What Guide Technologies does

Guide Technologies is a privately held US-based Infor Gold Resell Partner founded in 1997, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, with 644 US-based employees operating across at least five states (Indiana, California, Massachusetts, Ohio, South Carolina). The company specializes in implementing, reselling, and supporting Infor's enterprise ERP platforms — CloudSuite Industrial (CSI/SyteLine), Infor XA, and Infor LN — for discrete manufacturers in verticals including aerospace & defense, automotive, industrial machinery, medical device, electronics, and 7+ adjacent manufacturing segments. Customers are predominantly enterprise and mid-market manufacturers referencing engagements such as cloud migration, multi-site rollouts, and legacy system consolidation.

The company's core technology stack rests on Infor's ERP platforms, augmented by Guide's proprietary add-on modules including the System-Link Toolkit (SLTK) for simplified XA data imports, Scan-N-Track for MES, Click Mail, FormPack by Interform, RollPro 360, EFIN Essentials, ERP 2 EDI, and Item Availability. Following the December 2025 acquisition of Agility, Inc., the portfolio expanded to include Able to Make (A2M) production optimization and Agility Logistics Modules. Guide's i25 (Implementation Intelligence 5) methodology structures the delivery process from project management through post-implementation support. The stated 100% on-budget and on-time project metric and 9-year average employee tenure anchor the value proposition around execution quality and vertical expertise.

Guide's revenue model combines four streams: Infor software license reselling (VAR/subscription), professional services (implementation, consulting, custom development, training, project management), managed services, and licensing of proprietary add-on products. Pricing is quote-based and project-tied, with annual subscription billing for cloud deployments. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise field sales for large manufacturers, inside sales for mid-market, and channel-led distribution through Infor's partner network. The company is led by Managing Partners Todd Moritz and Shane Barger, who jointly led the Agility acquisition.

Broad incumbents

• SYSPRO: SYSPRO offers manufacturing-focused ERP for discrete and process manufacturers globally, competing in the same mid-market and enterprise discrete manufacturing segment that Guide serves through Infor implementations.
• IFS: IFS provides enterprise ERP including IFS Cloud for manufacturing industries (aerospace & defense, industrial manufacturing, automotive), competing for larger enterprise discrete manufacturing deals alongside Guide's Infor LN / CloudSuite Industrial practice.
• JobBOSS (Exact Software): JobBOSS is an ERP solution for small and mid-sized job shops and discrete manufacturers, now part of Exact. Competes in the same SMB discrete manufacturing segment where Guide positions Infor CloudSuite Industrial.
• Plex Systems (Rockwell Automation): Plex (now part of Rockwell Automation) offers a cloud-native manufacturing ERP platform serving discrete and process manufacturers. Comparable offering to Infor CloudSuite Industrial with a stronger SaaS-native posture, now backed by Rockwell's industrial automation footprint.
• Epicor Software: Epicor provides ERP solutions including Epicor Kinetic targeted at manufacturing industries including aerospace, automotive, industrial machinery, and medical devices — directly overlapping Guide's served verticals with a proprietary (non-Infor) platform.
• Avanade: Avanade (Accenture and Microsoft joint venture) is a large systems integrator with deep ERP and cloud transformation capabilities. Competes for enterprise ERP programs in manufacturing and adjacent industries.
• Slalom Consulting: Slalom is a large global consulting and technology services firm with a significant ERP and cloud transformation practice. Competes for enterprise manufacturing transformation mandates where Guide's enterprise field sales motion is active.

Direct peers

• Western Computer: Western Computer is also an Infor Gold Resell Partner focused on ERP implementations for discrete and process manufacturers. Closest direct peer given matching Infor Gold tier status, vertical overlap in manufacturing, and similar Infor ERP reseller/services business model.
• Global Shop Solutions: Global Shop Solutions sells a competing ERP platform purpose-built for discrete manufacturers. Direct competitor targeting the same mid-market customer base (job shops, make-to-stock, make-to-order manufacturers) that Guide serves with Infor CloudSuite Industrial.

Others

• Infor: Infor is the underlying ERP vendor whose CloudSuite Industrial, Infor XA, and Infor LN products Guide resells, implements, and extends. Not a direct competitor but a strategic ecosystem partner whose roadmap and partner program economics shape Guide's business.
