Our award-winning solutions, including Doc-Trak, Shop-Trak, and Fact-Trak, extend and accelerate the value of SyteLine for our customers.

Position Overview:

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.

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:

  • 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.

Qualifications

Required:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Information Systems, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 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:

  • Experience with Infor SyteLine (CloudSuite Industrial) or other ERP systems.
