Accelerate digital transformation in Machine Building

Industry-specific ERP for the complete lifecycle
Non-committal Strategy Consultation

Machine builders deliver unique or configured machines with long engineering lead times and service over decades. Moreover, the value is shifting from the machine itself to service, parts, and data-driven business models. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for machine building – from bid to service.

Your challenges

  • Engineer-to-order alongside configure-to-order. Unique machines and configured variants on the same shop floor.
  • Long project lead times. Insight into planning, costs, and hours is difficult to maintain without an integrated platform.
  • Aftermarket as a margin source. Service and parts often deliver more margin than the original sale.
  • Global installed base. Field service and retrofits across locations require mobile, connected processes.
  • Shortage of technical staff. Your systems must make the most of the available workforce and knowledge.

Our industry-specific solution

Xibis delivers with Infor CloudSuite an industry-specific core for machine builders:

  • Complete customer lifecycle. From quote and project to production, installation, warranty, and field service in one solution.
  • CPQ for modular and configured machines. Sales configurator linked to engineering and production, with rule-based validation.
  • Project management with cost pegging. Real-time insight into plan versus actuals, earned value, and intercompany work.
  • Aftermarket and mobile field service. Warranty, depot repair, rental, and mobile service – connected and offline capable.
  • PLM and engineering change embedded. As-designed, as-built, and as-maintained BOMs synchronized across the lifecycle.

Why Xibis

  • Industry-specific for machine building. ETO, CTO, MTO, and MTS side by side – built in, not bolted on.
  • 35+ years of Benelux experience. We know the reality of projects, prototypes, and service on older installed bases.
  • Beyond ERP. CPQ, PLM, MES, and portals under one roof.

Digitalization in Metal & Mechatronics: opportunities and challenges

Metal and mechatronics companies combine sheet metal and machining work, assembly and software. Customer-specific work and repeat series run on the same machines, while margins are under pressure and technical staff are scarce. Infor CloudSuite is industry-specific for this hybrid reality.

Control over complex and diverse processes

Combine a mix of complex processes (ETO, CTO, ATO, MTO) in one smart ERP platform. With Infor CloudSuite you gain control over mix-mode production through seamless integration with CPQ (for sales configurations) and PLM (for engineering data). This allows you to manage all core processes – from quote to delivery and service – fully data-driven and process-controlled.

Infor Cloudsuite

Configure quotes faster, smarter and error-free

Streamline the quoting process with Infor CPQ: flawlessly configure complex products with 2D and 3D visualizations and generate quotes including pricing and specifications at lightning speed. Everything directly integrated with your ERP, enabling you to accelerate sales, reduce costs and differentiate your brand with a unique customer experience.

Infor CPQ

Accelerate innovation with streamlined product lifecycle management

Infor PLM integrates design data with ERP and production processes, eliminating duplicate entry and centralizing version management. This gives you control over variants, BOMs, and changes at every stage of the product – from concept to delivery – and accelerates time-to-market with a single source of truth in data.

Infor PLM
