Essential Software Solutions, Inc. (ESS) is a Burnaby, British Columbia-based ERP consultancy that describes itself as being "Essential towards your success" for over five decades, serving manufacturers and service organizations. Its Infor practice covers Infor CloudSuite Industrial (also known as Syteline), Infor VISUAL for order-driven manufacturers, Infor Velocity Suite (AI-powered decision support layered on CloudSuite), Infor CPQ for product/sales configuration, and Infor Syteline Field Service for dispatch, service-contract and rental-management workflows.
ESS's services span ERP evaluation and selection, implementation, Infor ERP end-user and administrator training, and ERP strategy consulting framed around moving manufacturers from Industry 4.0 digital optimization toward Industry 5.0 human-centric operations. Its industry focus is broad within manufacturing: industrial manufacturing, metal fabrication, aerospace & defense, medical devices, windows & doors, equipment manufacturing, prefabrication, furniture and plastics fabrication, and high-tech/electronics manufacturing.
The company's own site states it is an "Infor ERP Partner" but does not specify a partner tier (e.g. Gold), an exact founding year, headcount, or any named client customers; those fields are left unverified here rather than inferred from an earlier partial read of the site that had suggested a specific partner tier.
