inforum for
the manufacturing industry
Complex production processes, multi-stage supply chains and increasing regulatory requirements present manufacturing companies with structural challenges. inforum connects quality, supplier management and production on a shared data basis, consistently controllable, traceable and permanently audit-ready.
Consistency as a
management principle
Manufacturing companies share the same reality: specialized departments, heterogeneous system landscapes and often multiple sites. This applies across industries to medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies as well as companies in electrical engineering and metal processing.
Quality, supplier management and production are closely interconnected, yet in practice they are often managed in isolation, resulting in unclear responsibilities and high coordination effort. As a management platform, inforum closes the gap between isolated departments and consistent organizational management.
- One data basis for all processes
Quality, supplier management and production work on consistent, shared data instead of fragmented individual systems. - Audit-readiness without additional effort
Deviations, measures and evidence are available in full and traceable at all times. - Controllability for management
Consistent information creates the basis for reliable decisions and effective governance. - Transparency across locations
Processes, suppliers and measures are visible and controllable across locations and divisions. - Standard compliance structurally anchored
Industry-specific requirements from ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 to GxP and IFS are stored in the process and can be verified at any time.
Complexity knows many industries
Pharma & Biotechnology
CAPA processes, deviation management and risk management are regulatory requirements in pharmaceutical and biotechnology production. GxP-compliant documentation requires a consistent data basis across production, quality and compliance. inforum provides this structural foundation and connects quality, supplier management and documentation on a shared platform.
Medical devices & medical technology
ISO 13485 places high demands on documentation, traceability, risk management and supplier qualification. FMEA and systematic risk analyses are an integral part of product development and production. inforum combines these areas on a common platform that is auditable, regulatory compliant and with clear responsibilities across all process steps.
Electrical engineering & industrial electronics
A high number of variants, complex assemblies and international supply chains require synchronized management of changes, bill of materials transparency and supplier performance. Quality deviations and risks must be identified early across sites and supplier tiers. inforum creates the overarching view of quality, suppliers and production and makes deviations, risks and bottlenecks manageable.
Metal processing & component manufacturing
Series and small series production with many suppliers places high demands on process control, deviation management and supplier performance. Grown system landscapes and a lack of comparability between suppliers make consistent control across locations and areas difficult. inforum provides quality and purchasing teams with a common control basis that is transparent, comprehensible and cross-location.
Conformity to standards and methodological competence
Regulatory requirements differ by industry and market, from ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 to GxP and IFS. The challenge remains the same: processes, evidence and documentation must be consistent, complete and audit-ready at all times.
inforum maps these requirements structurally, processes are stored in compliance with standards and evidence is generated during ongoing operations.

inforum: one platform for all processes
Industrial manufacturing companies control suppliers, quality, production and service throughout the entire product life cycle, across functional, location and company boundaries. inforum connects these areas on a common database and creates the structural basis for consistent control, transparency and reliable decisions.

Supplier management
Strategic supplier management is a key lever for efficiency and quality in production. inforum creates transparency along the entire supply chain, makes risks visible at an early stage and replaces reactive escalation management with predictable, forward-looking control.
Quality management
Quality is not created at the end of the process, but along the entire product life cycle. inforum combines advance quality planning, series production support and complaint processing in one system and makes quality control measurable, traceable and auditable.
Production management
Stable production requires clear planning, reliable processes and consistent quality assurance. inforum combines production planning, process control and quality management in a common system and creates the basis for controllable processes in operational implementation.
Integrated management systems
Standards, processes and documentation rarely interact smoothly in practice. inforum creates the common basis for standard-compliant process and document control and ensures that requirements are mapped consistently and evidence is provided without gaps.
Field Service Management
Service processes have an impact far beyond the individual deployment. inforum combines customer complaints, deployment planning and error prevention in an end-to-end process and ensures that findings from the field are systematically fed back into upstream areas.
Digital apps
Today, processes extend to machines, customers and partners and require digital solutions that are seamlessly integrated. inforum extends the platform with digital applications that directly connect people, systems and data and bring platform functions into everyday operations in a targeted manner.
