Epicor is a manufacturing and distribution ERP company — providing industry-specific ERP for automotive, aerospace, building products, distribution, and manufacturing businesses that require deeper operational functionality than generic ERP platforms provide. Epicor Kinetic is the flagship cloud ERP — a manufacturing-focused platform providing production management, shop floor control, material planning (MRP/MPS), quality management, and supply chain alongside financials and CRM. Epicor AI applies ML to manufacturing operations — predictive maintenance scheduling from machine performance patterns, AI-driven demand forecasting improving production planning accuracy, intelligent inventory management optimising safety stock levels, and AI-powered quality management identifying process parameters associated with quality deviations. Epicor Grow is the company's AI vision — building conversational AI interaction into ERP, natural language reporting queries, and AI process guidance for operators. Prophet 21 is Epicor's distribution-specific ERP — covering purchasing, inventory, sales, and warehouse management for wholesale distributors. Epicor industry solutions provide deep functionality for building materials, automotive aftermarket, and industrial distribution verticals that generic ERP cannot match. With customers including manufacturers and distributors across North America and Europe, Epicor validates for mid-market industrial businesses requiring vertical-specific manufacturing ERP.
Epicor AI runs as ml platform software built around data and text workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web, ios, and android.
