Epicor Manufacturing Express Edition

Broad Industry-Specific FunctionalityExpress has been developed from the Epicor ERP core functionality that has been in use and proven at thousands of manufacturers over the past 40 years. Within Express, we’ve brought together the broad range of functionality small manufacturers require into a single end-to-end solution. You can expect everything in one system to manage:

• Customers and contacts

• Opportunities and orders

• Products and production

• Accounting and payroll

Further, since Express is based on the same software as our editions for mid-sized and enterprise customers, you are ensured that it is capable of meeting your needs as you grow.

Business FlexibilityWhether your business is a job shop, machine shop, stamper, or other type of manufacturer, however you account, cost, or produce, Express is flexible enough to support your business process, including:

• 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.

End-to-End Business VisibilityExpress provides you with everything you need to manage your business in one system. It eliminates the need for separate applications, spreadsheets and “work arounds” to turn data into information. Since Express is developed on a common relational database, data is shared across applications. New data and changes are propagated through the system immediately—providing up-to-date customer, operational, and financial visibility across the organization at all times.

Software as a ServiceSoftware as a service (SaaS) has 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.

Minimize IT ComplexityAs Express is available to you on-demand, as a service, there’s no hardware or software to install or maintain—Epicor handles all that for you. All you need is a workstation with an Internet connection and users have access to the system. Ongoing software updates and system maintenance are provided and managed by Epicor so there’s zero IT overhead.

Performance and ReliabilityThe 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:

• System hosted from a top tier SOC2 Type II (SAS 70 Type II) certified data center

• A global operations team that monitors and manages the system 24x7x365

• Best-in-class security and high availability capabilities to ensure business continuity

• Advanced data backup technology and storage in multiple geographic locations

Faster Time-to-ValueAs the solution is provided on-demand and pre-configured for manufacturing, the implementation process is simplified. 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 ERP On-DemandExpress 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 ongoing system maintenance.

Solutions Based On ExperienceFor more than two decades, Epicor has provided software to manufacturers of all sizes. Today, thousands of job shops and small manufacturers use our solutions to effectively manage their businesses. And while Express is based on the latest technology, it’s our more than 40 years of experience with organizations like yours that is the foundation of the solution. Experience matters when it comes to delivering a product or service that meets the needs of an industry and the right software solution can help you transform your business and operations. Express is such a solution—providing broad functionality specific to the needs of manufacturers, priced affordably, and delivered in a manner that minimizes complexity.
