Overall Satisfaction with Epicor ERP

TJ Hale currently uses Epicor ERP software to handle our supply chain and scheduling/manufacturing of our engineer to order items. We use the software to handle everything from the initial sales order through the manufacturer and the purchase of component items. We finally use the accounting features of the software to provide financial reporting. Everything that can be done through Epicor is currently being done.
  • Customization.
  • Scheduling.
  • Complicated customization.
  • Many of the functions which are used by most companies need to be added by users.
  • Allowed visibility into manufacturing performance.
  • Easy project cost calculations.
We evaluated a couple of different products. Overall I think that Epicor has similar features to the other ERP offerings out there at this level. The thing that I like the best about Epicor is the tools used to modify the software. Just about every aspect of the software is modifiable. The downside of this is that supporting the software requires either knowledgeable programmers or a consultant on call.
Epicor ERP is well suited for most manufacturing companies and the level of customization would make it a good fit for many companies. There is a pretty steep learning curve but most of the processes and data handling can be customized to fit just about every business. The level of sophistication of the software does demand either a company with IT resources or enough capital to outsource these changes.
