Infor, a business application software provider, this weeksaid that Zahid Tractor & Heavy Machinery, the Saudi Arabian Caterpillar dealer as well as a dealer for Volvo and Renault trucks, will be the first Zahid Group company to implement Infor M3 for Equipment. There will be a two-year rollout process.

Zahid also operates Cat Rental Store facilities.

Infor M3 consists of applications such as supply chain execution, warehouse mobility, sales management and financial accounting.
