The challenge

AVIA completed the deployment of Infor ERP MAX+ in cooperation with its implementation partners, Infor, S&T CZ s.r.o. and Your System s.r.o. AVIA now benefits from recently added functionality in Infor ERP MAX+ based on latest Web technology and direct B2B communication between existing systems.

The project

Infor ERP MAX+ builds the core of AVIA’s new configuration and ordering system for new cars, spare parts sales and after-sales services. The Infor solution enables AVIA to introduce a new way of graphical configuration and ordering cars directly through its website www.avia.cz, giving a new impetus to dealers. Moreover, it facilitates the creation of a technical and production documentation, bringing additional transparency into the company’s manufacturing processes. Based on Infor ERP MAX+, AVIA also deployed barcode processing to accurately manage all inventory

Infor ERP MAX+ is an advanced solution supporting discrete series, unit and mixed-mode manufacturing. The solution provides highly integrated tools for manufacturing process management and covers all relevant areas focused on integrating efficient supply chain and Web-based communication processes. MAX+ has been especially designed for the automotive industry and machine tools segment.
