Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Epicor ERP and Epicor Kinetic?

Epicor Kinetic is the rebranded and updated version of Epicor ERP, launched to modernize the platform with a more user-friendly, cloud-focused approach. While both Epicor ERP and Epicor Kinetic serve as enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions designed to support manufacturing and distribution industries, there are some key differences:

• User Experience and Interface:
  Epicor Kinetic introduces a redesigned, more intuitive user interface (UI) compared to the earlier Epicor ERP versions. The Kinetic UI emphasizes ease of use, with guided navigation, customizable dashboards, and a modernized, responsive design that enhances productivity and reduces learning curves.
  
  
• Cloud-first architecture:
  While Epicor ERP offered cloud deployment options, Epicor Kinetic is built with a cloud-first approach to streamline operations for companies aiming to leverage cloud benefits like remote access, automatic updates, and scalability. Kinetic’s architecture is optimized for cloud use, although it still supports on-premise and hybrid deployment models for flexibility.
  
  
• Enhanced embedded learning tools:
  Epicor Kinetic includes more extensive, embedded learning and training tools designed to support user onboarding and continuous learning directly within the application. These embedded resources help users quickly adapt to the software and make the most of its features.
  
  
• Advanced capabilities for digital transformation:
  Kinetic offers new and updated modules to support digital transformation in manufacturing, such as Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS), enhanced Customer Relationship Management (CRM), and improved analytics and reporting capabilities. These features cater to modern business needs by providing real-time data and enhanced automation options.
  
  
• Future-ready development:
  Epicor Kinetic represents Epicor’s move toward a future-ready ERP platform, aiming to support industry trends like IoT integration, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.
