Spendrups moves from customised Infor M3 10.1 to Infor CloudSuite with Elvenite

Customer

Spendrups Bryggeri

Production go-live

9 March 2026

Platform

Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage

Spendrups worked with Elvenite to upgrade the business system it had used on premises since 2013. The project replaced Infor M3 10.1 and its extensive functional modifications with a solution built around Infor CloudSuite’s standard tools and Novacura.

The work covered the move to the cloud and the development of solutions for customer-specific requirements. Mobile applications for warehouse, service and production formed part of the delivery, alongside a model for support and recurring functional releases after go-live.

The project at a glance

Starting point: Infor M3 10.1 on premises, used since 2013, with extensive functional modifications

Core platform: Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage, using Infor standard tools for customer-specific solutions

Mobile applications: Novacura for warehouse transactions/WMS, service and production

Production go-live: 9 March 2026

The challenge

Spendrups’ starting point was an older ERP environment with extensive functional modifications. The move to CloudSuite required a new way to support the requirements that those modifications had addressed.

The challenge was to establish a more standard-based solution while addressing Spendrups’ operational needs. This included mobile workflows in warehouse operations, service and production, as well as a basis for developing the system through Infor’s recurring releases.

“

We wanted to move away from a heavily modified system and create a more standard-based foundation future proof for the business. Working with Elvenite, we have taken that step and established a platform we can continue to benefit from continuous development.

How Elvenite addressed the challenge

Elvenite worked with Spendrups on the cloud upgrade and the solutions around it. The approach combined Infor’s standard tools, Novacura mobile applications and a joint project organisation with experience in brewery and food and beverage operations.

Establishing a more standard based ERP foundation

The project replaced legacy functional modifications with solutions developed using Infor CloudSuite’s standard tools and Novacura. Customer-specific development remained part of the solution, built within the framework of those tools.

Infor Development also supported Spendrups and Elvenite in developing enhancement requests. The work brought some of the customer’s requirements into the CloudSuite environment while changing how those requirements were implemented.

Supporting mobile work with Novacura

Novacura replaced the mobile apps Spendrups already used and complemented the ERP platform with mobile applications for warehouse transactions and warehouse management, service and production. These applications supported mobile ways of working in the operational areas covered by the upgrade.

Novacura replaced the mobile apps we already used in warehouse, service and production, and has simplified day-to-day work there. For us, the value is a more consistent way of working and a system we can continue to improve.

Working together through design and deployment

The pre-study began in January 2024 and moved into an upgrade project in autumn 2024. Around 70 people from Spendrups and around 30 Elvenite consultants participated in the project.

The teams followed Elvenite’s project methodology, with shared goals and close collaboration through design and deployment. Infor CloudSuite went live in production on 9 March 2026.

What has been delivered

The completed upgrade established the new ERP foundation and the accompanying mobile solutions:

ERP: Infor CloudSuite Food & Beverage went live in production on 9 March 2026, replacing the older on-premises M3 environment.
Customer-specific solutions: legacy functional modifications were replaced using Infor standard tools and Novacura.
Mobile applications: Novacura supported warehouse transactions/WMS, service and production workflows.

The move also included Elvenite Application Support and Feature Release Management to help Spendrups manage Infor’s recurring functional releases.

“

Replacing our modifications with Infor’s standard tools meant rethinking how we solve our requirements. Working side by side with Elvenite, we found new ways to do that, and with Feature Release Management we are better prepared for every new release.

Continuing development after go-live

The upgrade established a more standard-based CloudSuite foundation, with Novacura supporting mobile work and a release-management arrangement for recurring functionality. For Elvenite and Spendrups, this connects the completed upgrade with the ongoing work of supporting and developing the business systems as operational requirements evolve.
