Improves operational efficiency and data discipline but struggles with localization and complex planning
I see a few areas that can be improved. The localization is not good; for local taxes and statutory compliances, manual work is being done and other packages are being integrated for tax purposes. From the localization perspective, there is quite a good amount of work to be done. In the production planning area, Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations. Analytics are not being used, and the standard reports are not that great, so management reports are being built independently. Technical support from Epicor ERP could be better. The issue with support is in terms of response time as well as quality.

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

"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."
"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 Epicor ERP are ease of use, powerful API, and comprehensive integration. It is a one-vendor solution, where other vendors need other software systems from multiple vendors."
"It has helped control operations in our Storage and Distribution Center, including processes such as Product reception, Inventory, Quality and inspection management, Shipping, General ledger, and Invoicing."
"I have seen companies triple their business using Epicor in just a few years."
"There's good flexibility within the inbuilt tools such as alerts, business process management, dashboards, and screen customization."
"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."
"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."
"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

"Epicor didn't care about user level and software applications. So, it's not so user-friendly for nontechnical people."
"There are some glitches in Epicor ERP."
"AI and additional improvements could be made."
"A number of bugs in 9.05 were only fixed in 10."
"In the newer version of Epicor ERP, it's very difficult to find out that tracing."
"The tool should provide a better user interface."
"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."
"Epicor ERP cannot handle complex planning situations, which for this organization became very complex, requiring a lot of customizations."
"There is a tool in Infor VISUAL that is called Costing Utilities, they should make the functionality more flexible."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"User support could be improved as well, as the consultant charges are very high."
"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."
