In 2021, Hisco implemented Infor Distribution SX.e as its Distribution ERP foundation to extend automation across procurement, inventory, order and warehouse operations. The deployment established Infor Distribution SX.e as the core transactional system supporting supply chain and distribution workflows for the organization.
