Flexible and Modern System Architecture Solves the Automotive Challenge  

The pool of automotive suppliers continues to shrink as only those with the most flexible IT infrastructures can adapt to the increasing demands of their automotive customers. The inspired answer is Epicor for Automotive, our enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution built from the ground up using a 100% service-oriented architecture (SOA) using a 100% Microsoft® technology stack. Other ERP systems install an “XML wrapper” around their systems and call themselves “SOA,” but that adds another layer of abstraction, complicating setup and slowing down transactions. Every business object in Epicor for Automotive is available as a collection of services, to be made easily accessible by your trading partners’ systems without a complicated application programming interface (API).

Electronics and High Tech at Business Speed  

The electronics and high tech industry has never needed to move faster than today. With finished products typically having a life-cycle of six months or less, and competition coming from around the globe you need to optimize your planning, production, purchase, sale and after-sales processes to be leaner and more agile than your competitors. But it’s not enough to be faster, you also need to be first to market to maximize profit.  

Epicor understands that you want to focus on your products and need a business software partner that supports all aspects of your enterprise, wherever you are in the supply chain. We know that you may be a subcontractor to another vendor one week, yet sell finished goods the next and OEM technology or products in the future. We understand the global nature of the electronics and high tech business, with short end-product shelf-lives combined with after-sales support driving your whole market. If you want to excel and move at the speed of business you need Epicor for Electronics and High Tech. 

Supporting Key Initiatives for the Fabricated Metals Industry  

Fabricated Metals manufacturers facing increased global pressure are stressed to find new efficiencies. Price sensitivity, volatile raw material cost, shorter product lifecycles, and adoption of quality and value-added services continue to erode already thin margins. In response, many manufacturers are expanding their traditional business and looking for new opportunities—some in new and unknown markets and others centered in business performance. Lean initiatives are driving many manufacturers to reengineer business processes from the plant floor to the top floor to the extended supply chain. These same businesses are enjoying business-wide costs savings, reduction in raw material and work in process, improved throughput, better utilization of existing resources, and improved customer satisfaction. Epicor understands the demands placed on manufacturers today.
