To deliver embedded industry-required collaboration throughout the entire automotive supplier value chain, Infor has announced the release of Infor Automotive Exchange version 11.0 and Infor Supplier Exchange version 11.3. The new version of Automotive Exchange provides automotive suppliers connectivity with their OEM and up-tier customers, whereas supplier Exchange version provides connectivity with their downstream supply chain.

Each product utilizes the newly unveiled Infor 10x technology platform to integrate with state-of-the-art manufacturing solutions such as Infor LN, to create an automotive industry solution suite which provides unprecedented connectivity, capabilities and user experience.

Warren Smith, Director of Global Automotive Market Strategy, Infor, said, The current state of the automotive industry requires that suppliers deliver faster to their customers and with increasingly complex products which positively impact their customer’s value chain. The latest iterations of Infor Automotive Exchange and Infor Supplier Exchange provide a significant competitive advantage through connectivity to the existing ERP while also providing a simplistic yet unified front for connecting suppliers with their customers.
