Infor CloudSuite Industrial, historically known as SyteLine, is an enterprise resource planning system designed for industrial and discrete manufacturers. It combines manufacturing, supply chain, inventory, financial, customer order and service processes in one environment.

The product supports cloud deployment and uses Infor technology such as ION integration services, API Gateway, Infor OS, analytics and workflow capabilities. Infor positions it for machinery and equipment, electronics, metal fabrication and related manufacturing sectors.

Infor does not publish a standard public price for CloudSuite Industrial. Commercial terms normally depend on users, modules, deployment model, sites, industry requirements, implementation scope and selected services.

Capterra lists the product as requiring a vendor quote and reports that a free trial is not available. Infor provides product demonstrations and sales contact forms rather than self-service checkout or a public trial signup.
