Unlike general‑purpose ERP systems, Infor Distribution ERP reflects how distributors actually operate. It supports distribution‑specific workflows, role‑based access across teams, and visibility into margins, service levels, and performance.
Aktion works with distributors to align Infor ERP to real operational needs so the system supports how the business runs today while remaining adaptable as requirements evolve.
Infor Distribution ERP is well-suited for distributors that depend on inventory‑driven operations, warehouse activity, purchasing, pricing, and customer fulfillment. This includes wholesale, industrial, building materials, HVAC, electrical, and multi‑entity distributors.
Organizations often evaluate solutions like Infor CloudSuite Distribution (CSD) when existing systems can no longer keep pace with business demands. Common triggers include limited inventory visibility, manual warehouse processes, reporting delays, growth through new locations or acquisitions, and increasing customer expectations.
Not every distributor needs to modernize immediately. Aktion helps organizations evaluate whether to stabilize an existing environment, modernize specific processes, or plan a broader ERP transition based on readiness, risk tolerance, and business goals.
Infor ERP supports the functions distributors depend on most:
By integrating these capabilities in a single system, distributors reduce friction, improve visibility, and operate with greater confidence as scale and complexity increase.
As distribution operations grow more complex, many organizations evaluate cloud ERP as part of a modernization strategy. Infor CloudSuite Distribution provides practical advantages such as secure remote access, improved resilience, reduced infrastructure overhead, and stronger analytics.
CloudSuite Distribution fits into the broader Infor ERP ecosystem and does not require distributors to abandon institutional knowledge. Aktion helps organizations transition in a way that preserves continuity, supports user adoption, and minimizes disruption. Some distributors adopt CloudSuite as a full modernization initiative, while others take a phased approach.
Many distributors continue to run their businesses successfully on Infor A+ or Infor FACTS. These platforms were built specifically for distribution and remain deeply embedded in day‑to‑day operations across inventory, purchasing, pricing, warehousing, and fulfillment.
Infor A+ is commonly used by distributors that value straightforward, transaction‑driven workflows and long‑standing operational stability.
Infor FACTS supports growing distributors that need stronger controls, auditability, and flexibility as operational complexity increases.
Aktion supports all three distribution platforms. We understand that replacing those institutional cornerstones is a big task. We help distributors work within the software to stabilize performance, improve efficiency, and modernize targeted processes without forcing immediate ERP replacement.
Many organizations choose to:
In some cases, these improvements extend the useful life of the current ERP. In others, they become practical steps toward a future migration to Infor CloudSuite Distribution. Aktion helps distributors make those decisions deliberately, based on business readiness, risk tolerance, and long‑term value, not vendor pressure.
Infor ERP supports mission‑critical distribution operations. Aktion’s managed services help distributors protect ERP performance, reduce operational risk, and ensure systems continue to support the business as it grows.
This includes proactive monitoring, performance optimization, security oversight, and ongoing improvement. Aktion’s managed services extend internal IT teams with Infor ERP expertise, providing reliable support without increasing headcount.
Aktion has helped thousands of distributors achieve measurable business results while minimizing disruption to day‑to‑day operations.
A building supplies distributor moved to Infor CloudSuite Distribution to ensure operational continuity during disruption. The transition enabled secure off‑site access, eliminated downtime workarounds, and supported uninterrupted order handling.
The cloud‑based ERP environment improved overall resilience while maintaining system reliability during periods of change.
An HVAC distributor migrated from Infor FACTS to Infor CloudSuite Distribution to address growth constraints. The organization strengthened audit trails, improved visibility into system updates and data, and automated reporting used for both daily operations and executive insight.
These changes reduced manual effort and allowed the business to focus on scalable growth and market expansion.
A multi‑branch HVAC, plumbing, and PVF distributor implemented Infor CloudSuite Distribution with UnForm document imaging to modernize accounts payable. The organization now processes 8,000+ invoices per month across 1,068 vendors using unified workflows.
Manual invoice entry was reduced from approximately six hours per day to under two hours, improving efficiency without increasing complexity.
A fast‑growing retail distributor adopted Infor CloudSuite Distribution to replace an overloaded legacy POS system. By separating POS from the backend ERP and adopting a best‑of‑breed architecture, the organization improved demand planning, pricing, inventory management, and warehouse operations.
The transition reduced operational risk while supporting continued retail expansion.

Infor offers a portfolio of distribution ERP solutions, including Infor CloudSuite Distribution and legacy platforms such as Infor A+ or Infor FACTS. Each solution supports different stages of growth, operational complexity, and modernization readiness.
Infor CloudSuite Distribution is a modern, cloud‑based ERP designed for scalability, resilience, and advanced analytics.
Infor A+, FACTS, and SX.e are proven legacy platforms that continue to support many distributors effectively, often with deep customization and long‑standing workflows.
Aktion helps distributors evaluate when to stay on a legacy platform, modernize incrementally, or transition to CloudSuite Distribution.
Distributors often consider CloudSuite Distribution when legacy systems limit visibility, scalability, remote access, or reporting needs. Common triggers include growth through acquisitions, increased audit requirements, infrastructure risk, or the need for stronger analytics.
Aktion helps assess readiness and plan transitions at the right pace.
Infor Cloudsuite Distribution provides real‑time inventory visibility, warehouse management, purchasing, and fulfillment tools aligned with order processing and customer demand.
