We’re new to running M3 with Infor’s WMS, both in MT (Cloud). Is anyone interested in connecting to discuss your experiences? We’d love to hear about the integrations you’re leveraging and how you’re using Birst for near-real-time reporting. Any insights on maximizing value would be greatly appreciated! Show less...

Definitely interested understanding as well.
I'm interested as well.
I've experience here - for the cloud Birst has a Live Access connection to the WMS data, as that's structured in a very similar fashion to the traditional on-prem WMS data. For the time being, if you have one warehouse in WMS then you've plenty of flexibility as it's assumed you can only really look at one at a time from within Birst alone. If you have more than one and a need for tailored reporting then it's best to expose those reports in the WMS UI alongside the standard prebuilt WMS  Read more...reports, or embed the reports somewhere that allows selection of the warehouse you'd like to report on. The WMS UI generally forces you to pick a warehouse before doing much else, such as run a report. To add new reports to WMS, there are some procedures to take to get that done but it's not too bad.

I know some organizations are using the Infor Data Lake to receive WMS data in order to do other things with it, but there was a significant delay in transmission between WMS and the Data Lake, on the order of multiple hours for records to show up. I think that's supposed to be reduced at some point, but I don't know if that's happened.
