What is Epicor 10
Epicor 10 is an enterprise resource planning system, implemented to help improve business processes, enable flexibility, increase agility and drive growth within your business. An ERP allows a business (such as those in the manufacturing, distribution, retail, and service sectors) to highly customise their systems with ease to accommodate business processes, without touching the codebase.
What is Epicor Kinetic?
Epicor Kinetic is a cloud-based ERP upgrade of Epicor 10. Its new and improved features are designed to help businesses maximise the performance of their software.
Additional features of Epicor Kinetic:
Improved user experience
The homepage of Epicor Kinetic has been streamlined and is reported to be increasingly intuitive. Data and processes have improved clarity making it easier to identify and solve bottle necks, improving profitability.
Automation Studio
The Automation Studio enables organisations to integrate their other Epicor products and automate workflows across apps, data, and teams. Without having the Automation Studio, it makes accessing data harder for employees as they will need to search across many different apps, manually input data and constantly switch across different platforms to review performances. Not being able to collect the data you need to find improvements in your systems will allow competitors to get ahead.
Web-based interface
Having a web-based user interface allows you to connect remotely to Epicor. This means you can access the software wherever you are and whenever you like.
Why are companies choosing not to upgrade to Kinetic?
Epicor Kinetic has been around for just over a year at this point and our Epicor Recruitment Specialists are finding that several of our clients are still operating previous versions. This calls to question, is there a reluctancy to upgrade to Epicor Kinetic? and if so, why?

With any investment, it is about weighing up what value an upgrade can add and whether the upgrade is necessary for your business environment.
Impact of not Upgrading
Not upgrading to the recent Kinetic version can mean that you may be in danger of Epicor 10 software not fitting your current business developments. This means your business can potentially be missing out on an opportunity to have a faster and more efficient ERP.
Upgrading your Epicor ERP provides you with a solid system that enhances your current business model, allowing your business to remain competitive in the market. Due to growth in the business, not having the essential tools and features that Epicor Kinetic can provide may also limit your ability to track new organisational processes.
