A new set of mobile apps for Infor M3 to improve warehouse operations

As part of our ongoing event tour across the UK, Novacura was proud to participate in the M3UA UK Conference 2025, held on April 29 at the Leonardo Hotel Hinckley Island. This annual event brought together Infor M3 customers, experts, and partners to share insights and explore how to get more value out of their ERP environments. We were excited to return to this high-impact gathering — not only to connect with M3 users at our booth, but also to take the stage and present a powerful case study on warehouse process optimization using Novacura Flow. Enhancing Full Pallet Picking with Novacura Flow At 16:30, Novacura’s Director of Sales, Aksel Jarlbäck, presented a customer case titled:“Enhancing Full Pallet Picking Efficiency with Novacura Flow.” The session addressed common challenges in traditional full pallet picking processes — such as manual scanning steps, repeated API calls, and process inefficiencies — which often result in delays, errors, and wasted time. Aksel walked the audience through a real-life implementation at a food and beverage company, showing how Novacura Flow was used to build a customized pallet picking application tailored to the customer’s needs. Key takeaways from the session included: How continuous scanning was implemented to streamline workflows How the app reduced manual input and operational time The measurable impact on accuracy and efficiency in the warehouse This case study provided a concrete example of how low-code automation can modernize M3 processes, especially in logistics-intensive environments. The audience had a chance to see how flexible application design — powered by Novacura Flow — can bridge ERP functionality gaps without requiring complex development or changes to the core system. SUMMARY Throughout the day, attendees also had the opportunity to stop by Novacura’s blue booth (#4) to meet Aksel Jarlbäck and Robin Huizer, discuss their own M3 challenges, and explore how low-code can be applied across operations — from warehousing to production and beyond. We were glad to engage with so many M3 professionals and share ideas on making ERP systems more user-friendly, efficient, and adaptable. Thanks to everyone who attended the session, visited our booth, and contributed to meaningful conversations. We look forward to returning next year and continuing the journey of ERP innovation — together.

We started our April event tour in the coastal town of Svendborg, Denmark, where we participated in the Annual M3 User Group Conference on April 9–10, 2025. The event brought together Infor M3 users, partners, and experts to explore the latest trends in ERP and the growing impact of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence. Novacura was proud to be part of the program, contributing to the dialogue on how organizations can simplify complexity in ERP and prepare their systems — and people — for the future. Taking the Complexity Out of ERP: Joint Presentation with Kohberg One of the key highlights of our participation was a joint presentation delivered on April 10, titled “Novacura – Fjerner kompleksiteten fra ERP” (Taking the Complexity Out of ERP). Steven Ilg Hansen from Kohberg Bakery Group, together with Rayner Bröndrup and Adam Wojtyniak from Novacura, shared how Kohberg is streamlining its ERP processes with the help of Novacura Flow. The session focused on real-world applications of our low-code platform to improve scanning, reporting, and planning workflows — reducing complexity, increasing efficiency, and lowering the need for extensive training or reliance on manual processes. By showing how Kohberg has gained more control and agility in its ERP operations, the session illustrated the practical value of a flexible, user-centric approach to enterprise systems. Wrapping Up in Svendborg Throughout the event, visitors to the Novacura blue booth had the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about how Novacura Flow enhances Infor M3, and discuss how low-code tools can make ERP systems more adaptable and intuitive. We were pleased to connect with so many industry professionals and share our vision of ERP systems that empower users, not overwhelm them. A big thank you to everyone who stopped by, attended our session, and contributed to the conversations around the future of ERP. We look forward to continuing the dialogue!

In March, while part of the Novacura team was busy at the M3UGA Spring User Group Meeting in the U.S., another team was preparing for an equally exciting event in Oslo, Norway: the Infor InfoTeam, held on March 18–19, 2025. This annual gathering brings together Infor customers, partners, and experts from across Norway and beyond — and we were proud to be part of the lineup once again this year. Event Highlights One of the highlights of the event was our customer presentation held on March 19, from 11:00 to 11:40, in Terminal 3.

It feels like every month, there’s a new story about a company dealing with major ERP failure and implementation problems. The latest edition comes from candy maker Haribo, who had troubles getting their famous gummy bears out to suppliers in late 2018 because of problems stemming from their latest ERP integration. Haribo expected to have a few issues during implementation. But, by their own admission, the supply chain issues they faced after deployment were much larger than anticipated. For Haribo, the problems eventually sorted themselves out. But other companies haven’t been so fortunate. Let’s take a look at a few other examples of failed ERP implementations and the key causes of their failure: Woolworths Australia, 2015  After 6 years of planning, Woolworths Australia (or “Woolies”) went live with their new ERP in 2015. They had problems almost immediately, the biggest of which was empty shelves in many stores. What caused the problem? A glitch in the new system prevented Woolworths from placing orders with their suppliers. Suppliers were frustrated and furious… and Woolworths lost millions of dollars in sales.  But that wasn’t the only problem with the new ERP system.  From the Australian Financial Review (AFR):  One of the key problems and failings that occurred at Woolies during the SAP implementation process was the lack of attention given to documenting processes used by staff in the day-to-day running of the business. Too much of the intellectual property of what was then the best-performing supermarket group in Australia was left in the heads of people who worked at Woolies. This carried lots of risks because when people left they took with them key pieces of information. Loss of corporate memory is often referred to as a key risk in companies but it is only when something as critical as a new merchandising system is jeopardised that senior management learn its importance. What can we learn from this? Companies need to map all their business processes prior to ERP implementation. This practical information is essential when designing the new ERP system.  Every company should have a plan for employee knowledge transfer so that information doesn’t disappear when an employee leaves the company.  Above all: test everything before you go live with a new ERP system.   Oriola Finland, 2017 Almost every ERP implementation will have a few hiccups when the new system goes live. But what do you do when a small hiccup in the supply chain can mean the difference between life and death? This was the problem Oriola Finland was facing in September 2017, when they launched their new ERP.  Oriola is one of Finland’s largest pharmaceutical suppliers. They deliver thousands of medications to pharmacists around the country, including insulin, cancer medications and anti-psychotics. Any disruption to the supply chain doesn’t just cause lost sales: it can cause great damage to people’s health.  It sounds like Oriola didn’t anticipate any supply chain disruption as they switched over to their new ERP. But in reality, their ordering system was shut down for days. This led to widespread confusion and frustration as pharmacists all over […]

From October 8th to 10th, our team had the pleasure of attending the BE-terna Day Infor M3 2024 event in Innsbruck, Austria, as proud partners.
