What Infor Manages, and What It Cannot:
Infor CloudSuite delivers deep, industry-specific ERP functionality for manufacturing, distribution, and food and beverage companies. Infor's own TMS module exists within CloudSuite Supply Chain, but it targets large enterprise freight operations with global multi-modal networks, taking 6 to 12 months to implement and requiring dedicated project teams mid-market budgets cannot support.
What Changes When Infor and SuiteFleet Are Connected:
- Load optimization: orders consolidated into efficient loads by weight, destination, and delivery priority, reducing transport costs while meeting delivery windows.
- Carrier management: contracted rates and performance scorecards drive automated carrier selection per shipment.
- Real-time visibility: GPS and milestone tracking sync shipment location and status to Infor supply chain modules for end-to-end visibility.
- Compliance tracking: driver hours, vehicle certifications, and dangerous goods compliance tracked with automated deadline alerts.
- Infor writeback: delivery data, freight costs, and compliance records post back through ION for financial and supply chain reporting.


Infor TMS was built for global enterprise freight. SuiteFleet fits the mid-market.
Who This Is For:
Mid-market companies on Infor CloudSuite Industrial, Distribution, or Food and Beverage needing dedicated transport management without the enterprise complexity, cost, or 6 to 12 month timeline of Infor's own TMS module.
Technical Integration Details:
Connects via the Infor ION API Gateway using standard BOD (Business Object Document) messaging, requiring no custom Infor development. Works with CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), CloudSuite Distribution, CloudSuite Food and Beverage, and Infor M3, deploying in 3 to 5 weeks compared to 6 to 12 months for Infor's own TMS.
How It Works (steps):
- Orders, inventory, and shipment requests sync from Infor via the ION API Gateway using standard BOD messages.
- SuiteFleet consolidates orders into optimized loads, selects carriers, and builds routes accounting for vehicle capacity and delivery windows.
- Delivery data, freight costs, and compliance records post back to Infor through ION automatically.
