Originally developed for job-based and custom manufacturing workflows, VISUAL excels in discrete manufacturing, engineer-to-order (ETO), and make-to-order (MTO) environments where accuracy and traceability directly impact profitability.
Key Capabilities of Infor VISUAL ERP
Advanced Production Scheduling
VISUAL’s signature graphical scheduling tool offers real-time insight into capacity, material availability, and job status. Planners can re-prioritize work, eliminate bottlenecks, and improve on-time delivery performance.
Job Costing & Estimating
VISUAL tracks labor, material, subcontracting, and overhead by job, enabling accurate quotes and detailed profitability analysis. Manufacturers can compare planned vs. actual costs to drive financial control.
Inventory & Supply Chain Management
Full visibility across raw materials, WIP, and finished goods ensures the right materials are available when needed. Automated purchasing and replenishment reduce shortages, rush orders, and excess stock.
Quality Management
Integrated inspection, non-conformance, and corrective action tracking help manufacturers maintain compliance with ISO and industry standards while improving product consistency.
Financials & Business Intelligence
VISUAL links operational activity to financial reporting, enabling leaders to monitor margins, analyze performance trends, and make informed, data-driven decisions.
