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

At the 2026 M3UGA Spring Conference in Tempe, Arizona (March 23–25), where Novacura participated as a sponsor, it became clear to the North American Infor M3 community that closing this gap is no longer a luxury – it is a strategic necessity. In ERP-driven operations, the distance between system capabilities and operational reality is where most efficiency is lost. A Growing Community Of Experts As Jared Burton, Sales Representative at Novacura North America, noted: “The 2026 M3UGA Conference was another fantastic event, driven by dedicated organizers invested in helping customers get the most out of their M3 environments.” For Novacura, this marked our third year of participation. We have moved beyond being just a participant to becoming a strategic voice for organizations struggling with the rigid structures of legacy ERP setups. The energy in Arizona confirmed that the M3 community is hungry for solutions that offer agility without compromising the core integrity of their Infor environment. The Agenda: Modernization And Strategic Agility The conference, held in Tempe, focused heavily on the transition toward Infor CloudSuite and the optimization of on-premise environments. Key themes included: The Cloud Journey: Strategies for migrating while maintaining business continuity. Data Integrity: Ensuring “one version of the truth” across global supply chains. User Experience: Moving away from complex “green screens” toward intuitive, process-driven interfaces. From the Stage: Bridging the ERP Execution Gap – Novacura Customer Case Presentations At the recent Annual M3 User Group Conference, Novacura highlighted a fundamental truth facing modern industrial enterprises: the ERP system itself is rarely the problem—the friction lies in how people interact with it. Through two distinct session deep-dives, we explored how a low-code layer can dismantle the “villains” of system complexity and data latency. Session 1: Bridging the High-Volume Data Gap In high-stakes environments – such as seasonal harvest or large-scale raw material intake – operational efficiency is often threatened by fragmented data and steep training barriers. The Challenge: Traditional ERP interfaces often require “too many screens and too many clicks” for simple data entry. For seasonal staff with limited training windows, this complexity creates a “training gap” that results in data latency and inaccurate inventory visibility. The Technical Bridge: Rather than resorting to risky core modifications, the solution involves deploying a low-code integration engine. By using a simplified mobile interface, workers can execute complex transactions – such as logging IDs and attributes – via a single, clean screen that communicates directly with ERP APIs. The Result: This approach achieves real-time accuracy without the “administrative burden.” Companies gain the ability to deploy applications with minimal time-to-value, ensuring that even a temporary workforce can contribute to a 100% compliant data capture process. Session 2: From “Ghost Data” to Precision Field Service   For organizations managing heavy machinery and field-based support, the “villain” is often a reliance on manual, analog reporting that hides critical KPIs. The Challenge: When technicians capture time and meter readings in Excel or on paper, “ghost data” (delayed or disconnected information) paralyzes maintenance planning. This lack of real-time visibility often leads to system duplication, where staff use external tools to track […]

Another year at Infoteamdagene has confirmed that the Norwegian industrial landscape is at a crossroads. As we gathered for the 2026 edition – marking another consecutive year of Novacura’s proud sponsorship of this vital community – one theme resonated louder than any technical update: the growing friction between ERP complexity and operational reality. Beyond our role as sponsors, we had the privilege of presenting a live look into how leaders are solving this friction. Our session, “How Møre Trafo Synchronized Production, Logistics, and Quality with Novacura Flow,” demonstrated that when you align your ERP with your people – rather than the other way around – the results are transformative. Insights from the 2026 M3 Roadmap Infoteamdagene 2026 provided a clear view of the road ahead. Our team engaged with several key pillars of the current M3 ecosystem: Maximizing M3 Value: Strategies for squeezing every drop of ROI out of existing implementations while preparing for modernization. The Cloud Transition: Moving to the Cloud is no longer the “future”—it is the present. The focus is now on how to migrate without losing the unique competitive advantages built into your current processes. AI and Automation: The integration of AI is shifting from hype to high-level automation, particularly in Supply Chain and Finance. Technical Deep Dives: Exploring how modern APIs and extensions can finally allow for a “Clean Core” strategy. The “Reporting Lag” and the Complexity Barrier As was mentioned many times during the event, for many organizations running Infor M3, the ERP has become an administrative burden on the shop floor. When a reporting process is too complex to complete in the moment, operators revert to paper or delayed entries. This is the Complexity Barrier. By the time the data reaches the management dashboard, it is already “historical fiction,” leading to over-purchasing, inventory inaccuracies, and a loss of strategic control. 35% Claim Reduction and Strategic Control: The Møre Trafo Customer Case At Infoteamdagene 2026, Møre Trafo – Scandinavia’s premier manufacturer of distribution transformers – demonstrated how they shifted from “ERP-centric” thinking to “operational intent.” In a high-precision industry where technical deviations carry heavy financial risks, Møre Trafo needed a way to ensure that shop-floor reality perfectly matched their digital records. The Challenge: The Friction of Manual Oversight Despite a robust ERP, Møre Trafo faced a common “Complexity Barrier”. Vital quality data was often captured manually, creating a “reporting lag” that prevented proactive course correction. This fragmentation made it difficult to maintain full traceability and contributed to avoidable costs from non-conformity and claims. The Solution: The “Template-Block” Framework To eliminate this friction, Møre Trafo implemented a process-optimizing low-code layer using Novacura Flow. Instead of forcing technicians to navigate complex ERP screens, they deployed a “Template-Block” architecture that enforces engineering rules at the point of execution. This mobile-first interface guides workers through mandatory technical gates – such as pressure tests or specific measurements – ensuring that data is captured correctly the first time. If a technical tolerance isn’t met, the process stops, preventing defects from moving downstream. The Result: Strategic Control and a 35% Claim Reduction By moving their complex […]
