Through working in partnership with Infor, we will embark on implementing the biggest systems change in the history of Travis Perkins Group, which will enable us to remain agile, increase our productivity and to keep providing excellent customer service”.
The partnership continues what is a very active few months for Infor, which recently acquired in-store mobile technology provider Starmount and purchased Predictix in June, six months after investing $25 million in the predictive analytics firm.
