French retail manufacturer extends Infor
solution deployment
whose growth in France and internationally is illustrated by the
acquisition of its distributors abroad (Netherlands, Belgium, Italy,
Spain and Portugal). The goal is to ensure a presence and optimal
representation in each territory, taking into account that 75% of the
company’s turnover is generated internationally.
The Infor M3 Fashion ERP implementation project started in 2016 and
found its first peak in April 2018 with the effective implementation
of the solution on the French site of Morel, which employs nearly
130 people. Infor’s partner, Hetic 3 (formerly HELANT), a true Infor
M3 specialist, took charge of the project from the commercialisation
phase, to replace a homemade solution whose flexibility and
functionalities no longer suited Morel’s ambitions.
I
nfor, a leading provider of industry-specific cloud applications,
has announced that Morel, a French family-owned company
specialising in the design and manufacturing of eyeglass frames, is
extending its deployment of the Infor M3 Fashion solution to nine
subsidiaries abroad.
Morel, founded in 1880 and based in France (Jura), is a fashion
company with a strong identity, completely independent, and
“The M3 Fashion project is a strategic initiative coming straight
from our top management,” said Laurent Chevalier, IT Director at
Morel. “The competition from suppliers of low-cost eyeglass frames
has been such that many French players active in our sector
have disappeared. Thanks to our strong identity, our ability to
constantly offer new products – nearly 1,500 new catalogue items
per year – and a coherent, robust and sustainable IT project, we
have been able to cope with the strong competition and increase
our activities considerably.”
