Case Study: Preferred Sands achieves scalable growth and real-time operations with Infor

Preferred Sands relies on Infor to support skyrocketing growth

Preferred Sands, a leading North American frac sand manufacturer, scaled quickly from one mine to multiple mines, plants and dozens of third‑party warehouses. That rapid growth created a challenge to reduce production downtime, unify disparate systems (including legacy asset management and third‑party terminal systems), and provide real‑time, accurate information across many sites and users to control maintenance and supply‑chain costs.

The company deployed Infor SyteLine together with Infor Mongoose, ION, Ming.le and Advanced Planning/S&OP to integrate systems, automate data flows and deliver a single real‑time platform. The solution eliminated duplicate manual entry, enabled automatic shipment and payment notifications, improved collaboration and budgeting, increased the share of maintenance projects completed within budget to 75%, and provided scalable, real‑time visibility across operations and finance.
