Midwest Wheel Companies | Distribution | 250 | $72M | United States | Infor | Infor CloudSuite Distribution | Distribution ERP | 2014 |
In 2014, Midwest Wheel Companies implemented Infor CloudSuite Distribution. The deployment targeted core Distribution ERP functions and included Infor Field Service to unify back-office inventory, order management, purchasing, and technician dispatch for one of the largest truck part distributors in the midwest United States.
The selection followed shortcomings of a traditional vertical vendor in delivering process automation, and the implementation emphasized process automation and analytical task orchestration using Infor OS. Central Data served as the system integrator for the rollout, configuring Infor CloudSuite Distribution and Infor Field Service, and instrumenting Infor OS to automate integrations, repetitive operations, and analytical workflows. Operational ownership was consolidated within a one-person IT team, with governance focused on automation-first workflows, scheduled orchestration via Infor OS, and standardization of field service and distribution processes across business functions, enabling the company to operate a world-class ERP and field service stack with automated daily operations.

Replenex | Distribution | 80 | $50M | United States | Phocas Software | Phocas Financial Statements | Financial Consolidation and Close | 2022 |
In 2022, Replenex implemented Phocas Financial Statements. The Financial Consolidation and Close deployment established a cloud based single source of truth for financial reporting across the distributor’s operations.
The implementation included Phocas Financial Statements alongside Phocas Budgets & Forecasts and Phocas Analytics, configured to automate daily financial activities and to produce an actual profit and loss statement without manual ledger adjustments. Reporting was provisioned to multiple stakeholders, enabling the finance team to generate bank‑ready P&L output and to distribute individual and consolidated accounts receivable reports to executives and sales teams by email. The platform centralized financial consolidation, budgeting, forecasting, and statement generation to simplify month end workflows.
Phocas Financial Statements integrated with the company’s Infor CloudSuite Distribution ERP, and Central Data served as the SI/VAR supporting configuration, integration, and ongoing support. The cloud SaaS architecture reduced reliance on on premises servers and allowed operational and transactional data from inventory, sales, and distribution workflows to feed a unified reporting layer. This integration aligned operational data with financial consolidation processes to improve data integrity.
Governance and process changes included standardizing month end close tasks and instituting a weekly Monday accounts receivable report distributed to the executive team and sales for proactive collections. Month end reporting time was reduced from seven to ten business days down to three business days, and Replenex reported a past due accounts receivable balance of 7.5 percent, reflecting improved cross functional accountability. The automated reports enabled executive review prior to bank submission and broader transparency across departments.
Operational scope encompassed finance, sales, operations, and field staff across Replenex’s onsite facilities and satellite locations, and the platform addressed succession risk by removing reliance on a single homegrown reporting resource. Phocas Financial Statements delivered greater confidence in the accuracy of financial information and supported streamlined daily activities across the business.

Replenex | Distribution | 80 | $50M | United States | Phocas Software | Phocas Budgeting and Forecasting | EPM | 2022 |
In 2022, Replenex implemented Phocas Budgeting and Forecasting as part of an EPM deployment to centralize financial planning and reporting. The cloud-based implementation was delivered with support from Central Data and designed to become the company wide single source of truth for financial and operational metrics.
The implementation focused on Phocas Budgeting and Forecasting capabilities alongside complementary Phocas modules for financial statements and analytics, enabling automated P&L reporting, structured budget and forecast models, and scheduled distribution of role-specific reports. Configuration emphasized automated month-end processes and recurring AR and AP workflows, with inbox delivery of weekly and monthly reports to sales and executive teams to drive transparency.
The deployment architecture integrated Phocas with Infor CloudSuite Distribution ERP to unify transactional ERP data with planning models and analytics, preserving the general ledger while allowing self-serve access to actual figures for nonfinance users. Operational coverage spanned finance, sales, operations, and onsite warehouse teams across Replenex’s 15,000 square foot facility and additional locations, consolidating data from field and onsite staff into a single platform.
Governance changes prioritized succession resilience and reduced manual reconciliation, driven by an urgent need to replace a bespoke homegrown reporting process. With Phocas Budgeting and Forecasting and associated Phocas Financial Statements and analytics functionality in place, Replenex shortened month-end reporting from 7 to 10 business days down to 3 business days, and achieved a reported past due accounts receivable balance of 7.5 percent, while gaining higher confidence in data integrity and eliminating on-premises server constraints.
