Epicor Delivers People-Centric, Open, and Connected Updates Across Latest Release of Epicor Industry ERP Cloud Portfolio

Epicor, a global leader of industry-specific enterprise software designed to promote business growth, today introduced a variety of new features across the latest release of the Epicor Industry ERP Cloud portfolio, including updates for Epicor Kinetic for manufacturing, Epicor Prophet 21 for distribution, and Epicor BisTrack for building supply.

The new updates seek to deliver on the company’s continued commitment to build people-centric, open, and connected industry productivity solutions that help the essential businesses that make, move, and sell the things everyone needs succeed in today’s complex market.

“We are on a journey with our customers to help them take advantage of the agility, integration, and security that cloud delivers,” said Steve Murphy, Epicor CEO. “The new capabilities across our latest release of the Epicor Industry ERP Cloud portfolio empower our customers with the deep, industry-specific capabilities, integrations, and business process automations they require to grow their businesses and boost profitability.”

As companies 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 percent of business leaders surveyed stated the cloud is critical to future-proofing their business, and 82 percent said Covid-19 had accelerated their cloud migration plans.

The latest updates across the Epicor Industry ERP Cloud portfolio are built to deliver a variety of integration, automation, and performance capabilities that help customers stay ahead of these challenges and maximize the power of their data.

This includes the introduction of Epicor Automation Studio, a low code integration and synchronization tool embedded natively in Epicor Kinetic and Epicor Prophet 21 that empowers users to connect their data and automate workflows both within their Epicor solutions as well as with more than 1,000 applications and databases.
