Automation reduces manual processes and enhances operational efficiency
Almost all the features are useful, from procurement to manufacturing, as they are interconnected and useful. The procurement process stands out particularly. We have been able to implement customizations to meet our approval processes, making it easier to get PO approvals and requests approved. Having multiple people approve before a PO is completed is streamlined, and the system is easy to customize and modify. The system has reduced many manual processes, and we have automated several processes in Epicor ERP, allowing bots to run some processes without manual intervention. The system has enhanced accuracy, especially when the base data is correct and automation can read the data properly. The accuracy is above 90%, and when errors occur, automation informs users quickly before posting items to the GL. Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting. The internal reports of Epicor ERP have been instrumental in strategic planning.

Offers inventory management, basic ERP functions but outdated interface
The interface looks a bit outdated. Epicor acquired iScala, which was originally developed in Sweden. I'm unsure if their intention is to eventually replace iScala with their primary Epicor ERP or continue developing iScala. Initially, it seemed they might replace it, but it appears iScala will remain a separate product.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"The product enables users to customize their dashboards and reports."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Epicor ERP paid for itself in the first year and a half, and continued to make the company lean and more profitable by providing tools to manage business operations better, such as production scheduling, finance, and estimating products."
"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"In terms of manufacturing and in terms of the configuring of the product to meet a variety of different types of manufacturing requirements, the product works well."
"The most valuable features of Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"I have seen companies triple their business using Epicor in just a few years."
"The accounting, purchasing, and basic ERP functions work well. But they are a little bit older, but they work for us. The inventory management is good and necessary for any company that manages stock for production or services."
 

Cons

"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"Epicor's system for measuring the performance of their support organization is fundamentally flawed (it does not ask the type of questions that would encourage the organization to make the type of changes that would truly elevate the organization."
"Everything requires changes, making it similar to developing a new platform from scratch."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"The support rates at 50% because most of the time the support team needs to relearn the processes, especially when a new person is assigned."
"We're facing challenges with iScala in the public sector, specifically healthcare. The system doesn't have sufficient support for the complexities of managing payments for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare staff."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"Compared to local ERP solutions, it's on the higher side."
