Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Brice
Baker Group Ltd, a global manufacturer and distributor of silos,
ancillary products and services based in the UK, has selected the
Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning (ERP)
solution. Epicor will replace a number of isolated systems across
the company's entire operation, consisting of facilities in
Bulgaria, Australia, and three sites in the UK.
Brice Baker Group's decision to buy Epicor is part of a
three-year strategic investment and business transformation plan to
take the company's highly regarded heritage and complement it with
the cutting edge machinery and technology needed to support
aggressive growth and expansion plans.
"Our current systems all work in isolation from each other with
files transferred around the business via e-mail and other methods
to get orders from sales to manufacturing and finance as needed,"
said Steve Morgan, sales director at Brice Baker Group. "Getting
our business to number one in its sector is our goal, and we
believe Epicor will help us achieve this and grow with us in the
future as we reach out into new geographies."
Epicor will replace all existing isolated systems within Brice
Baker Group, giving the company real-time integration and
visibility of the business across sales, manufacturing, production,
finance and project accounting, stock management and engineering.
Brice Baker Group believes the new system will allow the company to
make great strides in streamlining its operation and quickly reduce
lead times and stock inventory; a key aim of the company.
"Communicating and sharing information is very difficult with
our current systems and definitely slows the business down," added
Morgan. "It is prone to human error and duplication, and some
processes, such as same day dispatch of spare parts from our
breakdown spares service, are difficult to achieve. Epicor will
help us overcome these challenges, and allow us to be a much more
efficient business."
Brice Baker Group reviewed a number of systems before
short-listing six, and then a final two. Epicor was the only
solution that delivered all of the features Brice Baker Group
required within a single application, with a uniform and easy to
use interface. The company plans to make extensive use of the
Epicor Configurators to standardize its product offering, as well
as the Business Process Management module.
Morgan concluded, "Epicor's sales and CRM features were head and
shoulders above the other solutions we reviewed. Epicor has very
rich functionality, great consistency and flexibility -- it has a
seamlessness that all the other packages lacked."
"Many of our competitors struggle to provide the level of
functionality needed in modern ERP solutions, while ensuring they
maintain a good user experience," added Matt Muldoon, vice
president of product marketing at Epicor. "For us, this is a very
important feature of our products and one that time and time again
customers say separates us from the rest of the field, whether it
is the IT manager that needs to maintain the system or daily
business users."
