Expanding your business means utilizing an effective Enterprise Resource Planning system; from manufacturing to transportation needs, it’s important that operations can be effectively streamlined. By using ShipHawk’s Transportation Management System (TMS)—an advanced shipping software—and Warehouse Management System (WMS) for Infor’s ERPs, managing your business can become seamless, efficient, and more productive. 

By focusing on the unique needs of specific industries, ShipHawk and Infor can make business processes easier to manage, especially when it comes to matching the ever-expanding warehouse and shipping needs that inherently comes with general business growth. Of course, Infor provides effective WMS and shipping tools, but when the volume of customers grow or these tools become cost prohibitive, that’s when ShipHawk comes in to ensure customers have access to affordable and expansive warehouse and shipping functions. Together, ShipHawk’s integration with Infor can ensure that your business operations flow smoothly and successfully.

Understanding Infor’s Features

Infor is designed for all different types of businesses. From small to medium-sized enterprises to expansive industries, Infor is the ideal solution for those who want an organizational system that fits their ever-changing needs and expectations. Infor is especially vital for niche productions, as industries like aerospace and defense, automotive, and distribution are especially reliant on Infor’s ERPs. 

By incorporating leading-edge technology, Infor has established five ERP solutions—Infor M3, Infor LN, Financials and Supply Management, Syteline, and SunSystems—that are specifically tailored to your industry in order to support and grow your needs, especially for smaller enterprises who need that extra boost. Incorporating one of their ERP solutions can elevate your business, as its cloud-based efficiency, real-time data flow, and tailored workflows are all strategic tools that bring forth great success. 

Paired with ShipHawk, any shipping or warehouse issue that’s plaguing your business operations will be taken care of, especially when it comes to our integration with Syteline; this system simplifies complex manufacturing processes with its ability to meet changing market conditions and innovate key processes for more productivity. When Syteline is coupled with ShipHawk’s TMS and WMS, we fill in the gaps and enhance the perks that Infor provides.

ShipHawk and Infor: Two Peas In A Pod

While Infor’s ERP solutions are robust and efficient, ShipHawk’s integration can take Infor’s strengths to another level by reinforcing optimization. 

ShipHawk’s WMS manages the physical space of the warehouse and its platform for user processes prior to shipping. By combining Infor with ShipHawk’s WMS, you’ll receive fast improvements in every aspect. From things like boosting efficiency across distribution centers to reducing inventory handling, the collaboration between ShipHawk and Infor will allow your industry to thrive and prosper. More benefits include:

• Leveraging license plate best practices for inventory traceability. 
• Ensuring order accuracy with flexible scan-pack verification.
• Meeting customer documentation needs and packaging standards. 
• Increasing efficiency and reducing expenses using current workforce.
• Meeting EDI label and cartonization requirements. 
• Improving inventory accuracy with advanced cycle counting capabilities. 

Additionally, ShipHawk’s TMS shipping software for Infor incorporates modern solutions, as ShipHawk supports advanced operations like multi-carrier rating and smart packing so everything runs smoothly. Other benefits you’ll receive include: 

• Multi-carrier rating for parcel, LTL (less-than-truckload), FTL (full-truckload), and freight broker services in one platform.
• Workflow automation with custom business logic to meet your business needs.
• Automatically rate all orders and optimize based on cost, time, service level, carrier, carrier type, and more. 
• Custom shipping documentation—packing slips, bills of lading (BOLs), commercial invoices, etc. 

ShipHawk also offers ShipHawk Audit, which can automate and streamline the process of collecting and adjusting freight and parcel invoices to uncover cost recovery opportunities, analyze carrier performance, and negotiate contacts with carriers. With ShipHawk’s handheld dimensioner, you can streamline how you capture weights and dimensions of all of your products,  which reduces the amount of manual effort required.
