Story
Inside SMC, source to pay used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in industrials groups working out of Japan. Procurement and AP needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
SMC uses Infor WMS from Infor as the working layer for procurement and payables. Infor delivers industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain applications for manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and distribution. The practical change is simple: source to pay has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What SMC gets from Infor is a durable place to run source to pay and a way for procurement and AP to see the same procurement and payables at the same time.
