Expanding Marketplace extends ERP functionality and leverages AI 01 November 2023

Infor, an industry Cloud company, has continued the momentum of its Infor Marketplace, which now showcases more than 150 software solutions – including partner-developed applications that extend the functionality of Infor enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, as well as Infor content that leverages Infor platform technology and OpenAI’s ChatGPT language model.

Several new partner solutions enable users to extend the capabilities of Infor’s M3 and LN ERP systems – serving the manufacturing, distribution and services industries. Plus, new Infor solutions leveraging Infor platform technologies (Infor OS, Coleman AI) and generative AI models, such as ChatGPT, will help improve the user experience with Infor CloudSuite solutions.

Massimo Capoccia, chief innovation officer at Infor, explains: “The Infor Marketplace showcases Infor’s large and growing partner network, with more than half of the solutions now consisting of partner-developed Apps. This expanding enterprise software ecosystem provides users with the convenience, flexibility and confidence to deploy solutions that make their businesses more successful.”

One of those partner solutions is the Accure Cloud for M3, from partner Accure AB, and is a complete and natural output suite for Infor’s M3 ERP solution that helps users monitor and maintain the process and distribution of all documents, forms, labels, reports and more, in printed or electronic format. It is a complete CloudSuite, delivered as a service, which manages all output management from M3, including a unique transformation process for a safe and fast move to the M3 Cloud Edition. 

Other Cloud-based solutions on Infor Marketplace include one from LeaseQuery, which simplifies lease accounting and facilitates compliance for organisations across all sectors. The solution transfers accurate journal entries, disclosure and accounts payable reports seamlessly, maximising time savings and eliminating mistakes. From Infor partner Providence Consulting Group, comes its FOREX for Infor App LN Edition, delivering accurate international budgeting and analytics, amongst other complex financial transaction functionality.

When it comes to AI, one new solution on the Infor Marketplace is an Ask ChatGPT Widget, which is an intelligent tool combining the advanced capabilities of ChatGPT with the business context information in the Infor Cloud environment, in order to help Infor customers effectively ask specific questions of ChatGPT. A customer can, for example, ask for ideas on how to promote products they sell, or obtain feedback on an item or business partner, based on the information available in the general domain. Such widgets help optimise overall efficiency and effectiveness of Infor CloudSuite environments.
