Case Study: Cremer S.A. achieves an integrated value chain and 10% annual maintenance cost reduction with Infor

Cremer S.A. partners with Infor Consulting Services to replace incumbent ERPs in acquired businesses with Infor LX

Cremer S.A., headquartered in Blumenau, Brazil, is the country’s largest supplier of disposable and consumable healthcare products, with 3,000+ employees, seven production plants and five distribution centers. Growing rapidly through acquisitions, Cremer needed to standardize processes, consolidate its value chain across multiple legal entities, and reduce operating expenses while improving demand forecasting and inventory control.

Working with Infor Consulting Services, Cremer implemented a single instance of Infor LX and complementary Infor solutions (EAM, Supply Chain Planning, and Supply Chain Execution) across acquired businesses with no customizations. Results included a 4‑month go‑live at Topz, a 2‑day financial close, 10% annual maintenance cost reduction, a 67% faster picking process enabling a 46.9% headcount reduction amid 60% business growth, 16% improvement in forecast accuracy, 20% lower inventory and 5% fewer purchasing costs—delivering faster time to value and measurable ROI.
