Cons
"The interface can be difficult sometimes. I need to apply a bar code system, such as business intelligence and user interface tools. The user has to be a technician sometimes to use it.""In general, the HR-related part of Infor LN doesn't work properly in Germany, making it an area that requires improvement.""The finance model within this solution does not have very strong reporting functionality, which I would like to see improved.""I would like to see the CRM improved. I would also like to see a supply chain management feature.""From a customers' perspective, Infor LN covers most of the processes in the company, but sometimes, they have to choose other tools because of the functionality or the cost of the Infor solution. It covers the core functions of the company—such as financial, operations, logistics, and so on—very well, but it doesn't cover some parts such as invoices, digitization, etc.""The user interface is not very intuitive for newer users.""When it comes to planning, it's more challenging to consider the entire structure, such as having a specific SKU and wanting to look at the planning for the whole structure. You must delve into individual item details to plan for it with order planning. Therefore, improvements will allow more comprehensive planning for each SKU.""The tool is expensive. It needs to refine its planning details."
