Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial)

The Manufacturing ERP Built for Complexity

Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI), known as SyteLine, is purpose-built for manufacturers. It brings finance, production, planning, supply chain, inventory, projects, service and analytics together in one integrated ERP platform.

Designed for discrete, process, mixed-mode and project-based manufacturing, Syteline supports complex environments including Engineer-to-Order (ETO).

But the right ERP is only part of the solution.

JPO Solutions combines specialist Infor SyteLine expertise with real-world manufacturing knowledge to help organisations implement, modernise, optimise and support CSI throughout its lifecycle.

What is your challenge?

01
Your ERP no longer fits the way you manufacture

THE CHALLENGE

Manufacturing businesses evolve. Products become more complex, customer requirements change and processes that once worked can become bottlenecks.

You may be dealing with:

Engineer-to-order or make-to-order production
Complex BOMs and routings
Multiple manufacturing methods
Project-based manufacturing
Multi-site or multi-company operations
Increasing product and customer variation

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

Built for manufacturing

Syteline is designed around industrial manufacturing processes, with capabilities spanning production, planning, materials, inventory, purchasing, order management, finance, projects and service.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

Built around your business

JPO starts with your business processes. We identify where Syteline can deliver value out of the box and where configuration, integration or development is appropriate.

The Result
An ERP environment aligned to your business - rather than forcing your business to work around the ERP.

02
Planning and production need one clear view

THE CHALLENGE

When demand, inventory, purchasing and production information sits across different systems, it can be difficult to understand what is really happening.

Do we have the materials we need?
Can we meet the customer's required date?
Where is production capacity constrained?
Which orders are at risk?

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

Connect demand, materials and production

Syteline connects demand, inventory, procurement and production to provide greater visibility across the manufacturing operation.

Advanced planning and scheduling capabilities help align demand and capacity.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

Turn functionality into practical processes

JPO reviews planning, scheduling, purchasing, inventory and shop-floor processes to identify opportunities to reduce manual intervention, improve data quality and give teams better information.

The Result
Better visibility. Better planning. Better decisions.

03Your legacy SyteLine environment is holding you back

THE CHALLENGE

Years of customisations, integrations, legacy processes and historical data can make upgrading or moving to the cloud feel risky.

What happens to our customisations?
Will our integrations still work?
What happens to our data?
How do we modernise without disrupting production?

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

A modern cloud platform for manufacturers

Syteline provides a modern cloud ERP platform with industry-specific functionality, integrated applications and an AWS-powered cloud architecture.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

A structured path to modernisation

JPO can assess your existing configurations, customisations, data, integrations and processes to determine the right approach — whether that means an upgrade, cloud migration or reimplementation.

For organisations moving from on-prem SyteLine to the cloud, JPO also offers Infor Leap, a structured cloud migration approach designed to reduce uncertainty and risk.

The Result
Modernise your ERP without throwing away the value of your existing investment.

04Too many systems. Not enough connected information

THE CHALLENGE

ERP rarely operates in isolation.

You may need Syteline to connect with:

CAD and engineering systems
CRM
E-commerce
Customer and supplier portals
MES and Factory Track
WMS and warehouse solutions
Finance and reporting platforms
Shipping and logistics
Business intelligence
Bespoke or legacy applications

Disconnected systems can mean duplicated data, manual entry and uncertainty over which information is correct.

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

Connect your technology ecosystem

Infor provides integration capabilities designed to connect applications, data and workflows across the enterprise.

The Syteline ecosystem can also be extended with solutions such as MES, WMS, PLM and CPQ.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

Connect Syteline to the systems you rely on

JPO brings expertise across Syteline, Infor OS, Mongoose, integrations, APIs and data.

We assess your technology landscape and develop practical integration strategies that connect Syteline with the wider business.

The Result
Less manual data entry. Fewer disconnected processes. Better information flowing through the business.

05You need more capability without more complexity

THE CHALLENGE

When every business requirement leads to another customisation, ERP can become harder to maintain, harder to upgrade and harder for users to understand.

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

Industry-specific functionality

Syteline provides preconfigured processes and functionality designed around industrial manufacturing, helping organisations reduce unnecessary customisation.

The modular Syteline ecosystem also allows additional capabilities to be introduced as the business evolves.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

The right solution, not simply more development

We consider standard Syteline functionality first, followed by configuration and integration, before considering custom development.

Where development is required, our SyteLine and Mongoose expertise helps create solutions that are practical, supportable and aligned with the underlying ERP architecture.

The Result
A more capable ERP without unnecessary complexity.

06Your ERP project must keep delivering after Go-Live

THE CHALLENGE

An ERP project affects the whole organisation - from finance and engineering to production, purchasing, sales, supply chain and senior management.

A technically successful Go-Live doesn't automatically mean the business is getting the value it expected.

WHAT DOES SYTELINE DO?

A platform designed to support the complete business

Syteline brings together manufacturing, planning, supply chain, finance, projects, service and analytics in one integrated platform.

WHAT DOES JPO DO?

Support throughout the ERP lifecycle

JPO provides expertise from advisory and implementation through to upgrades, optimisation, development and ongoing support.

Our services include:

ERP implementation
SyteLine and CSI upgrades
Cloud migration
ERP optimisation
Project recovery
Business process improvement
Functional and technical consultancy
Custom development
Integration and data migration
Managed services and ongoing support

The Result
Your ERP continues to deliver value long after Go-Live.
