Bullet quote

“It was becoming more difficult to keep pace with our antiquated software packages, so we engaged Panorama Consulting to help us identify the optimal solution to meet our needs,” said Michael Shield, VP Engineering and Process Improvement, Bullet.

“From the onset of our search, it was clear that SyteLine was the solution that delivers processes built upon the needs of the customer, the flexibility and ease-of-use we need now, and a strong investment from Infor for the future.”

Infor quote

“Companies that experience high growth rates will leave profits on the table if they are unable to find a way to support increased demand with minimal increase on cost,” said Mark Humphlett, director, ERP Solution Marketing, Infor.

“Infor ERP SyteLine helps companies like Bullet Line turn growth into profits by making their existing workforces more productive with built-in industry best practices and real-time flow of information across the organisation.”
