Epicor for Distribution (Prophet 21)

Business Analyzer

Epicor Business Analyzer is a business intelligence (BI) solution that summarizes key performance indicators and provides a snapshot of your organization’s health. The application allows you to develop and quickly customize reports for your business, without having to be a report writing expert. Through the familiar Windows interface, you can easily develop the right charts, graphs, and reports to analyze business trends and drill into the details behind the metrics. You can also create alerts that notify you of important events occurring within your business.

DynaChange Extensibility Tools

Epicor provides the flexibility you need to tailor the application’s appearance and logic to your company’s needs. With the DynaChange Extensibility Tools, you can create user-defined fields, move or hide fields from screens, create customized portals for each employee, and even write your own business logic to conform to your company’s unique processes, all without affecting the application source code. DynaChange Extensibility Tools ensure the system adapts to your needs, not the other way around.

eCommerce (Web-Based Storefront)

Epicor makes it easy to service existing and prospective customers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with its Web-based storefront solution for distributors. In addition, a powerful administrative console allows distributors to keep their site fresh and better manage online content. An integrated Web-based storefront makes it possible for you to service customers as near as next door or as far away as the other side of the world, without making the financial investment of opening a branch or hiring more staff. Your customers can also use your secure Web site as their business system to keep track of what they ordered for their individual customers, and download accounting-specific information, including past invoices, into Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets — a value-added service that will make them loyal customers for years to come. Because your Web site and ERP solution work from a single database, you’ll receive online orders directly into your distribution ERP system without intervention from your staff, saving time and avoiding costly re-keying errors. This not only increases sales and improves customer service, but also frees your customer service staff to focus on more profitable tasks, such as developing new customers.

Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)

Epicor streamlines the transaction process by providing a portal for EDI transactions. All transactions are done in real time, meaning you get the most accurate information available.
