Hatco, US-based manufacturer of hats, creates the bedrock for digital transformation with the Cloud

Hatco is the largest US manufacturer of fur felt and straw hats for western and formal wear. Hatco was running their business operations on Infor M3, however, they were experiencing some issues that in their production reporting process. They connected with Fortude in early 2021 to resolve some Infor M3 related issues they were facing. Fortude was able to resolve these issues that Hatco had been dealing with for several years in just a span of two months.

Fortude then engaged with the Hatco team to conduct detailed discovery sessions across a two-week period to identify the processes, modifications, integrations and pain points of the existing solution. The discovery sessions revealed several gaps in Hatco’s existing solution. The Fortude team developed a three-phased approach to resolve ongoing issues, upgrade to Infor’s CloudSuite Fashion, and finally perform a solution optimization in the Cloud.
