Optimize Your Service Performance

Providing quick response times and more first-call resolutions are the key to increased field technician productivity—and improved customer satisfaction.

SM-Plus Mobile for Infor ERP SyteLine helps you equip your technicians with mobile devices, such as hand-held wireless devices and laptops, so that they can stay connected and productive. It bridges the gap between the field and the back office to:

• Improve operating efficiencies and boost customer satisfaction.
• Stop double entry of work order data
• Eliminate paper-based work orders, time sheets, and expense reports
• Optimize up-sell opportunities
• Improve scheduling and dispatch processes

Join this webinar to find out how your company can improve efficiencies throughout the service delivery process. See how SM-Plus Mobile helps field personnel maintain access to vital information—such as parts inventory, unit configuration, maintenance history, and warranty status—and update incident reports as well as track labor/time and material expenses.

Carrying too much inventory wastes money…and carrying too little can result in lost sales or late shipments. But Infor ERP SyteLine Forecasting can help you right size your inventory in make-to-stock and make-to-order environments by forecasting sellable items or components.

This webinar will show you how to minimize excess inventory and shortages by improving your forecasting and inventory planning process. We will review the various inventory planning methods that can be used with SyteLine including MRP\APS, Reorder Point, and Lean\Kanban. We will also look at alternative ways to develop forecasts including statistical and collaborative methods.

Find out how to implement a closed loop planning process that compares planned demand and supply and compares your plan against what actually happened. See a demonstration of how the forecasting and inventory planning process can be automated by statistically calculating and monitoring the SyteLine “inventory drivers”, resulting in lower inventory and fewer shortages.

Learn how other manufacturers are eliminating the fudge factor and automating their forecasting processes with a solution integrated with their Infor ERP SyteLine system.
