The role of heavy equipment in today’s industries can never be underestimated. Software leader Infor, led by CEO Charles Phillips, has decided to invest in the development of products specifically for CAT dealers. This creation of new software made especially for hardware is recognized as a giant step in providing the equipment industry with the innovation it had needed for the longest time.



The equipment industry may be described as the hand that makes the rise and fall of industries possible. It provides the means through which infrastructure essential to business operations are both built and leveled. Infor’s investment will go a long way in ensuring that the equipment industry is better able to provide its services to more customers.

After Charles Phillips became CEO, Infor noticeably changed its perspective toward one that is focused on product development. Its decision to invest in the development of new software for the equipment industry may be considered as an offshoot of this shift, and is anticipated to increase profits for CAT dealers through added control of equipment lifecycles.



Infor established a center for innovation in Stockholm, Sweden dedicated solely to the development of solutions for the equipment industry. It is composed of over 200 Infor employees employed in the areas of development, consulting, maintenance, support, and training. It also created the Infor CAT Dealership Advisory Council, a group led by dealers which will identify the most effective associated business processes that will provide maximum accessibility to a wide range of dealers.

Charles Phillips leads Infor to a new manufacturing world order

Charles Phillips has every reason to boast of Infor’s growth. The CEO of the famed maker of enterprise software oversaw his firm roll out a vastly improved Infor VISUAL, which has been the darling of heavy industries for systematizing operations.

VISUAL is probably Infor’s best upgrade for the business system it has successfully marketed to those in the manufacturing, defense, aerospace, medical technology, and automotive sectors. The improvement makes good use of Infor10 ERP Express’s original platform, but collapses the multiple legs of business operations into a single, smooth software.

Practically all-encompassing, Infor VISUAL offers lone installation for a range of manufacturing operations, including cost accounting and customer response. Charles Phillips should be feeling a ton of industrial weight on his shoulders as he manages Infor’s maintenance of VISUAL’s grand design.

The sophistication of the software relies on a scheduling algorithm that works available data into prepared responses for end users. For instance, orders could be easily assessed for costs, availability of materials, available schedules for delivery, and others. The speed of computation results from a mastery of business operations’ statistics, and with extensive ground coverage, a single collapse of VISUAL could push large-scale manufacturing into a grinding halt.

With VISUAL, Infor continues to push the envelope of enterprise software.
