Case Study: Red Wing Shoe Company achieves a perfect fit and streamlined ERP operations with Infor M3

Red Wing Shoe Company delivers a perfect fit with Infor M3

Red Wing Shoe Company, founded in 1905 in Red Wing, Minnesota, makes durable work and casual footwear across brands like Irish Settler, Vasque, and Worx. Facing a heavily modified legacy system, the company needed an ERP built for the fashion industry that could manage manufacturing and business processes at the style level, handle a wide range of SKUs (styles, sizes, widths, colors), ensure customers find a perfect fit, and eliminate customizations to ease a future cloud move.

Red Wing implemented Infor M3 as an integrated, out-of-the-box solution that required no modifications and supported processes from leather manufacturing through finished-goods shipping. The system met fashion production needs at the style level, enabled a broad product assortment to improve fit and customer satisfaction, sped implementation, and established a smoother path to the cloud with consistent support from Infor Elite consultants.
