    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.

    Ideally it can work with any kind of retailer but workarounds and customisations required to handle deliveries.

    Cons
    Epicor Software
    • 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

    • Data Director leaves room for improvement as it can be very tricky while dealing with a large number of master data records. Sometimes it doesn't write delete actions to POS.
    • Furniture retail is another area where improvement is required to handle deliveries.
    • Newer versions don't support data replicator which was the most reliable data tool with earlier LS Retail versions. There should be a replacement for this tool.

    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.
