“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.”

“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.”

“The straight forward approach was a relief and I appreciate how the PTS team jumped straight in despite the complex challenges we faced.  I was able to speak with Jim directly several times which provided a great amount of comfort, I never had any trouble reaching him and/or a member of his team.

The team at PTS assisted in arranging meetings in which we discussed complicated business process and procedure requirements. This sped up the improvement process significantly.  PTS’ methodology was a perfect fit to quickly and thoroughly address our needs and provide solutions.

The functional results that were produced as a result of Jim’s team were a key component in keeping operations running.  Moreover, their skills for development are extraordinary.  On top of his work, Jim’s team also provided excellent support. They dealt with questions ranging from the absolute basics to advanced easily and with an air of patience that can only be described as completely forgiving!

In short, I would have no hesitation in recommending PTS to any prospective client and I would be happy to answer any questions related to this reference.”

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.
