Lineage Logistics Selects Infor's Cloud-Based Supply Chain

Infor, a provider of business applications specialized by industry and built for the cloud, recently announced that Lineage Logistics has successfully implemented Infor Supply Chain Execution (SCE) version 10.3 in a cloud-hosted environment. Lineage, one of the largest temperature-controlled warehousing and logistics companies in the world, sought to improve process efficiencies while consolidating Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). By moving to a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model for hosting core supply chain systems, Lineage is able to create a more stable and more scalable business ecosystem, which can help them deliver better inventory visibility and more dynamic allocation to their customers. As a logistics provider, Lineage serves customers that operate with considerable sensitivities to disruptions or delays, which made it critical to find a strategic partner like Infor to help deliver a more rapid, yet made-to-order, implementation process.  

Lineage supports a wide variety of WMS systems as a result of various acquisitions activities made over the last several years. To help improve enterprise-wide processes, the organization is undertaking a consolidation initiative with the goal of making each warehouse activity more efficient. Lineage selected Infor as one of their strategic partners for this initiative to help minimize disruptions and delays that could impact Lineage customers. In choosing and implementing Infor SCE in the cloud, Lineage gains a highly scalable solution that combines enhanced warehouse management functionality, labor management, and 3PL billing and transportation execution in a single, unified cloud-enabled solution.
