Case Study: Lippert and Kinro achieve 25% faster product model development with Infor Product Configurator

Lippert and Kinro reduce product model development time by 25% with Infor Product Configurator

Lippert Components and sister company Kinro, subsidiaries of Drew Industries, supply a wide range of components for RVs, manufactured homes and trailers. They needed a product configuration solution that was easy to learn and use, would integrate seamlessly with their existing ERP, make configuration fast and intuitive for sales and order-entry staff, automatically generate detailed BOMs and manufacturing instructions, and reduce the time required to build and maintain configuration models.

Lippert and Kinro implemented Infor Product Configurator, rolling out the first major product line in about 60 days and providing a seamless ERP user experience. The solution cut product model development time by at least 25%, streamlined order entry, manufacturing planning and product data management, reduced the effort to maintain hundreds of BOMs and routings while eliminating data-entry errors, and produced BOMs for existing orders within 10 days of implementation.
