ERP software like Infor M3 has revolutionized the way businesses manage complex processes and workflows, increasing efficiency and automation to aid in the delivery of products and services.
One of the key strengths of ERP lies in its flexibility, capable of taking on different forms to suit businesses of all shapes and sizes. But while every ERP implementation is different, there’s one critical element at the heart of each and every one: data.
As with most ERP solutions, however, managing and manipulating data in Infor M3 can be complicated, with users often having to trawl through large numbers of records to find key information or complete a given task. It’s cumbersome and time-consuming, and the constant jumping around leads to an increased scope for human error.
That’s why we built VXL, a tool designed with a single aim in mind: to simplify the management of data and transactions in Infor M3.
With VXL, data management takes place directly in Microsoft Excel, allowing users to update multiple records with ease. To help make sense of their data, VXL customers are able to generate charts and tables, map trends or analyze the historical view – all in Excel.
All communication between M3 and Excel is via API. It’s simple and secure, and there’s even built-in data validation to catch human errors as they occur.
VXL is also incredibly easy to use. If you know how to use Microsoft Excel, you know how to use VXL right out of the box – no training required.

‘VXL is a fantastic tool for input and maintenance of data M3 (version 13.3 We are using VXL on our office mainly for master data maintenance and for generation of purchase and sales order for invocing. Our masterdata team are saving lot of time and cost by using VXL. By implementing VXL, the users have become more independent and are able to complete more tasks without help from the IT department.
