Epicor, a global leader of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, will today demonstrate its vision at the company’s annual Insights 2023 user conference for the connected Data Supply Chain, helping Makers, Movers, and Sellers action indispensable insights to strengthen and optimize their own operations, as well as more closely collaborate with trusted partners and industry ecosystems for a dynamic and responsive supply chain.
“To be successful in today’s marketplace, Makers, Movers, and Sellers must make data-driven decisions faster and with greater accuracy. It’s all about the right insights, in the right place, at the right time,” said Epicor Chief Executive Officer, Steve Murphy. “Epicor is delivering the digital foundation to help give our customers an insight advantage, supported by our deep industry expertise, powerful data analytics, and emerging AI capabilities that will help pave the road to a more resilient and predictable global supply chain.”
Business leaders know that operational insight is key to unlocking business value. But getting to those insights – whether it’s within their own enterprise or across their supply chains – is a pervasive challenge. Many contend with managing overwhelming amounts of data, the proliferation of data siloes across their organizations, as well as disconnected processes and lack of data transparency with trading partners and suppliers.
In fact, according to the most recent Epicor Industry Insights Report, nearly 70% of enterprises surveyed said they are looking to their ERP provider as an expert partner and resource to help them navigate a variety of data management and integration needs. In addition, more than 80% of respondents indicated they are interested in exploring and investing in the latest technologies to help them optimize and grow their businesses.
Through the company’s leading Industry ERP Cloud platforms grounded in contextual business intelligence, Epicor is positioned to help organizations across manufacturing, distribution, retail, building supply, and auto environments adopt a data-first strategy that lets them integrate internal and external data sources and interpret signals and indicators both within their business and across supply chains. In doing so, they can gain actionable insights to optimize and automate business flows and drive time-to-value.
