Triumph Motorcycles, the iconic British motorcycle manufacturer, has selected Infor as its IT partner to support the business in achieving a major global transformation of its business systems.

The Infor suite of software will be used initially to transform Triumph's global motorcycle order to fulfilment process, delivering improved manufacturing agility and enabling Triumph to offer an even greater premium customer experience.

Infor's automotive suite of applications will support 1,600 users across 24 countries and will go live in 2019 following a deployment that will be undertaken in four key phases. Infor won the competitive pitch based on its in-depth focus on the automotive market, scale and global capability, and credentials as both a vendor and implementation partner.

Replacing a host of legacy systems Infor's suite of applications will support manufacturing and assembly operations for Triumph in the UK, Thailand, Brazil and India. Specific areas of focus include advanced analytics to evaluate production performance metrics on the assembly line, supply chain synchronisation, including financial integration, and real time reporting. In turn this will help enable Triumph to exercise greater flexibility and efficiency across a truly global manufacturing and supply chain network.

"We are committed to embracing the next phase of our growth with the very best tools to deliver on our vision, and Infor's modern technology platform, combined with applications designed specifically for the needs of automotive manufacturers, will equip us with a single platform from which to run our global manufacturing operations efficiently and flexibly," says Nick Bloor, CEO, Triumph Motorcycles.

With 14,000 employees and customers in more than 200 countries and territories, Infor automates critical processes for industries including healthcare, manufacturing, fashion, wholesale distribution, hospitality, retail, and public sector.

Headquartered in New York City, it is also home to one of the largest creative agencies in Manhattan, Hook & Loop.

Building around 54,500 bikes per year, Triumph is the largest British motorcycle manufacturer and has over 750 dealers across the world. It has subsidiary operations in the UK, America, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, Sweden, Benelux, Brazil, India, Indonesia and Thailand. Triumph has manufacturing facilities in Hinckley, Leicestershire, and Thailand plus CKD facilities in Brazil and India.
