Infor LN UI Modernization Options
Infor LN's traditional interface is a persistent source of user complaints. While LN's underlying functionality is powerful for complex manufacturing, the user experience feels dated compared to modern SaaS applications. Users accustomed to consumer-grade interfaces struggle with LN's session-based navigation, dense data screens, and keyboard-centric workflows. This friction directly impacts user adoption, data quality, and the ability to attract younger workers. Fortunately, several modernization paths exist.
Current UI Options for Infor LN
Infor offers multiple UI layers for LN: the traditional rich client (BShell), Web UI through Infor OS portal, and Ming.le homepages with embedded LN sessions. Third-party solutions and custom web portals add further options. The right choice depends on your user population—power users who need full LN functionality, occasional users who need simplified views, and mobile users who need field access to specific data.
- LN Web UI: Browser-based access to full LN functionality with modern styling and responsive layout
- Ming.le homepages: Role-based dashboards with embedded LN sessions and cross-app widgets
- Custom web portals: Purpose-built interfaces for specific workflows like shop floor or approvals
- Mobile apps: Infor Go or custom mobile solutions for field and warehouse LN operations
Practical Modernization Strategy
The most effective approach is a tiered modernization that addresses each user segment differently. Power users (planners, controllers) stay on full LN Web UI with Ming.le homepages for navigation. Occasional users (managers, approvers) get custom simplified interfaces for their specific tasks. Shop floor and warehouse users get mobile-optimized interfaces. This tiered approach delivers the highest impact at the lowest cost and risk.
- Identify user segments and their top 5 tasks to prioritize interface modernization efforts
- Deploy Ming.le homepages as the entry point for all LN users to improve first impressions
- Build simplified web forms for approval workflows that account for 40% of occasional user interactions
- Implement mobile scanning and data capture for shop floor users to replace paper-based processes
