Infor and Comet: Process Optimization Passes Through the Multi-Tenant Cloud
Increased competitiveness expected from standardized processes
Infor, the industry cloud company, announced that Comet Spa, an Italian company and world leader in the production of pumps for agriculture, and an important player in industrial pumps and professional pressure washers, has chosen Infor CloudSuite Industrial Enterprise, on the Infor Cloud powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS). The solution will also be implemented in Lavorwash Spa, a group company active in the production of cleaning machinery, with the aim of simplifying and standardizing the business processes of the two companies.
The Comet Group, founded in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 1959, now has over 750 employees and is recognized for the excellence and construction quality of its products, distributed in over 130 countries around the world. The wide range of products and accessories have positioned the company at the highest levels for pressurized water technology. In 2017, Comet acquired Lavorwash, a famous manufacturer of cleaning equipment for domestic and professional use. Both companies are part of the Emak Group holding.
Comet selected the Infor solution because of its high functional coverage on individual industrial processes and the greater safety in the implementation path provided by Infor Implementation Accelerators.
