Even for a very small business like our (we are Epicor consultants/developers/implementers) using Epicor iScala cuts costs on external accounting services and enables instant access to all necessary data with just about 4 hours spent monthly on entering data.
  • Epicor iScala is simple-to-use and robust Microsoft technology based ERP for very wide range of businesses.
  • One of the stronger parts of the solution is using an industry-standard database that is simultaneously secure and open for queries from any BI tool.
  • Interface is simple and modern, easy-to-customize while keeping a stable kernel.
  • I have used and implemented iScala for 25 years, it has come a long way in terms of the current modern interface, but there is a room for both design and usability improvements.
  • Most of report forms are quite obsolete and usually are replaced by custom version during implelentation.
  • Color themes are great, but now we're waiting for theme editor :)
Well suited for middle-size distributor and service provider.

  • It's a fast system to operate.
  • The database is easy to maintain.
  • It's easy to customize views.
  • The stock control could use a history view.
  • The integration to other systems can be improved
  • The ability to work on iPad would be nice
Good for
Making quick and accurate proposals to customers. The system make sure the right discount level is applied and the proposal is easily converted to an order by the handler.

Less good at
Distributing on-the-fly information to sales reps outside the office. Maybe it can be solved by an addon but it's nothing we use today.

  • Longer support of the old Scala versions would bring more confidence for big Scala customers, because in big installations it's been very difficult and time-consuming to make version upgrades every 3-4 years.
In any B2B business, where complex integrations are required
