Epicor BisTrack vs. Zoho One

Epicor BisTrack is well-suited for the following scenarios:

• Lumber Yard Management: useful for managing lumber yards, including inventory tracking, order processing, and sales. It helps businesses optimize stock levels, streamline customer orders, and track various lumber products efficiently - can combine with other warehouse management software
• Building Materials Distribution: It excels in businesses that distribute building materials, such as wholesalers and distributors. The software handles order management, pricing, and supply chain operations effectively - this is my company's main course of business Epicor BisTrack is not suited for the following scenario(s):
• Epicor BisTrack is pretty specific to the lumber and building materials industry, so it won't be suitable for usage outside of this industry.

Epicor BisTrack is well-suited for the following scenarios:

Advantages

• The price-quality ratio is excellent, even though Odoo has become very competitive.
• The time to implementation is also great, if not one of the best.
• Excellent billing and service desk apps

It is not the best solution if you are looking into a collaboration-focused software suite.

• Inventory Management
• Pricing and Quoting Features
• Sales and Order Processing
• Business Analytics

Incentivized

• CRM integrates nicely using our Zapier environment.
• The Lead to Contact/Account Conversion is very intuitive.
• Deals, Sales Orders, and Contract Zoho Sign work well together.

• 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

Incentivized

• The integration is loose and needs to be more stable and a true integration
• Development appears to take long periods of time to bring customer enhancements into the next release. I have seen numerous obvious business application needs to be brought to the attention that is still 2-3 years old without an update
• Unified User Interface and back end functionality/configuration across applications

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.

Incentivized

While the software is easy to use and pick up, the different user interfaces and limits across the application make it difficult and slow to implement additional applications quickly and seamlessly across the organization. If the User interface was more consistent we would be able to pick up and train on new apps more efficiently

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.

Incentivized

Support is great as a customer, as a partner I get moved to that team more often and find issues in the support being provided. It also appears that the support agents do not take into account all the information provided and default back to the "step 1 of the playbook" instead of taking into account the business reason the support is being requested and understanding the steps already taken.

5 years ago, we decided to use Odoo. At that time, the enterprise version of Odoo was not competitive enough for a small company with minor integration needs when it comes to the pricing per user. Nowadays, pricing is almost equal. The effort of integration processes with Odoo is still higher even though it delivers more potential. A decision between both today would be more difficult for us.

• Increased overall efficiency in inventory management by 5%
• ROI is positive
• BisTrack provides a way for our business to conduct its day-to-day operations

Incentivized

• It has had an overall negative impact since we migrated from HubSpot due to the overall lack of support.
• Our users are frustrated with the complexity and lack of consistency in the admin portals.
• CRM is the only tool that is ready for business at scale.
