Case Study: Tecfil cuts customizations 8x and speeds order processing with Infor LN (Infor)

Tecfil significantly reduces customizations with a successful upgrade to Infor LN

Tecfil, a family-run company based in Guarulhos, Brazil, is the largest producer of automotive filters in Latin America with about 1,500 employees and two plants producing some six million filters per month. Facing a competitive, fast-growing market, Tecfil needed better data visibility and faster delivery to eliminate out-of-stock conditions, reduce missed sales on high‑margin products, and replace a disparate IT landscape that hindered efficient decision-making.

Tecfil upgraded from Infor Baan to Infor LN with Infor Services, completing the project on time and on budget and cutting customizations from roughly 40–45% to just 5% (an eightfold reduction). The upgrade delivered near real‑time inventory visibility and streamlined processes, producing 99.6% inventory accuracy, a 75% reduction in sales order processing time, substantial weekly and monthly labor savings, and a 50% faster financial close—improving service levels, lead times, and overall operational efficiency.
