“The other service we used from PTS was a training session that lasted a few days on site. We used one of their trainers, Jeremy, who was very talented in Epicor® but also had a naturally good communication style about him. He taught a few of our people the basics of writing Crystal Reports out of Epicor®. We plan on using PTS as a resource in Epicor® as we move forward.”

Dynamic Metals was in need of system change.  Both Culture and Processes needed improvement.  Multiple attempts have been made over the last 10 years with our current system to reimplement, upgrade and improve processes with little success.  Dynamic was stuck in manual mode and we needed assistance to break the culture and improve processes.  We met with PTS  to discuss our options.  We decided to utilize their services as they are familiar with our current system as well as the system we are in the process of implementing.  PTS  completed a thorough review of our current state understanding that we want to improve our processes using best practices with the new system.  The PTS staff has been knowledgeable, professional and is allowing us to implement with fewer resource hours from our staff.  With their assistance and guidance we have garnered enthusiasm throughout the organization for change that otherwise would have been a difficult task.  They have ensured with constant communication to mitigate any potential scheduling roadblocks in order to maintain the target schedule.  I look forward to completing the implementation and working with PTS on future improvements in our processes. I would certainly recommend PTS for consulting needs.

Saving the customer money…Customer spent $5K and saved $48k!!!

“On a cold winter Wednesday, I joined a metal fabrication conference in the Cleveland area.  We were led to a room covered in brown; the far wall lit up by a projector.  As I unpacked my laptop, trusty notepad and pen, I was approached by a man with a jovial smile.  The feeling that I should know him welled up inside me.  After taking a second glance at my nametag, he said, “we’ve worked together, but we’ve never met face-to-face.”  He went on to tell me how years prior we collaborated on a BPM that defaulted the correct shipping address for purchase orders according to the User-ID on the PO.  “Before you built that, about once a month, these huge semi-loads would arrive at our office building, over 400 miles away from the factory.  It was extremely frustrating, but now we can laugh about it because your BPM has saved us 10’s of thousands of dollars.  It hasn’t happened since.”  He shook my hand and thanked me, as we remembered working together.  Hearing this story made me proud of what I do and where I work.”

When upgrading to Epicor® Kinetic, customers can expect increased integration with 3rd party applications, significant improvements in the Browser UX/UI, integrated AI tools, streamlined workflows that reduce costs, new capabilities in Application Studio. Powerful dashboards with real-time analytics, cloud hosting, and user-fed improvements across the board. 

All of these new features can also be customized to improve the efficiency of your company.

Legacy systems such as Epicor®10, Epicor®9, Vantage®, Vista®, and Enterprise® have served businesses well for many years, and PracticalTek continues to provide a full range of services to support them.

With the rapid pace of technological advancement—particularly over the past five years—many of these systems have become increasingly outdated.

As customer expectations for new features grow, distributors and manufacturers often find themselves struggling to remain competitive while relying on aging platforms that slow their progress.

With the lightning speed at which technology and software evolve, keeping up can be constantly challenging. Need to go Kinetic ERP? 

Is your system starting to have performance issues? Thinking of whether or not to go to the cloud or stay on premise?  Wondering if you have to upgrade your classic customizations to the new Kinetic look? 

Our customers find solutions to all of these questions here at PracticalTek. Turn your obstacles into opportunities with the support of our proven consulting solutions.
