Solutions Consultant – Fact-Trak & APS-ME
For more than 40 years, The Lake Companies has been a trusted partner to manufacturers worldwide. As one of the longest-standing Infor SyteLine partners, we don’t just resell and implement software, we innovate.

At The Lake Companies, we pride ourselves on being both trusted advisors and practical enablers. We work side-by-side with our customers to deliver solutions that don’t just improve business intelligence, they improve business outcomes.

Updated: September 2025
We are seeking a Solutions Consultant to join our team, with a focus on implementing and consulting around our Fact-Trak analytics and operational intelligence solution and our APS Made Easier™ (APS-ME) program.
This is not a software development role. Instead, you will focus on implementation, configuration, consulting, and customer enablement. You’ll work directly with manufacturing clients to understand their operational challenges, implement Fact-Trak dashboards and analytics (leveraging Microsoft Power BI), and guide customers through the APS-ME methodology to accelerate planning success.
As both a trusted advisor and hands-on practitioner, you will help clients achieve measurable improvements in on-time shipments, throughput, inventory reduction, and planning reliability.
Key Responsibilities:
- Implement Fact-Trak solutions for manufacturing clients, including setup, configuration, and deployment of dashboards, KPIs, and analytics using Power BI.
- Consult with customers to understand their planning and scheduling processes, operational pain points, and business goals, aligning Fact-Trak and APS-ME solutions to deliver measurable results.
- Lead APS-ME engagements, guiding clients through readiness assessments, accelerated launches, and adoption of best-practice planning processes.
- Deliver training and workshops for executives and operations teams, ensuring knowledge transfer, user confidence, and trust in planning outputs.
- Support change management, helping clients transition from manual or ineffective planning processes to automated, analytics-driven approaches.
- Enable clients to track and improve performance in areas such as on-time shipments, inventory turns, and throughput using Fact-Trak dashboards and APS-ME accelerators.
- Collaborate internally with product and consulting teams to share customer insights, influence product enhancements, and improve implementation practices.
- Represent The Lake Companies at customer sites, industry events, and APS-related initiatives as a trusted advisor.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).
- 3–5+ years of experience in ERP/APS consulting, manufacturing operations, or business intelligence implementation.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Power BI (or comparable analytics tools) for dashboards and data visualization.
- Strong understanding of manufacturing planning and scheduling concepts (APS, MRP, capacity planning, inventory management).
- Demonstrated ability to lead workshops and training sessions, translating complex processes into clear, actionable steps.
- Excellent communication, facilitation, and presentation skills with executives and front-line users alike.
- Proven consulting skills, with the ability to build trust and guide clients through process change.
- Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed (estimated 25–40%).
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) or other ERP systems.
- Familiarity with Fact-Trak, Shop-Trak, or Doc-Trak solutions.
- Background in Lean, Six Sigma, or process improvement methodologies.
- Exposure to change management practices in technology-enabled transformations.
- Willingness to travel to customer sites as needed (estimated 25–40%).
Knowledge, Skills & Abilities:
- Ability to be a key resource for implementing SyteLine ERP systems within customer organizations.
- Ability to provide initial and in-depth issue resolution for customers.
- Ability to test, validate, and provide the solution design of all financial processes.
- Ability to ensure common controls throughout the Inventory and Manufacturing processes.
- Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships.
- Ability to manage simultaneous projects.
- Ability to manage time appropriately and prioritize tasks in an organized fashion.
- Ability to drive a project from start to finish within the customer’s budget and timeframe in mind.
- Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships.
- Ability to effectively meet and work with fellow employees, customers, and potential customers.
- Demonstrated ability to train and provide consultation to customers in clear and concise manners.
What We Offer:
- Meaningful Impact – Help manufacturers achieve real improvements: higher on-time shipments, reduced inventories, faster throughput, and smarter planning.
- Innovation & Expertise – Join a company innovating for over 40 years, with solutions like Doc-Trak, Shop-Trak, Fact-Trak, and APS-ME.
