Fleet Management Integration for Infor CloudSuite
Infor manages your manufacturing and distribution. Locate2u manages the vehicles that deliver the finished product. Add real-time fleet tracking, route optimization, and driver analytics to your industry-specific ERP through the ION integration platform.
Why Infor Users Need Fleet Management
Infor Runs Your Factory Floor. Not Your Delivery Fleet.
Infor CloudSuite is purpose-built for industry-specific operations. Whether you run CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), CloudSuite Distribution (SX.e), or CloudSuite Food and Beverage, Infor delivers deep functionality for production planning, warehouse management, supply chain logistics, and industry compliance.
But Infor's logistics modules focus on warehouse-to-warehouse movement and supply chain orchestration. When it comes to the fleet of vehicles that delivers products to your end customers, Infor has no real-time GPS tracking, no delivery route optimization, no driver behavior analytics, and no mobile proof of delivery app. This means manufacturing and distribution companies have strong visibility inside their facilities but a blind spot the moment goods leave the loading dock.
Locate2u fills this gap by connecting to Infor through the ION API Gateway, extending your ERP with complete last-mile fleet management.
Pain Points Infor Users Face with Fleet Operations
Perfect Visibility Inside the Plant. Zero Outside It.
- Infor logistics stops at the dock door. Infor WMS handles put-away, picking, and packing beautifully. But once a pallet is loaded onto a delivery truck, the system loses sight of it. There is no vehicle tracking between your facility and the customer site.
- No route optimization for delivery fleets. Manufacturers who deliver their own products waste fuel and driver hours because Infor has no tool to sequence multi-stop delivery routes across a fleet of trucks or vans.
- No driver behavior data for safety compliance. Industrial companies face strict safety requirements. Without driver behavior monitoring (speeding, harsh braking, idle time), fleet safety programs rely on self-reporting rather than data.
Connect Infor to Locate2u in Three Steps
- Connect via Infor ION. Locate2u connects through the Infor ION API Gateway, the standard integration layer for all Infor CloudSuite products. Authentication uses Infor OS credentials. Both multi-tenant cloud and single-tenant deployments are supported.
- Configure shipment-to-delivery mapping. Define which Infor shipping orders or BODs (Business Object Documents) trigger delivery jobs in Locate2u. Map ship-to addresses, item details, and delivery instructions from Infor to Locate2u delivery fields.
- Go live with end-to-end visibility. Shipment orders flow from Infor, routes are optimized, drivers deliver via mobile app, and delivery confirmation with POD data writes back to Infor. Your production-to-doorstep chain is now fully visible.
