Infor ERP integration: managing spend and processes smarter

01 April 2025

John Schouten, Director Product Management | ISPnext

Do you use an Infor ERP solution, such as Infor M3 or Infor LN? Then you know how important such a system is for the day-to-day management of your organisation. But for those who really want to get a grip on expenditure, suppliers and compliance, a smart link to a Business Spend Management platform is a logical next step. An Infor integration helps you get more out of your ERP environment - without turning the system itself upside down.

According to John Schouten, Director Product Management at ISPnext, this is exactly where the power lies: "A BSM platform works together with your ERP system, it does not replace it. But it is a necessity if you want to get all facets of expense management right."

Why an Infor integration makes a difference

"Infor CloudSuite is a solid foundation for operational processes,’ says John. ‘But for things like invoice processing, contract management and supplier management, a specialised solution offers much more flexibility."

An integration with a BSM platform makes this possible, among other things:

  • Real-time visibility into approval flows and expenses
  • Automatic matching of purchase orders, receipts and invoices
  • A single dashboard for ESG compliance
  • Efficient collaboration between Finance and Procurement

This prevents important information from becoming fragmented or visible only when it is too late.

Infor LN or Infor M3 - which suits your organisation?

Infor LN and Infor M3 are both powerful systems, but each has its own specialisation:

  • Infor LN is suitable for companies that work on a project basis, such as in high-tech or manufacturing industries. The system supports processes such as configure-to-order and complex supply chains.
  • Infor M3 is often used in industries such as food & beverage, chemicals or fashion. Think batch production, inventory management and distribution.

Whatever variant you use: a smart Infor ERP integration ensures that processes such as contract management, digital invoice processing and compliance reporting continue to run smoothly and clearly.

What does an Infor integration deliver?

A powerful integration between your Infor ERP software and a BSM platform gives you not only technical benefits, but also strategic insight. This gives you:

  • Full overview of your expenses, down to supplier level
  • Ability to intervene faster in case of deviations or risks
  • Better compliance thanks to smart data links
  • Reduced workload through automated workflows
  • Greater collaboration between Finance and Procurement
  • Smooth updates of Infor software without disruptions

"You no longer want to rely on manual checks," John explains. "An integration provides peace of mind as well as an overview."

One interface for the entire procurement process

ERP systems are often strong in transaction processing, but offer little convenience for day-to-day users. An Infor cloud integration with a modern BSM platform provides a user-friendly interface where all information comes together.

"Users then work in one environment with up-to-date data," says John. "That makes work easier and more effective."

Flexible and ready for what is to come

A good Infor BSM integration grows with your organisation. Whether a new module is needed, legislation changes or Infor comes out with an update - the solution adapts easily. That makes it scalable and future-proof.

"Because everything runs in the cloud and is modular, you can easily expand without large IT projects," says John.

Infor ERP integration in practice

Whether you're working with Infor M3, Infor LN or another solution within the Infor software portfolio, integrating with a Business Spend Management platform helps you get more out of your data, processes and teams. Think better control over costs, faster operations and greater assurance of compliance.
