NetSuite vs Infor

NetSuite vs Infor

Infor delivers strong industry clouds, but they’re often deployed as separate suites that need stitching together. NetSuite gives you one finance-first platform with planning, CRM and supply chain unified from the start.

Why switch to NetSuite from Infor

  • One platform, fewer moving parts

    NetSuite offers one data model across finance, CRM, inventory and planning while Infor’s connected CloudSuites create integration complexity as you grow.

  • Multi-entity without friction

    Consolidate subsidiaries, currencies and tax rules in one environment. With NetSuite OneWorld, intercompany and group reporting stay consistent across regions and teams.

  • Upgrades that stay aligned

    NetSuite ships automatic twice-yearly updates that preserve your setup. This avoids coordinating changes across separate products and keeps teams working from the same version.

Understanding NetSuite vs Infor ERP

Infor’s industry clouds like M3, LN and CloudSuite Industrial deliver depth for manufacturers and other specialised sectors. Yet stitching suites together introduces complexity as businesses expand. NetSuite is a unified, cloud-native ERP with finance, CRM, planning and analytics all on one platform. That simplicity drives consistency, real-time visibility and faster global expansion.

Questions to ask before you choose

Which ERP is better for multi-entity businesses?

NetSuite’s OneWorld edition natively supports multi-entity consolidation, intercompany eliminations, multi-currency management and global tax compliance in a single environment. Infor often requires combining multiple CloudSuites, which can increase integration complexity for organisations managing subsidiaries.

How do the platforms differ in financial reporting?

NetSuite delivers built-in SuiteAnalytics, role-based dashboards, real-time reporting and predictive modelling – all inside one system. Infor’s reporting is strong within each CloudSuite but can become fragmented when pulling data across finance, supply chain and HR suites.

Which system offers better support for growing mid-market companies?

NetSuite is designed for mid-sized and scaling businesses, offering flexibility and extensibility without large IT overhead. Infor’s depth suits larger, industry-specialised enterprises but can feel heavy for mid-market businesses needing agility.

 

What’s the upgrade and maintenance experience like?

NetSuite ships automatic twice-yearly upgrades with preserved configurations, ensuring everyone stays on the same version. Infor upgrades can require planning across CloudSuites and middleware, making the process more involved.

Which platform is easier to integrate with third-party tools?

NetSuite provides an open API and strong connector ecosystem, making it easy to integrate with eCommerce, CRM and analytics tools. Infor relies on its ION middleware layer, which can add extra configuration effort.

How do ecosystems compare?

Infor’s industry clouds often require integrations to extend functionality. NetSuite has a broad SuiteApp marketplace and Oracle-backed partner network, giving businesses more options to tailor and expand their ERP.

Power growth with a unified ERP

Infor’s multiple suites can serve niche needs, but complexity grows as you scale. NetSuite’s integrated ERP eliminates those barriers to deliver a system that grows with you, keeps processes aligned and empowers leaders with insight to navigate uncertainty and opportunity.
  • Future-fit foundation

    NetSuite’s unified data model underpins finance, planning and operations, giving leaders the capabilities to standardise processes and scale consistently.

  • Growth without barriers

    With built-in global capabilities and real-time visibility, NetSuite removes complexity so you can focus on innovation, expansion and customer value.
