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.

A great choice for straight manufacturing, but not suitable for complex manufacturing models
SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module. One of my clients is a project-based organization, and they're finding it extremely difficult to manage their business using SYSPRO, to the point that they're looking at alternative solutions. The Projects and Contracts module is not a very useful tool. It does project accounting reasonably well, but in terms of putting in proper structures, like a work breakdown structure and so forth, it's actually quite poor. Their design or their architecture for the Projects module isn't good enough. They need to redesign it and redevelop it. They have made improvements. However, the problem is that if you're building on a bad foundation, then your building isn't going to be very strong. That's principally their problem. Any heavy equipment company would have a requirement to keep their equipment available for production. In that sense, SYSPRO has no maintenance management functionality. There's also no functionality for field services management. These two functionalities are critical for places like mines or for heavy equipment manufacturers who service the aftermarket and so forth. From a product perspective, this obviously isn't a good place to be because they are sort of taking themselves out of the market for quite a number of industries. They are constrained to manufacturing and distribution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"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."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making, but not as fast as we want due to internal processes."
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"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."
"It has helped control operations in our Storage and Distribution Center, including processes such as Product reception, Inventory, Quality and inspection management, Shipping, General ledger, and Invoicing."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"The Financial Accounting module, in general, is quite good; it is quite simple but powerful, and similarly, the Manufacturing functionality, including a multiple level bill of materials, is also quite useful."
 

Cons

"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"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."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool; it is hard to use right now because it has a lot of customizations, and we are having issues pulling the reports."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"The inventory module needs to be improved as it is not that easy to use."
"I would like to see a better reporting tool."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"SYSPRO at the moment is lacking on the project side. There's a module called Projects and Contracts, and it's a poorly designed module."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"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."
