Epicor Software
Specifically Eipcor comes in handy daily by easily tracking manpower, deliveries, inspections, and other daily tracked items. It is well suited for day to day operations where others can fill in or pick up if somewhere were out of the office. Epicor is less appropriate in providing weekly updates to teams and customers. It is easier to extract the necessary information off of the software to generate your own reports then try to procure one using the software itself.

I think Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is well suited to an established company that is relatively inflexible and large. It contains very large divisions or even separate entities that all feed into the same database / g/l structure. The optimal company will not have many changes over time, and will be configured once and any new divisions or companies will be forced to fit into the corporate dictated structure and rules.

Usability
Epicor Software
Epicor BisTrack is essential for those in the lumber and building materials industry, especially if they are in the wholesale/distribution side of things. I provided the rating because I feel that BisTrack has contributed a lot for my company and provided with essential information for decision-making on a day-to-day basis. The score also reflects that while BisTrack is an essential software for my business, there is also room for improvement so that the end users will be able to obtain what they need from the software.

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.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance is more robust, and can handle larger, more complex business operations, and have better delineation between corporate management and divisions in a company, but it is not flexible, nor easy to change. It is complex, inflexible, and difficult to incorporate new workflows or business rules to accommodate changes in the business. We have changed over the past decade and while F&O is big and robust, it is not nimble.

  • Because F&O is not very nimble, we are looking to reimplement
  • The lack of interoperability has hindered our ability to use external tools to supplement shortcomings of the product
  • The inflexibility has lead to great frustration from team leads
