As manufacturers contend with an array of challenges including operational efficiency, supply chain disruption, workforce complexities, and changing customer expectations for digital connectedness, the need for flexible, insights-driven industry productivity solutions has never been greater. In fact, according to the latest Epicor Industry Insights Report 2021, 94 per cent of business leaders surveyed stated the cloud is critical to future-proofing their business, and 82 per cent said COVID-19 had accelerated their cloud migration plans.
The latest release of Epicor Kinetic addresses these challenges head-on, and is built to deliver a variety of capabilities that bring the back-office into the hands of front-line business users – including expanded cloud options for large manufacturers, new features to improve insight and productivity, and an enhanced user experience, Epicor said in a press release.
Currently, Epicor Kinetic is offering a new Epicor Cloud Enterprise Services package for large manufacturers that contend with uniquely complex bills of materials (BOMs) and Material Resource Planning (MRP) requirements. With the new services package, large manufacturers will gain greater control and flexibility to manage multiple plants and facilities worldwide on a scalable and secure cloud platform. The solution will also deliver state-of-the-art computing power, customisable cloud infrastructure, and access to premium support expertise to accelerate sophisticated global manufacturing processes.
An array of newly integrated, industry-focused modules and upgrades are available in the latest release, delivering greater digital capability for quoting, estimating, and e-commerce. With a variety of user experience upgrades across the platform, the latest release will provide a more personalised experience to improve engagement and productivity. From customisations to enhanced low/no-code configurations within the Epicor Application Studio tool, every upgrade can be adopted at a customer’s own pace to minimize business disruption. This upgrade is complemented with more than 56 new hands-on trainings that are seamlessly integrated into the platform, the release added.
“Staying resilient and competitive in a global marketplace are top of mind for manufacturers, especially in the past 18 months due to disruptions and changes brought by COVID-19,” said Himanshu Palsule, Epicor president and CTO. “Our latest release of Epicor Kinetic is laser-focused on ensuring our manufacturing customers stay agile, productive, and more profitable. And with expanded cloud capabilities, we’re helping customers pave a path to modernise technology infrastructure, reduce risk, and gain greater insights into their operations.”
