Infor consolidated more than 100 agents into 12, ERP Today reported, citing Infor. The report named no customer using the agents.
Infor, a maker of business software for manufacturers and distributors, released October 2026 updates for automotive suppliers, distributors and product quoting, ERP Today reported on Tuesday.
Each adds AI agents, software that carries out tasks on its own.
In the automotive suite, Infor says, an agent compares upcoming material needs with expected stock and recommends a fix. Planners review the recommendation and request the change.
In the quoting software, Infor says, an agent turns a request for a quote that arrives as a PDF into a structured quote. Those quoting features are available now, the report says.
Infor says agents can reach more than 6,000 connection points in LN, its manufacturing software, through a standard way for AI agents to connect to business systems. It also says it consolidated more than 100 single-purpose agents into 12 that each cover a business area.
Existing permissions still decide what an agent may reach, Infor says.
The desk's reading: the report quotes no customer and gives no price. Twelve agents instead of more than 100 is also a shorter list for an IT team to permission and audit.
