Likelihood to Recommend	Epicor Software CMS is well suited for automotive manufacturing businesses. Incentivized Michael O'Riley Director of Information Technology at Humphrey Companies, LLC. Read full review	Expandable Software Expandable fits our companies needs quite well to manage inventory, sales orders, and purchasing. We recently started to also use Expandable to track ECN changes. The ECN functionality is a little limited in the fact it is difficult to add descriptions or parts affected after it has been implemented. I would recommend having an additional program for managing ECN history Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Epicor Software EDI Order Processing Serialized Inventory Tracking Order Processing Incentivized Michael O'Riley Director of Information Technology at Humphrey Companies, LLC. Read full review	Expandable Software Great way for everyone on the team to see the same information - sales orders, inventory, purchase orders etc The support team is always very responsive!! Very customizable to create links between screens Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Epicor Software Visual interface Report Customization Incentivized Michael O'Riley Director of Information Technology at Humphrey Companies, LLC. Read full review	Expandable Software Data entry on certain tasks can be very tedious (for example effected parts on an ECN) Sometimes data connections for upload are very slow or just flat out fail multiple times. The problem is intermittent so difficult for support to track and fix Certain fields cannot be pulled on a report and require engineering time to create a process to add functionality. It would be nice to have unfiltered access to all fields Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
