect tolerances, certifications, and traceability that no spreadsheet can hold together after the fact.
Most ERP systems were never built for that reality. They treat metal as a count in a bin, push fabricators into workarounds for dimensional inventory, and hide margin exposure until the job is already closed. Infor was built differently.
Industry-specific from the ground up
Infor serves over 67,000 organisations in more than 175 countries, and for metal fabricators, that specificity shows up in the details. Sheet, plate, bar, and coil are tracked by grade, gauge, finish, and size, not just part number and quantity. Remnants, offcuts, and reusable drop pieces stay visible and controlled. Material reallocates as job priorities shift, and all of it flows straight through to costing, scheduling, and quality, with no manual reconciliation in between.
Protecting your margin when prices move
Raw material volatility is one of the toughest pressures in fabrication. Steel and aluminium prices can shift between quote and shipment, and margin erodes quietly if nothing catches it. Infor's ERP catches it: material surcharges apply automatically on sales and purchase documents, actual costs track against estimates in real time, and your operations and finance teams see job profitability while the work is still in progress, not just after it closes.
From quote to delivery, connected
Infor supports the full fabrication workflow, from quoting that accounts for options, finishes, and dimensional requirements, through multi-level bills of materials and routings for cutting, forming, welding, and finishing, to advanced planning and scheduling built around your real capacity and material constraints. Subcontract management covers outside processing like heat treatment, powder coating, or galvanising, and quality management closes the loop with tolerance-based inspections and corrective actions, all in one unified system.
If you run high-mix, low-volume, or engineer-to-order work, flexible BOMs, configurable routings, and job costing keep custom jobs profitable without manual workarounds. If you run multiple sites, automated intercompany controls, global planning, and standardised material definitions keep every plant consistent, without losing the local visibility each site needs.
AI embedded where it matters
Infor's platform includes built-in AI, generative, predictive, and agentic, embedded directly into fabrication workflows rather than bolted on top of disconnected data. Because it's grounded in one operational model spanning estimating, engineering, shop floor execution, inventory, quality, sourcing, and financials, it can surface risk earlier, flag exceptions before they become shipment problems, and support decisions exactly when you need to make them.
Oberg Industries, a global contract manufacturer of precision stamped and machined metal components, moved to Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise to unify planning and operations, and now runs at approximately 90% on-time delivery, with productivity gains driven by automation and process intelligence.
Recognised by analysts. Proven in the industry.
Infor has been named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Cloud ERP for Product-Centric Enterprises for five consecutive years, and eleven of the top 15 industrial manufacturers worldwide run on Infor.
Come and talk to us
At UK Metals Expo 2026, the Infor team is here for straightforward conversations about ERP that fits the way metal fabricators actually work, not the way a generic system assumes you do. Whether you're evaluating your first cloud ERP, managing a multi-site consolidation, or chasing better visibility into margin and material costs, we're here to help you ask the right questions and find the right fit.
There's another way. ERP built for metal, not bent to fit it. Stand C104.
