Overview
Connecting Infor M3 with your trading partners
Infor M3 serves manufacturers and distributors in industries such as food and beverage, fashion, equipment and chemicals, many of which trade with large retailers and global suppliers. M3 exposes its functions through M3 APIs, connects to other applications through Infor ION, and has historically used M3 Enterprise Collaborator for document mapping and B2B messaging.
ECOM integrates M3 with trading partners through PRISM, translating partner documents into M3 transactions through ION or M3 APIs and generating outbound documents from deliveries and invoices. ECOM also provides Infor M3 implementation services, so ERP configuration and partner integration are planned together.
