Modern Manufacturing ERP Implemented Without the Guesswork
Implement or modernize Epicor Kinetic (formerly Epicor ERP/E10) with fit‑to‑standard design, upgrade‑safe extensions, resilient integrations, and sprint‑level metrics. From on‑prem E10 → Kinetic Cloud to multi‑site rollouts, we de‑risk every step and ship measurable outcomes.
What We Do
On‑Prem → Kinetic Cloud Migrations
- Readiness
- Approach: Re‑implementation (greenfield), selective transition, or technical upgrade where feasible
- Data Migration: DMT (Data Management Tool) planning, profiling/cleansing, rehearsal loads, cutover & rollback plans
New Implementations
- Fit‑to‑standard process design for Finance, Procure‑to‑Pay, Order‑to‑Cash, Inventory/WMS, Production/MRP/APS, Quality/QMS, Service
- Multi‑company/site, FX, cost methods (standard/avg/lot), approvals & workflows
Extensions
- Application Studio personalization (layers), UI policies, dashboards
- BPM/Method Directives, UD fields/tables, Updatable BAQs with automated tests
- Report/label layouts, barcoding, scanners, mobile
Integrations & iPaaS
- REST/OData APIs, Webhooks; legacy Service Connect where necessary
- Front office: Salesforce/HubSpot
- Commerce: Shopify/BigCommerce/Adobe Commerce, marketplace feeds
- Ops: WMS/3PL/EDI (SPS/TrueCommerce), MES/PLM/CAD, TMS, label/scan systems
- iPaaS: Boomi, MuleSoft, Workato, Celigo; event/queue patterns for resiliency
Planning, Scheduling & Shop‑Floor
- MRP/MPS configuration, finite scheduling/APS; dispatch boards and priority rules
- MES/Advanced MES instrumentation, labor/clocking, downtime & scrap capture
Quality, Traceability & Compliance
- Non‑conformance/Corrective Action (NCMR/CAR), inspection plans, PPAP templates
- Lot/serial genealogy, audit trails, SoD‑aware roles, environment segregation
Reporting, Analytics & Data
- BAQs & dashboards, operational KPIs, EDD‑style visuals; feeds to Power BI/Looker/Tableau
- Close acceleration and reconciliations; DWH/lake integrations
AMS & Continuous Improvement
- Post‑go‑live hypercare, enhancement backlog, regression packs for releases, performance tuning
Where Epicor Kinetic Fits Best
- Discrete Manufacturers needing deep MRP/APS, production control, quality, WMS, EDI
- Make‑to‑Order / Engineer‑to‑Order shops and multi‑site operations with serialization/lot control
- Modernization Tracks: E9/E10 on‑prem → Kinetic Cloud; version upgrades and UI replatforming
- Two‑Tier ERP: HQ on SAP/Oracle; plants/regions on Epicor with real‑time consolidation
Outcomes We Deliver
Faster Time‑to‑Value
Iterative delivery, CRP/UAT cadence, production‑ready increments
Clean, Upgradable Core
Configuration first; extensions via Application Studio, BPM/Method Directives, and Updatable BAQs
Reliable Operations
REST/OData integrations, monitored jobs, tested cutovers, defined SLAs
Actionable Decisions
Dashboards, BAQs, and data feeds to your BI/warehouse
Lower Risk & Cost
Data‑quality gates, change windows, and release readiness every cycle
Our Method
Discover
Goals, KPIs, sites, compliance, global template boundaries
Fit‑to‑Standard
Workshops, gaps, extension strategy (Studio/BPM vs in‑core)
Build & Integrate
Config, data objects (DMT), REST/iPaaS, test automation, security
Validate
CRPs, UAT, performance, cutover & fallback rehearsals
Go‑Live & Stabilize
Hypercare SLAs, incident triage, release cadence
Improve
Analytics, automation, throughput/cost improvements
Two‑Tier ERP
Run Epicor Kinetic at plants/regions while HQ remains on SAP/Oracle. We manage MDM, intercompany, eliminations, and near‑real‑time consolidation—without bloating the HQ core.
Integration Patterns
- Front Office: Salesforce/HubSpot → Epicor
- Commerce: Shopify/BigCommerce/Adobe → Epicor
- Operations: WMS/TMS/3PL, MES/PLM/CAD, EDI (850/810/856), labeling/scanning
- Operations: WMS/TMS/3PL, MES/PLM/CAD, EDI (850/810/856), labeling/scanning Finance: Banks, payments, tax engines (Vertex/Avalara), e‑invoicing/PEPPOL
- Data: DWH/lake feeds; BI dashboards; alerts into Teams/Slack
Accelerators & IP
- Manufacturing Starter
- Distribution Starter
- Order‑to‑Cash / Procure‑to‑Pay Regression Packs for releases
- Integration Blueprints (REST/iPaaS) with monitoring/alerts
- Data & Mapping Packs
- Training Kits
Mini Case Snapshots
- Industrial Manufacturer: E10 → Kinetic Cloud; schedule adherence ↑; scrap ↓; MRP runs faster
- High‑Mix/Low‑Volume Shop: APS tuning + MES; throughput ↑; WIP aging ↓; fewer expedite fees
- OEM with 3PL: Epicor ↔ 3PL/EDI; pick accuracy ↑; stockouts ↓; close time −30%
Roles We Provide
- Functional: Finance/Costing, Procurement, Inventory/WMS, Planning/MRP/APS, Production, Quality/QMS, Service
- Technical: Kinetic Application Studio, BPM/BAQ engineers, REST/OData integration architects, report/label devs, security/GRC
- Data & QA: DMT migration/MDM leads, automated testing, performance engineering
- Governance: Solution/enterprise architects, release & cutover leads
Light Pricing Guidance
Timeline and cost vary by modules, sites, data quality, and integrations. We price transparently—pilot first, then scale with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Which Epicor flavor do you support—Kinetic only, or legacy E9/E10 too?
We implement Kinetic and modernize E9/E10 estates, planning DMT loads, extension refactors, and a clean upgrade path.
How do you keep the core upgradable?
Fit‑to‑standard first; extend with Application Studio, BPM/Method Directives, BAQs, and REST/iPaaS; avoid invasive in‑core changes.
Do you migrate to Kinetic Cloud?
Yes—assessment, data cleansing, rehearsal loads (DMT), and controlled cutover with a rollback plan.
Can you integrate Epicor with
Salesforce/Shopify/WMS/3PL/EDI?
Yes—REST/OData and iPaaS patterns (Boomi/MuleSoft/Workato/Celigo) plus EDI networks (SPS/TrueCommerce).
Do you offer post‑go‑live admin?
Yes—hypercare, AMS, and continuous improvement with SLAs.
