Case Study: DAB Pumps cuts fulfillment time 20% and streamlines global operations with Infor

Dab Pumps boosts global productivity with Infor LN, Infor ION, and other Infor solutions

Dab Pumps, a Veneto, Italy–based division of Grundfos that produces millions of motor-driven water pumps with 1,200+ employees, faced a legacy, highly customized IBM i environment that couldn’t support its complex mix of make-to-stock, make-to-order and engineer-to-order manufacturing. The company needed a flexible, standardized ERP to improve cost and profitability visibility, streamline multinational operations, and enable expansion into emerging markets.

Dab selected Infor (Infor 10x, Infor LN and Infor ION) after simulating real business cases with its own data and rolled out a synchronized, multi-site implementation across 11 countries. By standardizing processes, retiring legacy apps and adding dashboards to remove bottlenecks, Dab achieved a 20% reduction in average fulfillment time, 52% faster supplier invoice approvals (5 → 2.4 days), 71% faster supplier payments (7 → 2 days), and improved planning, customer service and scalability for future cloud deployments.
