Automation reduces manual processes and enhances operational efficiency
Almost all the features are useful, from procurement to manufacturing, as they are interconnected and useful. The procurement process stands out particularly. We have been able to implement customizations to meet our approval processes, making it easier to get PO approvals and requests approved. Having multiple people approve before a PO is completed is streamlined, and the system is easy to customize and modify. The system has reduced many manual processes, and we have automated several processes in Epicor ERP, allowing bots to run some processes without manual intervention. The system has enhanced accuracy, especially when the base data is correct and automation can read the data properly. The accuracy is above 90%, and when errors occur, automation informs users quickly before posting items to the GL. Epicor ERP has harmonized our processes and provides significant visibility in reporting. The internal reports of Epicor ERP have been instrumental in strategic planning.

Powerful accounting functionality, easy to implement, and same day support response
There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible. In a future release, if they could add a CRM incorporated into the core of the solution that would be awesome. Additionally, a more flexible project model. They have a project model, but it's very challenging to set up values.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Dashboards and Business Activity Query are very useful."
"The solution is great for production planning because everything is out of the box. It smoothly handles the process from engineering to ERP, including version management and subcontracting. These features aren't in NetSuite."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making, but not as fast as we want due to internal processes."
"For the past two years, my focus has been fully on Epicor ERP, and there are many new features which we did not deploy in our platform."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"The positive impacts I see from Epicor ERP include operational efficiency and productivity improvement; these are the two major things, and the major benefit is the data discipline and the usage of data in a meaningful way."
"Easy to use Great functionality Everyone can track all the KPIs online"
"I find the job management features of Epicor ERP most useful, especially for material planning. The ERP gives a perfect overview of many aspects. The scheduling is also helpful. It lets us see what we're planning and try different scenarios. For real-time analytics, I use it mostly for planning and "what if" scenarios."
"The most valuable features of Infor VISUAL are its powerful accounting, multicurrency functionality, and production aspects. We implement the manufacturing for many customers. These are the main goals of the solution."
 

Cons

"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"The inventory module needs to be improved as it is not that easy to use."
"There's a new version of the solution that has some bugginess. They're cleaning that up. The user interface is an area that needs improvement and they're improving."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"The UI is quite logical, but it needs time to train users because some functions are complex to understand. As for cons, some calculation logic is difficult to grasp and requires time to test and try out. Creating dashboards or reports needs some technical IT knowledge."
"Yes, we would get crashes relatively often."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The initial cost may be a bit high, but the maintenance cost is lower."
"When comparing Epicor ERP to the other related products, the pricing, additional enhancements, as well as implementation, are better."
"We bought an on-premise version of the solution. The cloud version is different. I've looked into it, but it's very competitive on the low end of the market."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"Pricing isn't a big problem for the solution - I haven't seen them lose deals because of it."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
