Both state a fit for companies in a similar size range and sit in comparable cost bands, which is why they turn up on the same shortlist. Everything below is drawn from the two vendor records, each of which cites its sources. Any other pairing can be built in the comparison tool, including ones we do not generate a page for.

How Stackmark characterises each system, in its own words, from the sourced record.
German mid-market ERP for make-to-order and engineer-to-order manufacturers, with most of its installed base in German-speaking Europe.
Infor's cloud ERP for small and midsize industrial manufacturers, sold as CloudSuite Industrial alongside optional MES, WMS, PLM and CPQ modules. It is aimed at to-order, project-based and multi-site discrete manufacturers moving off older systems.
Every module either system documents, side by side. A module both list is a shared claim, not a statement that the two implementations are equivalent.

This page is one pairing. Stackmark generates a page for the pairings a buyer is likely to shortlist, which is a starting point and not a limit: any two systems can be laid side by side, including combinations we never pair.
