Infor Nexus

Core Features

Infor Nexus takes a network-first approach: connect multi-tier suppliers, centralize and reuse ESG and traceability data, and apply it across planning, execution, and finance to strengthen compliance and drive action. Building on that philosophy, some of its main capabilities include:

• Multi-tier Traceability (NexTrace). Track raw materials to finished goods, integrate supplier ESG data, and prepare for requirements like the EU Digital Product Passport.

• Supplier ESG Management. Survey suppliers, score performance, trigger corrective actions, and centralize third-party sustainability data on a single platform.

• Carbon Emissions Tracking. Consolidate data into a transport CO₂e dashboard and use analytics to reduce expedites and airfreight.

• Certificate Management. Validate scope and transaction certificates, auto-match against orders and shipments, and share evidence for product claims.

• Sustainable Supply Chain Finance. Offer preferential rates via a multi-bank network to incentivize supplier ESG performance.

• Regulatory Readiness. Support compliance for UFLPA, France’s AGEC law, Germany’s Supply Chain Act, and upcoming EU DPP with mapping and documentation tools.

Closing Insights

Infor Nexus evolved from the original GT Nexus network into Infor’s cloud platform for global supply chains, adding embedded ESG and traceability as regulations and brand expectations intensified. A distinguishing factor is how Nexus links operational signals (orders, shipments, and invoices) with sustainability evidence (e.g. supplier disclosures, certificates, and transport CO₂) and even finance, enabling brands to both measure and motivate change in their tiers. Its scale also stands out: the network connects more than 94,000 retailers, manufacturers, suppliers, logistics providers, and banks, enabling data reuse and shared processes across many counterparties.

Recent developments include the expansion of Nexus-enabled sustainable supply chain finance, exemplified by PUMA’s multi-bank program with HSBC, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and IFC, which ties stronger supplier ESG performance to preferential rates and faster days-to-cash. In parallel, Nexus has strengthened transport-emissions management across visibility and planning, offering a carbon-emissions dashboard and practices that help companies cut expedites and reduce air shipments, turning operational choices into measurable CO₂e reductions.

If you need to operationalize ESG (collect upstream evidence, reduce transport emissions, and align incentives) Nexus consolidates those workflows on one networked platform. Infor also offers professional services and training to support rollouts and process change, and the platform integrates across suppliers, carriers, and banking partners already active on the network.
