Case Study: Gloucester Engineering achieves cloud scalability, major cost savings and a 60% faster close with Infor SyteLine (Infor)

Gloucester Engineering Soars with Infor SyteLine in the Cloud

Gloucester Engineering Co., a global maker of plastics extrusion and converting equipment, needed a modern ERP to manage CRM, sales, financials and mixed‑mode manufacturing across four business units. The company also required secure remote access, better visibility into operations, and a solution that avoided application/server compatibility issues while supporting growth without raising IT and administrative costs.

Gloucester implemented Infor SyteLine ERP in the cloud, gaining on‑premises functionality with on‑demand flexibility, centralized real‑time data, and simplified maintenance. The cloud deployment ensured up‑to‑date applications, easier integration via Infor ION, improved customer and shop‑floor visibility, and faster decision‑making—cutting close cycle time by over 60% and delivering annual savings of roughly $182,000 through reduced payroll, software/service costs, and less payment leakage.
