Epicor Kinetic

Epicor Kinetic (formerly Epicor ERP) Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a full suite of enterprise application capabilities — including purchase management, sourcing and procurement, inventory management, advanced material management, shipping and receiving, and warehouse management — and is complemented by forecasting, order management, analytics capabilities, and preventative maintenance capabilities – for improved manufacturing operations.

Combined, you have the manufacturing ERP software you need to meet customer demands in today’s increasingly global marketplace.

Handheld Module

Whether doing physical inventory or material moves or looking up serialized part information, the Epicor Kinetic Handheld application offers an easy-to-use interface that is designed for plant and distribution employees.

The Epicor Handheld module allows you to track your inventory as it moves throughout your enterprise with real-time data capture to improve inventory management accuracy and speed up the order-to-ship cycle.

Providing your users with event-based directing and routing of all managed tasks in real-time, the Handheld module not only helps you maintain complete transaction event history for analysis and reporting purposes, but when coupled with Advanced Material Management, it also provides detailed tracking of material requirements and WIP information through mobile access to the material and pick orders queue.

Inventory Management Module

Inventory Management provides the key functions necessary to update and maintain raw materials, work in process (WIP), finished goods inventory quantities, costs, and on-hand requirements. Issued inventory reduces quantities on hand, which are continually replenished through the processing of purchased or manufactured item receipts into inventory.

Receipt processing provides a continual update of inventory average, FIFO, lot, or last costs for every item. A variety of screen inquiries provide inventory management, analysis of Materials Requirements Planning (MRP), shortage monitoring, reorder analysis, stock status, valuation, and critical items.

Manifesting and Freight Management Module

Today’s customers have many different shipping options. Epicor Manifest, a multicarrier shipping software for Epicor Kinetic, streamlines domestic and international shipping processes to help you meet your customers’ demands.

From rate shopping at order entry to manifesting your domestic or international shipments, Epicor Manifest communicates with various carriers and provides information about that shipment back to Epicor Kinetic.

As part of the shipping function, Epicor ERP Manifest prints labels, bills of ladings, and export documents to be included with your shipment.

Purchase Management Module

Purchase Management handles writing purchase orders and tracking supplier performance to optimize results and improve negotiations and overall manufacturing operations. Multiple detailed line items indicate planned receipts to inventory or a job, direct receipts to a sales order, or direct receipts to a manufacturing job, although their destination may be changed at the time of actual receipt entry.

Purchase order receipt processing updates suggested supplier and detailed purchase order history files, which provide continual reference to aid in making purchasing decisions.

With Purchase Management, you can reduce inventory levels, improve on-time deliveries, maximize momentum, enhance your cash flow, and increase your profit levels.

Shipping & Receiving Module

The Shipping and Receiving module within Epicor enterprise resource planning software is designed to promote increased efficiency and accuracy by allowing you to perform and track all activity relating to shipments and receipts.

This flexible module gives you the ability to auto-invoice in Accounts Receivable following customer shipment; print customizable bill of lading forms to your shipments; track container shipments and update the status and due dates of all purchase orders; track customer shipments; track landed costs against applicable parts, which reflects the true costs of materials, parts, or finished goods, and more.

Sourcing Module

Strategic sourcing is the most important, value-added activity that procurement professionals perform for their company. Doing it well requires a wide range of skills and subject matter expertise.

Sourcing by​“old school” methods requires an inordinate amount of time gathering and comparing offerings from multiple suppliers. Automating those tasks with Epicor Sourcing not only allows the purchasing professional to focus more time and energy on strategic activities but it also provides for online collaboration and fosters competition that amplifies the value of their work.

Electronic sourcing solutions give companies the tools they need to negotiate optimal agreements with their suppliers and to provide the best value to the organization. Left to manual methods, organizations can only afford to manage competitive bidding processes for a very small number of contracts.

Supplier Relationship Management Module

Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) provides tools for buyers, procurement staff, and purchasing agents, or those providing quotes on-premise, to request quotes for raw materials or subcontract services from one or multiple suppliers.

Request for quotations (RFQs) are generated with one or more lines, each line having the ability to request pricing from one or more suppliers.

Warehouse Management Module

The Epicor Warehouse Management System (WMS) leverages Epicor ERP, mobile ID data collection, and wireless communications to seamlessly link your warehouse with your order processing and manufacturing operations — optimizing your pick, pack, ship, and receiving processes.
