Improved quality and supply chain management has boosted stock control
We mainly use Epicor ERP for stock control The most significant features of Epicor ERP for our business process are quality control and supply chain management. AI and additional improvements could be made. I have been using Epicor ERP for more than seven months. The deployment was done…

Allows customization for production and has good sales, distribution, and quality management features
Previously, we were using a very small ERP called Visual Udyog. Visual Udyog is a very cheap solution. For a startup company, it's useful. It's not an elaborate ERP, but it gives at least 25% of what IQMS gives. It can give 25% or even close to 50% of what IQMS can give and at 10% of the cost. Initially, for the first five years of the company, where it has only one million turnover or two million turnover, it is enough. Once you want to scale up, you have to go to SAP or IQMS. I also worked with SAP. I would say that IQMS and SAP go hand-in-hand.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Epicor ERP paid for itself in the first year and a half, and continued to make the company lean and more profitable by providing tools to manage business operations better, such as production scheduling, finance, and estimating products."
"Real-time results make for faster decision making."
"Epicor ERP is very technical friendly, if you want to do any customization, it's very easy."
"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."
"With Epicor, we can call a pitch between Epicor and the PLM database, which is a significant advantage."
"Epicor ERP is an easy-to-use solution."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"This solution has all of the features you need: sales, distribution, supply chain. It has logistics and production management capabilities. It has so many modules, which were integrated using our expertise."
 

Cons

"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The main challenge with implementing Epicor ERP is finding the right partners, especially in Europe."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"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."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"Setup is very complex."
 

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."
"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."
"Epicor ERP is an expensive solution."
"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."
"We paid about 20% with the purchase order. Six months later, we paid another 20%, and then another 20% after another six months. We paid the remaining 40% after 18 months."
