New name, advanced features, enhanced web user interface, same dedication to better serve the manufacturing industry
What’s New: Epicor today released Kinetic, the cloud-based ERP solution built with manufacturers, for manufacturers, as part of its continued commitment to build the best-in-class Industry Cloud. Epicor does not offer a one-size-fits all ERP solution, it designs tailored technology platforms laser focused on the needs of the end-to-end supply chain industries it exclusively serves, the essential businesses who make, deliver and sell goods.
Why It Matters: The new Kinetic platform offers an intuitive, configurable and guided user experience with embedded learnings, artificial intelligence, and built-in social collaboration tools to better utilize real-time data to accelerate customer profits. The new browser-based User Interface (UI) is simpler, more intuitive and can be accessed from any device, saving customers valuable time and offering greater access to critical business data. The new Application Studio tool offers low-no code customization so customers can build complex configurations with visual impact smartly and produce web deployable designs for use in ecommerce sites. Kinetic now allows users to configure applications with layers using a visual designer with rules and events, move elements around with drag and drop functionality, and preview and validate changes before going live.
“Epicor’s new web-based Kinetic ERP system provides an additional layer of flexibility to support our business. Application Studio is an intuitive, low code, drag and drop programming tool that allows us to quickly configure screens to fit on our unique requirements. The new Kinetic platform now gives us the ability to ensure our users have access to the right information anytime, anywhere and from any device.”
––Sean Simmons, President, Tuffaloy
Epicor piloted Kinetic in a controlled release environment with over 100 customers and implemented nearly 500 pieces of customer feedback, proof that this release is made with manufacturers, for manufacturers.
“The move to a browser-based interface allows for ubiquitous access in any device at any time. “Though it has been a significant change - the move to a low code / no code environment; it comes with a big advantage and that is upgradability! No longer do we need to worry whether our screen customization will upgrade from version to version or not. The upgrade process which used to be a multi-month endeavor of testing, fixing and re-testing our UI customizations, is now a mere minutes and we can focus our efforts in testing the actual software, workflow processes and fixing any issues with the back end.”
––Jose Gomez, Sr. Software Engineer, Stephen Gould
Improved Future-Focused Features:
“At Epicor, we understand deeply the industries we serve, which is why the upgrades we have made to Kinetic to modernize and future-proof the platform were architected alongside our customers to better help them scale and thrive. This journey has been many years in the making, and our goal is that the new product name and the enhanced platform convey the ongoing momentum of Epicor, our continued industry focus, and our goal to deliver the defacto Industry Cloud.”
––Himanshu Palsule, Epicor President
