Brazilian textile company Brandili is implementing Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise with the aim to digitally transform the business.
Brandili says it selected Infor LN as its ERP, and Infor OS – a low-code platform that facilitates integration or ERP with other IT solutions already used by Brandili.
Infor OS also adds Infor ERP tools such as business intelligence, analytics, artificial intelligence and machine learning to help automate processes.
Jônatas Schmitt, digital transformation manager at Brandili, says: “Infor solutions are developed with HTML5, which enables ERP information to adjust to any device, desktop or mobile connected to internet.
“ERP information can also be accessed with mobile applications connected to the solution. The goal of this strategic activity is to obtain operational efficiency.”
The Infor CloudSuite technology allows Brandili to centralise its database with information like prices, quantity, terms, suppliers and taxes according to the company.
Waldir Bertolino, country manager at Infor Brazil, says: “Our tool is developed to fulfill specific needs of the manufacturing sector, and to enable activities management in agile and efficient operations.”
He adds: “We are enhancing Brandili’s value chain and collaborating to guarantee growth in the long term. This involves reducing costs in data maintenance, infrastructure and upgrades.”
Brandili’s partnership with Infor is part of the textile manufacturer’s industrial modernisation plan, which includes investing R$10m (US$1.82m) in new technology and launching its own ecommerce solution.
Approximately 80% of resources are assigned to process management tools, with Infor CloudSuite as the main application.
All Infor CloudSuite solutions are hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), which the company says allows for scalability and back-ups.
Schmitt comments: “Customers are our priority. We renewed our partnership to help us on this road to transform our business that, due to textile industry complexity, requires implementation of more robust software.”
Brazil was featured in International Production Cost Comparison (IPCC) from ITML last month. The report measures the manufacturing costs of different textile products in the primary textile industry. This is broken down into various cost elements at each stage of the value chain.
It found that Brazil ranked sixth in for total cost of producing a finished metre of woven fabric (CO, COW), by segment (USD$/m).
