The Infor M3 ecosystem is evolving rapidly, demanding a delicate balance between robust core ERP stability and rapid frontline adaptability. On April 15–16, 2026, the local and international M3 community converged at the LEGOLAND Hotel & Conference in Billund for the M3 User Group Denmark Conference 2026. As one of the premier M3 events in Denmark, it brought together approximately 150 users, system experts, and industry leaders for two intensive days focused on knowledge sharing, peer networking, and the future of digital transformation.

For Novacura, the conference provided the perfect forum to address the most pressing question facing asset-intensive businesses today: How do you eliminate the operational disconnect between your central ERP and your daily floor operations?

The ERP Execution Gap in Modern Logistics and Manufacturing

Many manufacturing, distribution, and logistics enterprises run their core processes on Infor M3. It is a powerful engine for managing complex enterprise data. However, a significant business inefficiency often arises right at the edge of the system—where the digital data must interact with physical execution.

Whether a company is navigating a highly strategic migration to M3 CloudSuite or pushing to extract maximum performance from an established on-premise installation, the “ERP execution gap” remains a persistent threat. Standard ERP user interfaces and rigid out-of-the-box workflows can overwhelm floor operators, leading to manual workarounds, delayed production reporting, and degraded supply chain visibility. When data input lags behind physical movement, operational KPIs suffer.

To stay competitive, organizations cannot afford a disconnected workforce; they need an agile layer that translates ERP complexity into streamlined, error-free execution.

Novacura Flow as the Factory's "Nervous System"

At our distinct blue booth in Billund, Novacura demonstrated exactly how to bridge this gap. Rather than relying on conceptual slides, we brought a physical solution to life: the Novacura Full LEGO Factory.

This fully operational, small-scale model served as a concrete demonstration of how Novacura Flow orchestrates every aspect of a production facility. Visitors watched in real time as the low-code platform managed tasks ranging from inbound logistics to shop-floor production reporting, feeding critical updates instantly back into the ERP environment.

By acting as the functional “nervous system” of Infor M3, Novacura Flow ensures that physical actions on the warehouse or factory floor trigger immediate, automated digital updates. It replaces rigid data entry with intuitive, mobile-first workflows designed around the user’s specific daily tasks. And, fittingly for an event hosted in the birthplace of the iconic building block, visitors who stopped by to see the factory model left with a small LEGO gift to take home.

Meet the Experts: Designing Your Digital Roadmap

The core value of the M3UG Denmark Conference lies in strategic dialogue. Our onsite team spent two days engaging with operations and IT managers to help them evaluate their technology roadmaps:

  • Helle Mering, Regional Manager for Continental Europe

  • Mattias Nydestam, Senior M3 Consultant

The consultations focused heavily on how to achieve digital transformation without introducing risk. For companies planning a transition to M3 CloudSuite, our experts discussed how Novacura Flow protects custom logic, allowing businesses to migrate the core ERP cleanly while keeping customized mobile workflows fully intact. For those maximizing their current on-premise systems, the focus was on deploying low-code applications to eliminate paper-based processes and dramatically reduce production cycle times

Transforming ERP Complexity into Operational Agility

Beyond the technical workshops, the conference provided critical perspective on the broader challenges facing modern enterprises. A key highlight was the keynote address by Anders Lund Madsen, titled “Cybersikkerhed for sjov” (“Cybersecurity for Fun”), which used humor to deliver a vital message about IT security, cyberattacks, and the realities of modern data protection. It reinforced a core truth: as business infrastructure becomes more interconnected, keeping user workflows simple, secure, and controlled is paramount.

The ultimate victory for companies leveraging Novacura Flow alongside Infor M3 is the achievement of total process control. When you remove the friction between your enterprise software and your frontline workers, you lower error rates, optimize lead times, and gain a transparent view of your entire supply chain.
