ESS 2026: Infor CloudSuite Industrial, an AI-Driven ERP for SMB Manufacturers

Infor’s long-standing partner Godlan will demo Infor CloudSuite Industrial (CSI) at TEC’s Enterprise Software Showcase (ESS) 2026, taking place from February 23rd to the 25th at the Renaissance Austin Hotel in Austin, Texas.
Godlan, Inc. is a Michigan-based partner of Infor that specializes in implementation, consulting, and other services for Infor CloudSuite Industrial (formerly SyteLine ERP), mainly for manufacturing clients.
Founded in 1984, Godlan has been working exclusively with SyteLine ERP software, from the product’s original development by Symix, through several name changes and owners, until the product line was acquired by Infor in 2005.
Since then, Godlan has established a very close and productive relationship with Infor, becoming today not only a software distributor but also an Infor Gold Channel Partner. Godlan provides pre-sales resources, solution architecting, vision and facilitation of software implementation, technical support through implementation, best practices consulting, along with deep industry expertise, forming, along with Infor, a powerful software and services synergy.

Infor CloudSuite Industrial, a High-Level View

Designed with the needs of small to midsize businesses (SMBs) in mind, especially manufacturers, Infor CloudSuite Industrial provides a modern ERP foundation to support growth, innovation, and operational efficiency.
Attendees at TEC’s ESS 2026 will have the opportunity to explore how Infor CloudSuite Industrial helps businesses integrate finance, manufacturing, and supply chain operations while embedding AI-powered decision-making into daily processes.
For organizations considering a new ERP system for their business, particularly in manufacturing-heavy sectors, Infor CloudSuite Industrial represents a compelling solution that blends flexibility, advanced functionality, and deep industry experience.

Infor CloudSuite Industrial is a flexible ERP platform that can be deployed in the cloud, on premises, or in a hybrid model, allowing organizations to choose the pace and scope of their digital transformation initiative. Its adaptability makes it especially attractive to SMBs balancing modernization with existing infrastructure investments.
The platform is designed for manufacturers, distributors, and service organizations, with a strong presence in industries such as discrete manufacturing, industrial equipment, and automotive supply. Its core functional areas include finance, supply chain, manufacturing execution, distribution, and quality management—all connected within a unified system to mitigate silos, improve visibility and transparency, and provide real-view of the business environment.
The platform extends beyond operational basics, covered by its key modules, addressing advanced scheduling, product configuration, warehouse management, customer relationship management, and other manufacturing-related functional areas. The suite also integrates natively with all Infor’s software ecosystem, including the Infor OS platform, providing workflow automation, application programming interface (API)-driven integration, and advanced reporting capabilities.
For SMBs in need of an ERP that scales with growth, Infor CloudSuite Industrial offers breadth and depth—without the weight of overly complex enterprise systems.

Key Strengths & Differentiators

One capability that sets CloudSuite Industrial apart from the competition is its focus on innovation and usability tailored for the midmarket. The platform incorporates AI-driven analytics and automation through Infor’s Coleman AI, which supports predictive insights for demand planning, anomaly detection in manufacturing processes, and natural language querying for business users.
This AI-driven layer transforms ERP from a passive system of record into an active system of intelligence.
Another highlight of Infor CloudSuite Industrial is its integration capabilities. With built-in connections to productivity tools, third-party apps, and external enterprise systems, companies can centralize and synchronize information sharing and avoid fragmented information technology (IT) landscapes.
Additionally, the platform is supported by Infor’s responsive, role-based interfaces, which present contextually relevant data and dashboards tailored to business roles, thereby enhancing the user experience.
In this regard, Steve Lee, CEO at Aqualux Product—a customer organization using Infor CSI—mentions:
“By implementing Infor CloudSuite Industrial, we have become a more agile organization. We are able to respond faster and more effectively to customer demands and marketplace challenges, however unexpected they might be.”
