If additional requirements are to be efficiently addressed
Many Infor LN users are familiar with this situation: In day-to-day operations, additional requirements arise that cannot always be optimally addressed within the existing system.
In practice, we repeatedly encounter similar challenges:
Custom requirements can quickly lead to time-consuming development
Approvals and ancillary processes run outside the ERP system
Existing masks are too complex or impractical for certain user groups
Departments work with siloed solutions
Particularly in complex manufacturing environments – such as mechanical engineering, plant engineering or customised manufacturing projects – processes regularly arise that need to be tailored more closely to day-to-day operations.
Infor Mongoose as a platform for ERP-related applications
Infor Mongoose is a development platform for the rapid creation of enterprise applications. It helps organisations deploy apps, forms and process support tools with minimal programming effort.
This is particularly relevant when existing ERP processes need to be enhanced, user interfaces improved, or specific requirements implemented more efficiently. Applications can be developed as browser-based solutions and used on desktops, tablets and smartphones.
In our view, Mongoose is particularly strong in situations where requirements are closely aligned with existing ERP processes, whilst at the same time greater flexibility is needed in implementation.
- Development of applications with reduced programming effort
- Browser-based development and deployment
- Use on various end devices
- Support for workflows and form logic
- Integration with Infor ION and Ming.le
- Can be deployed on-premises or in the cloud
What are the benefits of Infor Mongoose?
When processes need to be adapted at short notice, speed is crucial. With Infor Mongoose, new applications and user interfaces can be deployed in a structured and efficient manner.
This is particularly relevant when:
- Business units have short-term requirements
- Operational processes need to be digitised
- Smaller-scale expansions need to be implemented cost-effectively
Infor Mongoose is designed to enable the implementation of business-critical applications without unnecessary complexity. This can help to reduce the effort involved compared with traditional bespoke development.
Currently on:
- Form logic
- Additional data entry
- Simple process applications
- User interfaces
- Workflow support
Applications can be deployed for browsers and mobile devices. This is particularly relevant for processes in manufacturing, service or field operations.
With Infor Mongoose, you can provide:
- simplified input forms
- role-based interfaces
- mobile applications
- process-specific apps
The platform is integrated with Infor ION and Infor Ming.le. This makes Infor Mongoose particularly well-suited to scenarios in which applications need to be closely linked to existing Infor processes and data flows.
According to the manufacturer, user-specific extensions and customisations are stored as metadata separately from the core application. This facilitates further development that is compatible with updates.
Typical use cases for Infor Mongoose
Infor Mongoose is particularly useful for companies operating within the Infor ecosystem that wish to implement specific requirements more quickly and in a manner that is more closely aligned with the system.
Not every process can be optimally mapped within the standard ERP system for every user group. Additional forms can help to make data entry simpler and more targeted.
Typical examples:
- Simplified production feedback
- Service recording
- Quality reporting
- Mobile data collection
- Complaints recording
- Additional project-related information
Many companies still manage approvals via email or using non-integrated tools. With Infor Mongoose, such processes can be supported in a more structured way and more closely integrated with the system.
Infor Mongoose can be used, for example, to support:
- Purchasing approvals
- Investment approvals
- Technical change processes
- Quality approvals
- Tender and project approvals
Lean mobile applications are particularly needed in service, fieldwork and production-related areas. Cross-device compatibility is therefore an important added value.
Possible scenarios:
- Mobile service calls
- Warehouse and logistics processes
- Shop floor applications
- Mobile approvals
- Field service processes
- Production reports
If individual departments have their own requirements but there is a need to avoid creating isolated, parallel solutions, Infor Mongoose can provide a suitable foundation for ERP-related applications.
Infor Mongoose can be used to integrate:
- additional departmental processes
- supplementary data models
- smaller operational applications
more closely with existing ERP processes.
Particularly in established ERP environments, acceptance is often a question of user experience.
Additional interfaces can help to:
- simplify processes
- reduce errors
- minimise training requirements
- guide users more effectively through workflows
How would you classify Infor Mongoose from a technical perspective?
Infor Mongoose is not a standalone low-code platform outside the ERP world, but is designed for ERP-related applications within the Infor ecosystem.
Key technical features include, amongst others:
- Metadata-based development approach
- Browser-based applications
- Role-based user interfaces
- Form and workflow logic
- Integration via Infor ION
- Use of relational data models
- Cloud and on-premises deployment options
How we support businesses at Infor Mongoose
For Infor Mongoose to deliver genuine added value, more is required than just a technical understanding of the tool. The key factors are which use cases make good business sense, how they can be seamlessly integrated into the existing Infor landscape, and how extensions can be kept manageable in the long term.
Among other things, we support companies with:
Identification of relevant use cases
Prioritisation based on business value and feasibility
Design of applications, forms and workflows
Integration into existing Infor processes and system landscapes
Implementation and roll-out
Governance, further development and optimisation
Frequently Asked Questions about Infor Mongoose
Infor Mongoose is particularly useful when additional applications, forms or workflows need to be closely integrated with existing Infor processes. This is especially true for companies looking to replace manual sub-processes, simplify user interfaces or implement specific requirements more quickly.
Typical examples include approval processes, supplementary input screens, mobile applications, department-specific user interfaces and process support closely linked to ERP systems. This solution is particularly well suited to use cases that are closely linked to day-to-day operations and are intended to be integrated into existing Infor systems.
Infor Mongoose can offer advantages when requirements need to be implemented in a structured manner, quickly and with minimal programming effort. However, whether this approach makes more sense than traditional development always depends on complexity, integration requirements, governance and the long-term target architecture.
In many cases, yes. If information has previously been recorded, checked or approved outside the system, Infor Mongoose can help bring such processes closer to the existing Infor landscape and make them more consistent.
