Why LTM Moved from Infor to iTexClouds: A Textile-Focused ERP That Delivers Simplicity, Support, and Seamless Growth
Discover why LTM switched from Infor to iTexClouds – an ERP built for textile simplicity, superior support,
and scalable growth designed for evolving business needs.
LTM, a fast-growing textile manufacturer, realized that their previous ERP — Infor — could no longer support their day-to-day operations effectively. Although Infor is a well-known ERP, it was not optimized for textile workflows, and the system demanded heavy customization just to perform routine tasks.
LTM needed a solution built for textile operations and a partner who understood the complexities of the industry. That’s when they chose iTexClouds ERP.
The Challenge with Infor
As LTM expanded, Infor became increasingly difficult to manage. The team faced:
- A complex, non-intuitive interface
- Long onboarding times that slowed new hires
- Continuous customization to match textile processes
- Rigid workflows that didn’t reflect how textile teams actually work
- Delayed response times from support teams
Instead of helping productivity, Infor added friction to daily operations.
Why LTM Chose iTexClouds as the Replacement for Infor
1. Superior Customer Support
From the very beginning, iTexClouds delivered a level of support that LTM had never experienced with Infor.
- Immediate, reliable communication
- Personalized onboarding for each department
- Continuous follow-up throughout the migration process
- A team that anticipated needs and resolved issues quickly
For LTM, the support difference alone justified the move.
2. Easy-to-Use, Modern Interface
iTexClouds brought clarity and simplicity that Infor lacked.
- Clean, intuitive screens
- Minimal training required
- Easier navigation for staff across all levels
- Faster daily operations and fewer errors
The transition to iTexClouds immediately boosted team efficiency.
3. Purpose-Built for the Textile Industry
Unlike Infor’s generic architecture, iTexClouds is designed specifically for textile and apparel operations, offering:
- Fabric and yarn inventory management
- Batch and lot tracking
- Dyeing, knitting, weaving, cutting, and finishing workflows
- Apparel order management tailored for size sets and colorways
Because the solution fits the industry, LTM needed far less customization than they did with Infor.
Results After Migrating from Infor to iTexClouds
Once the migration was complete, LTM experienced significant improvements:
- Faster production planning
- Streamlined communication across departments
- Better visibility and more accurate reporting
- Reduced manual work and fewer operational errors
- Higher employee adoption and satisfaction
- Faster onboarding for new staff
The ERP finally worked the way their business worked — not the other way around.
Looking Ahead
Switching from Infor to iTexClouds wasn’t just a software change for LTM — it was a transformation in how their organization operates. With a system built for textiles and a support team committed to their success, LTM now runs with clarity, speed, and confidence.
