The distribution industry is undergoing rapid transformation—and Infor is leading the way with modern, industry-specific, multi-tenant cloud solutions designed to help distributors overcome disruption, improve customer experience, and accelerate profitable growth. In this in-depth presentation, Infor distribution leaders share how Infor CloudSuite Distribution, Infor OS, and advanced technologies like AI, machine learning, IoT, and data-driven analytics are empowering distributors across HVAC, electrical, industrial supply, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, and more.

Dan DeFoe, Infor’s General Manager for Distribution, highlights how more than 6,000 distributors rely on Infor to modernize operations—from finance and supply chain to warehouse management, field service, and workforce optimization. With over 60 companies live and 200+ migrating to Infor CloudSuite Distribution, distributors are embracing true multi-tenant ERP to drive long-term innovation and eliminate the burden of legacy systems.

Industry strategist Kelly Squizzero explains the disruptions reshaping today’s distribution environment, including rising customer expectations, virtual marketplaces, new competitors, AI-driven capabilities, and the need for omnichannel experiences across phone, counter, showroom, and e-commerce. She also explores how distributors must evolve from product sellers to solution providers—offering value-added services such as inventory management, field service, equipment rental, configuration services, and complex project management.

The session outlines the operational challenges distributors face—improving productivity, streamlining inventory planning, optimizing warehouse efficiency, managing multi-branch fulfillment, retaining talent, and gaining actionable insights from data. Leading distributors are now leveraging Infor to deploy IoT for automated replenishment, e-commerce through Infor Rhythm, CPQ for personalized product configuration, and CloudSuite Distribution Enterprise for scalable growth with fewer customizations.
