German metals fabricator standardises on Infor ERP

The company is using the system to build end-to-end processes and to analyse, monitor and align key performance indicators, all through a single application across its business units. It’s a significant departure from the past for Hohage, which has been used to non-integrated, disparate solutions that had been heavily customised over time. The company was experiencing difficulties in efficiently running end-to-end manufacturing planning and execution, and says it needed a new system with global scale and manufacturing industry heritage. It expects the solution to help it optimise the entire production planning and management process from order entry to shipping, taking requirements for different product variants into account on the fly. “We have been impressed by Infor’s know-how in manufacturing,” says Johannes Kleinschnittger, executive associate at Hohage. KG. “We appreciate the flexibility Infor provides us. As we are now able to run individual analyses, drilling down to variant level, we gain absolute process transparency in manufacturing planning, management and logistics.”
