Manufacturers are constantly looking for ways to do more with the resources they already have. Whether it's reducing manual data entry, speeding up approvals, improving visibility into operations, or helping employees focus on higher-value work, the challenge is often the same: How do you improve efficiency without taking on a massive software project?

How Can Infor Value+ Help with Everyday Tasks?
The real value of Value+ isn't just the technology—it's how that technology simplifies daily work.
Reduce Manual Data Entry
Many manufacturing teams still spend significant time entering invoices, creating purchase orders, routing approvals, and managing documentation.
With Enterprise Automations, repetitive tasks can be automated, reducing errors and freeing employees to focus on strategic activities rather than administrative work.
Speed Up Approvals
Approvals often become bottlenecks when requests sit in email inboxes or require multiple manual touchpoints.
When approvals get stuck in inboxes, purchasing slows down, customer commitments get delayed, and employees spend time chasing signatures. Value+ automates those workflows so requests move forward without constant follow-up
Improve Customer Service
Customer service teams frequently need information from multiple systems before they can respond to customers.
Role-based workspaces bring relevant information together, allowing representatives to resolve issues faster and provide better service with less effort.
Gain Better Visibility Into Operations
Most manufacturers aren't suffering from a lack of data. They're suffering from too much of it. Valuable information lives across reports, spreadsheets, email chains, and ERP screens. Value+ Insights helps surface opportunities and exceptions automatically so managers can spend less time hunting for answers.
Value+ Insights uses AI to identify trends and opportunities that may otherwise go unnoticed, helping managers proactively address issues and uncover new opportunities for improvement.
Increase Productivity Across Departments
When employees spend less time searching for information, entering data, or managing manual workflows, productivity naturally improves.
There are many customer examples in which organizations achieved significant productivity gains and faster issue resolution by leveraging Value+ solutions to streamline processes and centralize information.
Fast Time-to-Value Without a Major IT Project
One of the biggest advantages of Infor Value+ is that these solutions are pre-built and designed to work with your existing Infor environment.
Instead of developing custom applications from scratch, organizations can deploy proven solutions that address common business challenges and begin seeing results quickly. Many Value+ implementations achieve measurable value in less than 90 days, with some solutions delivering benefits in under a week.
Innovation That Delivers Real Business Results
Today's manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and respond quickly to changing customer demands. Infor Value+ provides a practical path to innovation by combining AI, automation, and industry-specific functionality that can be implemented quickly and deliver measurable business outcomes.
Whether you're looking to automate routine tasks, improve decision-making, or empower employees with better tools, Infor Value+ offers a way to extend the value of your ERP investment while making everyday work easier.
