Choosing the right product is essential to optimize business processes and maximize results. Many options are available on the market, and it can be hard for a company to make sense of all the noise out there.  

An Epicor consultant knows the market very well and can evaluate the options to find the best product.

Many companies lack the experience and internal resources to manage an ERP. Managing an ERP is a complex task involving the collaboration of all departments of an organization, and IT teams usually lack the time to manage it on top of their daily tasks.  

An implementation partner has the experience and a team of ERP consultants able to manage an ERP.

If the ERP hasn’t been set up according to the industry standards, it will not work properly and the results won’t be maximized. On one hand, it can be hard for an internal IT team to fix it since it is a very demanding task. 

On the other hand, an Epicor consultant has the expertise and knowledge to remedy previous mistakes and reset the ERP to industry standards to maximize its results.

An Epicor consultant will start by reviewing all business processes and requirements to understand how the business operates and identify areas of improvement. The consultant works closely with internal teams to make sure his understanding of the business is accurate.

After carefully reviewing all processes and needs of the business, the consultant will establish a strategy to set up and configure the ERP system and tailor it to business processes.

When moving from a legacy system, it is important to safely move sensitive data to the new system. Consultants can help extract, clean, and import data to ensure accuracy and consistency in the new ERP.

An Epicor consultant knows how to adjust screens, dashboards, reports, and more to make sure the Epicor ERP is tailored to the organization’s unique workflows.

Even great software isn’t very useful if it is not used correctly. That’s why consultants will make sure to train the users who will use the system to make sure the new system is adopted and used the right way to get the most out of it.

After the go-live (deployment) of Epicor ERP, consultants often stay involved to provide technical support, optimize performance, and help with future development needs.

Consultants work with every department of a business, from IT to the shop floor, and they need to understand all processes and know how to train the people of each department.

Even if they’re not writing code, they should know how integrations, automations, and custom reports are built.

A good ERP consultant will keep the project on track, give a reasonable timeline for the project, and make sure to keep the business updated through every step of the process to deliver the project on time.

A great Epicor expert will have a proven track record and will be able to prove his experience through case studies. A consultant who has delivered results for their clients will be happy to show their work.

An experienced consultant can help you choose the right ERP software, modules, and deployment options.

Implementing an ERP is a complex task that requires experts to be completely successful. Preparing, planning, designing, validating, and deploying an ERP with an Epicor expert will help manufacturers and distributors save time and money with an effective methodology.

If your business is expanding and needs to add new features like customer relationship management (CRM) software, an Epicor consultant can help facilitate the integration with the Epicor ERP to make everything work seamlessly.

Dealing with an ERP is a complex and time-consuming task. Your IT team is already busy with day-to-day operations and may not have the resources to deal with an ERP.
