Customer Profile:
Customer is a well-known technical textile manufacturer with a global presence, specializing in producing advanced materials used in automotive, medical, and protective applications.
Problem Statement:
Our customer was using Infor ERP to manage its complex manufacturing operations. However, as the company expanded, several critical issues arose:
