  Solutions for driving profitable, efficient customer growth.
 The automotive industry is a dynamic one with many trends that are driving   dramatic change. As a whole, the industry is experiencing globalization and   diversification. Automotive suppliers have reacted by trying to sell products to   as many different customers as possible to reduce risk and increase revenue. At   the same time, mergers and acquisitions and a trend towards consolidation are   exerting extreme pressure on suppliers to lower costs. As a result, enterprising   companies recognize they must not only manage more customers, but do so more   efficiently and cost-effectively.  Infor CRM for Automotive provides a fully integrated EDI, release accounting,   shipping control, and invoicing solution that supports over 500 trading partners   with the latest EDI transaction sets as mandated by your automotive customers.   Seamless integration is provided between demand management processes and your   business applications. You can view inventory while creating shipping documents,   compare net requirements with availability of finished goods, generate barcode   labels from requirements, and then scan them to create or verify a shipment. All   shipping and invoicing documents are automatically generated. Infor’s customer relationship management solutions for automotive help   you:
