In today’s fast-moving manufacturing and distribution industries, automation isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Businesses leveraging Epicor ERP are increasingly turning to Epicor Automation Studio to streamline operations, reduce manual work, and improve process accuracy. But while the tool is powerful, many companies struggle to fully unlock its capabilities without expert guidance.
That’s where Epicforce Tech steps in.
This blog explores how our team helps organizations take full advantage of Epicor Automation Studio—from strategy and implementation to training and long-term support. Our goal is not to sell a product but to empower businesses with smarter, scalable solutions built around their real-world needs.
What is Epicor Automation Studio? A Brief Overview
Epicor Automation Studio is a low-code integration and automation platform built within the Epicor ecosystem. It allows businesses to:
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Connect Epicor ERP with third-party applications
- Create logic-based workflows
- Improve data accuracy and flow between systems
Automation Studio reduces the need for manual interventions, boosts efficiency, and allows both technical and non-technical users (citizen developers) to build automations with minimal coding knowledge.
But while it sounds simple on the surface, building dependable, scalable automation requires deep understanding—not just of the tool, but of your business operations. That’s where experienced consultants can make the difference.
Common Roadblocks Businesses Face with Automation Studio
Despite its user-friendly interface, many companies hit obstacles such as:
- Unclear automation strategy
- Inadequate staff training
- Data mismatches between systems
- Workflow failures due to poor design
- Limited understanding of Epicor’s backend processes
These issues often stem not from the software itself, but from the absence of a tailored, guided approach to implementation.
How Epicforce Tech Supports Your Automation Journey
Let’s break down exactly how Epicforce Tech helps businesses unlock the full potential of Epicor Automation Studio through hands-on support, strategic consulting, and knowledge transfer.
1. Custom Automation Planning Aligned to Business Goals
Every automation project starts with understanding your specific business processes.
At Epicforce Tech, we work closely with your team to:
- Identify repetitive, error-prone tasks
- Map current workflows
- Prioritize automation based on ROI
- Design scalable flow logic that aligns with business rules
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all automation. Instead, we tailor each workflow to your unique operations—whether it’s automating order entry, syncing data with a CRM, or generating alerts when KPIs drop.
2. Comprehensive Training for Citizen Developers and IT Teams
Epicor Automation Studio is designed to empower non-technical users, but most teams need support to gain confidence and avoid costly mistakes.
Our training programs are:
- Practical and role-based
- Tailored for both beginners and technical users

- Backed with documentation, sample use cases, and testing tips
Epicforce Tech enables your in-house team to build, troubleshoot, and evolve workflows independently.

One of the most valuable features of Epicor Automation Studio is its ability to connect Epicor ERP with external systems like:
- CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)

We help you build automation that performs under pressure—whether triggered once a day or thousands of times per hour.

Many businesses face hurdles when upgrading Epicor ERP or evolving business models. Outdated or fragile automations often break.
We support:
- Migration of workflows between environments
- Testing automation compatibility after upgrades
