Infor Gold Resell Partner for discrete manufacturers in North America. InterformNG2 Output Management for Infor XA on IBM i and Infor CloudSuite Industrial, including FormPack by Interform, Guide's pre-built Infor form library.
Guide Technologies is an Infor Gold Resell Partner headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, founded in 1997 by Fred Cramer and Doug Bulla. Its US-based consulting team specialises in discrete manufacturing and works only with Infor ERP: Infor XA for manufacturers on IBM i, Infor CloudSuite Industrial (SyteLine), and Infor LN.
Infor has named Guide Partner of the Year (2006), Manufacturing Partner of the Year (2009), XA Partner of the Year (2014) and Cloud Manufacturing Partner of the Year (2019). Alongside implementation and managed services, Guide builds its own products for Infor customers. One of them, FormPack by Interform, packages a pre-built Infor form library with Interform's Output Management platform.
Many discrete manufacturers run Infor XA on IBM i (Power) - a stable, business-critical platform. Those systems produce a constant stream of documents and labels: purchase orders, order acknowledgements, packing lists, invoices and barcoded output. InterformNG2 produces every one of those documents from a single Output Management platform and delivers them to the right destination.
Guide runs the Infor side: ERP consulting, manufacturing process design, implementation, managed services and its own FormPack templates. Interform supplies InterformNG2, the IBM i integration and product engineering from Denmark. Between them, a customer gets a dedicated output layer for Infor without any custom ERP development.
InterformNG2 connects to the IBM i environment and takes over the output Infor XA produces: purchase orders, sales documents, packing lists, production paperwork and shipping labels. Forms and labels are maintained in InterformNG2 without changing XA configuration, so output stays stable through upgrades.
InterformNG2 for IBM i →FormPack gives you the standard Infor forms already built, so a project starts from working templates rather than a blank page. It is available for Infor XA and Infor CloudSuite Industrial, covers PDF, PDF/A, email, barcode and RFID, and the form definitions move with you if you change Infor ERP.
