INFOR NEXUS CHANGES THE GAME

It’s a global, complex and interconnected world when it comes to the supply chain – not just digitally, but in how we fulfill customer orders from source to delivery. For most global organizations, first and last mile shipments are usually by truck, but before they get to the truck they have typically been shipped across continents by ocean, air and rail. Those shipments can move directly to customers or through several regional distribution centers (DCs) that serve as forward inventory locations and consolidation hubs to best service customers and channel partners. 

Recognizing a critical need for better in-transit, end-to-end visibility throughout this complex supply chain, Molex sought out a solution to its supply chain management requirements with an eye for better serving its customers despite widespread disruption.

“The Molex users now, all across the supply chain, have a real-time view of what’s going on with orders, shipments, status, products and inventory throughout the end-to-end supply chain – and getting predictive and prescriptive insights so that way they can quickly respond to delays and problems before they impact the customer.”

Why This Matters

  • Infor Nexus Control Center reduces time required for information search and analysis, allowing more focus on issue resolution, optionality and  communication.

  • A full-featured, highly-integrated Supply Chain Control Center provides comprehensive, end-to-end supply chain visibility that align and benefit order fulfillment processes and ultimately Molex customer experience.

  • Integration of system transactions and shipment information like sales orders, delivery notes, shipments, purchase and stock transport orders, goods receipts and live air and ocean functionality offer true end-to-end visibility.

THE INFOR CONTROL CENTER

The brain of Infor’s platform is the Infor Control Center that allows the user to see all relevant information in one screen, with the capability to drill deeper as required. The Control Center enables more timely stock sharing between supply chain hubs and manufacturing plants, easing stress on plants in times of capacity constraint. The solution provides visibility into potential disruption to the Molex supply chain to head off down-level delivery challenges.
