Custom Enterprise Pricing

This ERP does not publish a standard price list. All pricing is negotiated directly with the vendor or authorised partner based on your specific requirements: module scope, user count, infrastructure, contract length, and strategic value. Custom-priced ERPs are almost always negotiable — engaging an independent ERP advisor or specialist procurement consultant typically saves 15–30% versus vendor-led negotiations.

Infor M3 Pricing FAQs

What is Infor M3 used for?
Infor M3 is an ERP designed specifically for process manufacturers (food & beverage, chemicals, pharmaceuticals), fashion & apparel companies, and wholesale distributors. It provides strong batch manufacturing, recipe management, quality control, and multi-company capabilities that general-purpose ERPs often lack.
How much does Infor M3 cost?
Infor M3 is custom-priced based on user count, industry edition, and deployment scope. Indicative per-user costs range from $150–$350/user/month. Annual software costs for a typical mid-market deployment (50–200 users) range from $300,000–$1M+. Comprehensive implementation for a process manufacturer commonly adds $500,000–$2M+.
Is Infor M3 suitable for food and beverage manufacturers?
Yes. Infor M3 is one of the leading ERP platforms for food and beverage manufacturers, offering lot traceability, recipe and formula management, quality and compliance controls, and consumer goods-specific supply chain functionality. Many global food companies run on Infor M3.
How does Infor M3 compare to SAP for process manufacturing?
Infor M3 offers deeper pre-built functionality for process manufacturing compared to SAP's generic approach, often resulting in lower implementation costs and faster time-to-value for process-focused businesses. SAP provides broader overall ERP coverage, a larger partner ecosystem, and stronger analytics, but requires more customisation for process manufacturing.
Can Infor M3 integrate with other systems?
Yes. Infor M3 integrates via Infor ION (the integration middleware included in Infor OS) with third-party systems including MES, QMS, WMS, CRM, and ecommerce platforms. A growing library of pre-built ION integrations reduces custom integration development cost.
