Manufacturers, such as Dalsin Industries, use Epicor ERP for their precise industry needs
Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, today announced it will be showcasing its Epicor ERP solution at IMTS 2018 to help manufacturers leverage a multidimensional enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to boost their growth strategies. The company will be in booth 133324, on level 3 of the East Building at the McCormick Center during the September 10-15, 2018 event.
Recent research from Epicor, which explored the influences and impacts of business growth according to 2,450 business decision makers around the globe, has shown a telling discrepancy between the businesses that invest in technology, and those that don’t[1]. Of those that reported strong business growth in the last 12 months, 57 percent prioritized IT investment, suggesting technology has played a key role in their success. Among companies with weak growth just a fifth had prioritized IT investment.
Dalsin Industries, a contract sheet metal manufacturer from Bloomington, Minnesota, is one customer that prioritized IT investment to grow.
“With 36 percent of all businesses agreeing that investing in IT is a high priority, there’s no doubt IT is an area that can help your business grow,” said Scott Hays, senior vice president, product marketing, Epicor Software Corporation. “Customers like Dalsin Industries understand the impact of a powerful ERP product, but also that achieving growth isn’t as simple as installing new software. Epicor closes the gap between understanding the benefits of an ERP strategy and success by offering an ERP solution that is architected to solve manufacturers’ unique business problems and help them get fit for growth.”
However, for any new ERP implementation to be successful, the platform needs to be flexible. It must connect the top floor to the shop floor, be scalable, and most importantly, it must allow for change. This is why Epicor will also be showcasing other offerings that, when combined with Epicor ERP, gives manufacturers a complete set of tools to understand how to repeat or avoid certain production outcomes, help them sell more via eCommerce, and gain a deeper understanding of their operations.
“At Epicor, we talk about the importance of fit, ease, and growth. The question businesses must ask of ERP vendors is if their solutions fit into the ecosystem, process flow, and industry sector? Epicor delivers out-of-the-box industry-specific functionality, complemented by APIs to easily integrate with other apps in the customer’s ecosystem. To keep up with the pace of innovation in this day and age ERP systems need to be easy to purchase, deploy, configure, learn, use, and upgrade to support business growth,” Hays added.
