• Location: Green Bay or Remote (United States)
• Department: Professional Services
• Reports To: Director, Professional Services
• Employment Type: Full time
• Salary Range: USD 75k- 85k + Incentive based bonus plan

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

Our newest initiative, APS Made Easier™ (APS-ME), helps manufacturers unlock the full potential of Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS). By combining deep domain expertise, proven processes, and ready-to-use accelerators, we enable companies to achieve rapid, measurable improvements, from higher on-time shipments and reduced lead times to lower inventories and improved throughput.

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.

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.

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.

Qualifications Required:

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

• 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%).

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.
• Professional Growth – Build expertise in advanced planning, analytics, and customer consulting across diverse manufacturing industries.
• Collaborative Culture – Work in a supportive, entrepreneurial environment where your insights shape both client outcomes and product direction.
• Flexibility & Balance – Enjoy flexibility in managing your work and travel commitments.
• Competitive Compensation – Receive a comprehensive package including salary, incentives, benefits, and development opportunities.

If you are a results-driven professional with a passion for applying technology to solve real manufacturing challenges, we invite you to join our team at The Lake Companies. Through Fact-Trak and APS Made Easier™, you’ll help clients achieve measurable improvements in on-time shipments, inventory reduction, and operational efficiency.

Apply today and take the next step in transforming both your career and the future of manufacturing.
