Tesco Brings Financial Close onto Infor
Tesco, a consumer staples organization in the United Kingdom, uses Coleman AI from Infor to support record to report for controllers and shared services.
Tesco asked for a cleaner operating picture of financial close. Infor is what they run.
“Controllers and shared services needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“Infor delivers industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain applications for manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and distribution.”

Story
Inside Tesco, record to report used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in consumer staples groups working out of the United Kingdom. Controllers and shared services needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Tesco uses Coleman AI from Infor as the working layer for financial close. Infor delivers industry-specific cloud ERP and supply chain applications for manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, and distribution. The practical change is simple: record to report has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Tesco gets from Infor is a durable place to run record to report and a way for controllers and shared services to see the same financial close at the same time.
