ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) is a sophisticated software suite that encompasses all the aspects of running a manufacturing or distribution company. ERP enables those running these facilities to coordinate and plan across their enterprise. A complete ERP system would include such areas as forecasting, marketing, CRM, sales order management, purchasing, inventory control, engineering, material and capacity planning, supply chain, finance and accounting, quality control, management of plant assets, post-sale service and repair, and everything else that goes into making things - all on one platform. This creates faster and more accurate coordination across the company, saves time, and avoids having to track down the people who have the information you need. Management gets faster, more complete, and more accurate reporting and can react quickly to changes in the business.
Some of the questions a good ERP can answer for you are:
How do I know what to build or buy?
What does it cost to make my products?
What Purchase Orders are late?
Where are my bottlenecks?
Who should be working on what jobs on the floor?
How do I know what is on back-order?
What is the status of the jobs on the floor?
How do I forecast my future production needs?
and much much, more . . .
For a brief explanation of CloudSuite Industrial ERP,
watch this 2-minute video.
The best ERP Software is the one that meets your specific requirements and the requirements of your industry. For instance, Infor CloudSuite Industrial (also known as SyteLine) is the leading product in the Discrete Manufacturing space, in such industries as Industrial Equipment, Aerospace, Medical Devices, Injection Molding, Custom Fabrication, Engineer or Configure to order, and specialty vehicles. What most enterprises need is software that has out of the box functionality as well as a way to customize the software to fit their specific business. Industry-specific software (which is something Infor has spent quite a bit of time developing and refining) will fit most of your needs as is, without costly programming changes. However, it can still be personalized to fit your business for your unique requirements. This is where LogicData comes in. As an implementation partner, we not only help to get your ERP installed and running, our experts can also configure and personalize it to fit your particular needs. We are here to see that you succeed with your ERP system and are set up for future growth as well.
SyteLine runs on a Microsoft SQL Server database and uses Microsoft .Net languages (T-SQL, C#, VB.Net). All this is tied together with Infor's development platform - Mongoose.
Absolutely. The majority of customers currently adopting SyteLine are electing to deploy in a multi-tenant cloud, commonly referred to as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). For government agencies, we offer a Gov-Cloud secure SaaS environment for an additional charge.
Implementation timelines are dependent on the scope of your implementation:
Cost of software and implementation will vary based on many factors such as user count, functionality requirements, deployment (on-premises or SaaS), implementation methodology, customization, data conversion, integration and internal resources. For a basic configuration of CSI in the cloud, annual subscription pricing begins at approximately $24,000 for a minimum of 10 users. For an on-premises deployment of SyteLine alone, the minimum is 5 users with a perpetual license one-time cost of $18,000 plus annual maintenance. A primarily self-directed implementation of such a basic configuration, although not recommended, can likely be achieved for approximately $30,000. LogicData recommends our standard “train-the trainer” implementation approach that is estimated to start at roughly $65,000 for a basic implementation.

Because CloudSuite Industrial scales so well, it can be deployed in companies as small as $10M in annual revenue and on up to multi-national enterprises in the $Billions.
SyteLine is the core ERP system and would be the software someone would purchase when running the system on-premises. CloudSuite Industrial refers to a SaaS deployment which includes SyteLine as the core ERP system, but also provides an array of additional products as part of the “Suite”. These additional products include:
Because of its deep functionality SyteLine/CloudSuite Industrial is a great fit for several major manufacturing and distribution segments, including:
SyteLine/CloudSuite Industrial fits several styles of manufacturing, including:
SyteLine is built on Infor's Mongoose development platform, and Mongoose is included in your purchase. Mongoose allows you to highly personalize the environment to meet your unique business requirements. This includes:
