Epicor Manufacturing - Express Edition

Epicor Manufacturing Express Edition is a comprehensive software system for job shops and small manufacturers that is provided in the software as a service (SaaS) model. Express combines broad functionality from Epicor’s latest generation software in an end-to-end solution - providing everything you need to manage your opportunities, orders, and operations in one integrated solution.

Broad Functionality

Express has been developed from Epicor’s latest generation software. It leverages core functionality that has been in use and proven at thousands of customer sites over the past 25 years. Epicor brought together the broad range of functionality small manufacturers require into one system, including:

• Customer Relationship Management
• Product Management
• Production Management
• Material Management
• Financial Management
• Business Intelligence

Process Flexibility

Whether you’re business is a job shop, machine shop, plastics extruder, or other type of manufacturer, however you account, cost and manufacture, Express is flexible enough to support your process. Specific manufacturing modes include...

• Assembly
• Make-to-stock
• Make-to-order
• Engineer-to-order
• Mixed-mode

Whether manufacturing standard products where processes are common and repetitive or custom products where each job is different and requires changes “on the fly”, Express can easily accommodate your unique requirements.

Zero IT Overhead

Software as a service (SaaS) has quickly become a compelling and credible delivery model for business applications. SaaS, also referred to as “On-Demand” or “Cloud Computing,” eliminates many of the barriers that keep companies from implementing or upgrading their software. More importantly, it enables you to focus on your core business operations instead of managing IT. The Express delivery model is designed to help you reduce complexity, get up and running quickly, and decrease ongoing operational costs.

Assured Performance

The performance, availability, and security of the Express system are as good, if not better, than that of a typical on-premise software environment. To ensure system reliability, Epicor has made significant investments that enable us to guarantee 99.5% or greater system availability, including:

• Hosted in a top-tier SAS 70 Type II certified data center
• Global operations team manages the system 24x7x365
• High availability capabilities ensure business continuity
• Best-in-class security
• Secure and redundant data backup

Faster Time-to-Value

As the solution is provided on-demand and pre-configured for manufacturing, the implementation process is simplified. You are able to quickly setup your system and go live in as little as 20 business days. There is no hardware to set up or software to install. The implementation is solely focused on configuring the system to your organization’s specific needs and migrating your business data. We provide templates, pre-built data sets, online training resources, and access to Epicor experts to help you get up and running as fast as possible.

Affordable

Express is provided on a simple subscription basis. There are no large up-front costs—instead there is a minimal setup charge and then an affordable monthly fee for the service. Everything is included within the monthly fee—software, hardware, support, training resources, and on-going system maintenance.
