Do You Know What the New Tariffs Are Doing to Your Margins Right Now?
Your ERP Cannot Tell You What a 25% Tariff Does to Job #4872
The US-Canada trade situation is moving fast. Tariffs on steel, aluminum, and hundreds of manufactured components are changing the cost structure of every job in your shop. If your ERP cannot show you the landed cost impact of those tariffs in real time, you are flying blind.
Most manufacturers are discovering the problem at invoicing time — when it is too late to reprice the job, renegotiate with the customer, or find an alternative supplier. Epicor Kinetic gives you the cost visibility to act before the margin is gone.

| Customer asks for a revised quote | ✓ Updated landed cost in minutes | ✗ Manual calculation, hours of work |
| Evaluating a domestic vs. US supplier | ✓ Side-by-side landed cost comparison | ✗ Spreadsheet exercise, incomplete data |
| CAD/USD exchange rate moves against you | ✓ Live multi-currency recalculation | ✗ Static rates baked into old quotes |
| Board asks for tariff exposure report | ✓ Dashboard ready in seconds | ✗ Days of manual data gathering |

“When the first round of tariffs hit, we were able to pull a full exposure report within the hour and bring it to our board meeting that afternoon. Without Epicor Kinetic, we would have been guessing for weeks.”
