Infor purchases Predictix for demand analytics

In buying Predictix, Infor gets a cloud-based solution for retail prescriptive and predictive analytics that the vendor needed in order to win the business of omnichannel retailers. As retailers strive to compete in the world of omnichannel commerce over the next five years, the acquisition allows Infor to provide real-time decision- making intelligence on demand for store and supply chain management that merchants must have to compete against the likes of Amazon.
