The software will boost the efficiency within the plant by integrating information across various departments within the company, and improve the visibility of processes. This will, according to the company, help continue Blake’s “aggressive growth strategy”. CloudSuite Industrial will also accelerate procurement processes and help develop accurate demand forecasting capabilities.
Blake has also integrated Infor’s Factory Track software to optimise resources on site, and has plans to also deploy Infor Xi and Ming.le to assist across various other business functions. As a result of the Infor solutions, Blake has been able to improve processes relating to the costs facing its customers, including order entry, EDI connectivity, delivery, inventory control and warehouse efficiency.
“Our strategy for growth has led us to invest heavily in our infrastructure and technology,” said John Purdy of Blake. “The financial stability of Infor, the extensibility of CloudSuite Industrial and the ability to sell configured items and store and track items in any location in our warehouse created a very compelling business case.”
