    DDI Inform is well-suited for flexible solutions (cloud/on-premise) and simple scenarios for distributors. It also helps to be on a relaxed timeline as support if very slow if things go wrong. It's less appropriate if you need things done now, want to go deeper into data or customization, or don't have a knowledgeable IT resource that can help you with various software quirks/deploys.

    Epicor BisTrack works well for us, as we have the WMS gun and a huge warehouse with inventory that needs to be located. It is also nice for looking at long-term product sales history.

    • Easier User Interface; hard to navigate or learn
    • Financial module could use improvement; i.e. the Accounts Receivable function is lacking and hard to find information easily
    • More customization of the built-in reporting and analytics

    It gets the job done most of the time. Customization and support bring the score down

    I've used many other operating systems; AS/400, Oracle, etc and this one is the easiest to manipulate the information needed. I am certain there are more functions that I need to learn.

    Apologies, our company's IT department contacts support on our behalf. I have never contacted Epicor BisTrack's support myself; only through my company's IT team.

    Epicor BisTrack helps keep track of things better and it in fact much easier to use.
