Introduction: The Epicor ERP Journey—More Than Just Software
Implementing Epicor ERP is not just a software rollout—it’s a transformation of how your business operates, collaborates, and competes. But that transformation doesn’t happen with software alone. It takes the right guidance, the right training, and the right ongoing support.
That’s where Epicforce Tech makes the difference.
Whether you’re just getting started with Epicor ERP, facing challenges in user adoption, or planning a major upgrade, Epicforce Tech ensures you’re never alone. We don’t just hand over documentation—we walk every step of the journey with you, enabling your team to get real business value from Epicor.
In this blog, we’ll walk through how Epicforce Tech supports you from the initial training phase all the way to long-term optimization—turning your ERP investment into real transformation.
Step 1: Laying the Groundwork with Strategic Training
Epicor ERP is powerful, but only if your team knows how to use it.
At Epicforce Tech, we start with strategic training—a phase often overlooked or treated as generic. Our ERP consultants conduct a detailed needs assessment to understand:
- Your business processes
- Your users’ technical comfort levels
- Your departmental priorities
With that context, we build role-specific training programs tailored to how your team actually works. For instance:
- Finance teams learn how to automate reconciliations and manage chart of accounts
- Supply chain users gain skills in inventory control, demand forecasting, and MRP
- Production staff are trained on scheduling, BOMs, and real-time shop floor visibility
This training ensures your users don’t just learn Epicor—they master the parts that matter most to their role.
Step 2: Building Confidence with Hands-On Epicor ERP Learning
Epicforce Tech believes the best learning comes from doing—not from watching. That’s why we offer hands-on, scenario-based training during your implementation.
We simulate real business activities in a sandbox environment so users can safely:
- Create test transactions
- Navigate dashboards and modules
- Practice workflows
- Troubleshoot mock issues
This approach does more than transfer knowledge—it builds confidence and self-reliance. Your team is ready to use Epicor ERP from Day 1, not just read about it.
We also deliver on-demand documentation, role-based cheat sheets, and ongoing access to our trainers, ensuring help is never far away.
Step 3: Adapting ERP to Fit You—Not the Other Way Around
Too many companies struggle because they try to change their business to fit the software. At Epicforce Tech, we flip that equation.
Our Epicor consultants specialize in customizing Epicor ERP to fit your existing processes, without overcomplicating your system. Whether you need:
- Custom dashboards with actionable KPIs
- Tailored workflows that reflect real approval chains
- Business Process Management (BPM) automation to eliminate errors
- Custom reports that speak your finance team’s language
We ensure Epicor works for your business—not against it.
This phase is tightly connected to training. As we develop customizations, we update your training materials and re-train users, so adoption is smooth and confusion-free.
Step 4: Supporting Upgrades Without Disrupting Daily Operations
Version upgrades are inevitable. But they don’t have to be painful.
Epicforce Tech provides pre-upgrade audits, compatibility checks, and change management support. We help you:
- Identify what customizations or integrations need refactoring
- Evaluate impact to current reports and processes
- Re-train users on UI or workflow changes
Our structured approach reduces downtime, safeguards data integrity, and ensures your team is ready before any change goes live.
We also document all updates and changes in your internal knowledge base to keep institutional memory intact—even when staff turnover occurs.
Step 5: Real-Time Reporting That Actually Drives Decisions
Epicor’s reporting capabilities are powerful, but out-of-the-box reports often fall short of what decision-makers need.
That’s why Epicforce Tech works with you to build custom cross-module reports, data visualizations, and KPI dashboards that are:
- Real-time
- Cleanly formatted
- Accessible on desktop and mobile
- Filterable by user role or department
We also train your internal teams to build and modify dashboards over time—so you’re not dependent on external support every time a reporting need changes.
This empowers your leaders to make faster, data-driven decisions without waiting on IT or consultants.
Step 6: Ongoing Optimization and User Enablement
Your ERP system should evolve as your business does. Epicforce Tech doesn’t disappear after go-live—we offer continuous support for:
- Process improvement workshops
- Feature adoption tracking
- New hire training and onboarding
- Quarterly optimization reviews
We also help you identify unused features in Epicor that could reduce manual effort or improve efficiency, such as:
- Automated alerts and exception handling
- Document routing
- Mobile ERP access
- Advanced planning tools
This proactive approach ensures you keep getting ROI from your Epicor ERP investment—long after implementation.
