FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Lake Companies Acquires ProTrack Quality Management Software, Bringing Quality-Trak to the Lake MES Platform.
GREEN BAY, WISCONSIN: October 6, 2026. The Lake Companies, LLC, an Infor Gold Channel Partner and provider of manufacturing software for discrete manufacturers, announced on October 2, 2026 that it has acquired the ProTrack quality management software from xR Systems, Inc. ProTrack, a next-generation quality management system built specifically for Infor SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) manufacturers, now joins the Lake MES Platform as Quality-Trak.
Built natively on SyteLine, ProTrack delivers a superior quality management system spanning quality, change and engineering management, and production, including nonconformance and corrective action, audits, supplier management, document and engineering change orders, and cost of quality. As Quality-Trak, these capabilities become a core pillar of the Lake MES Platform, available to SyteLine and CSI manufacturers worldwide.
"Quality can no longer live in a silo. By bringing ProTrack into the Lake MES Platform as Quality-Trak, our customers get quality management that is part of the same system they already run their shop floor on, not a bolt-on," said Chris Orr, Chief Executive Officer of The Lake Companies. "This is quality data that moves with the job, from the shop floor to engineering to the analytics our customers use to run their business."
The Lake MES Platform is a manufacturing execution platform for Infor SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial that is bringing The Lake Companies' solutions together in a single environment. It includes Shop-Trak for shop floor data collection, Doc-Trak for document management, Machine-Trak for machine monitoring and Fact-Trak for manufacturing data and analytics, and now Quality-Trak for quality management. Shop-Trak, Doc-Trak and Fact-Trak already work on your SyteLine data today. The next direct product-to-product integration, Shop-Trak and Machine-Trak, is expected by the end of 2026, with more through 2027.
"ProTrack has always been about giving SyteLine manufacturers serious quality tools built the right way, inside the system they already trust," said Kenneth Liesegang, founder of xR Systems. "Joining the Lake MES Platform gives ProTrack the reach and the engineering behind it to serve many more manufacturers, and I look forward to supporting that next chapter."
Existing ProTrack customers will continue to be supported, and the software will be offered to new Infor SyteLine and CloudSuite Industrial manufacturers as Quality-Trak within the Lake MES Platform.
