“We have used PTS for several of our Epicor® needs.  They have helped with our Epicor® implementation through training of our staff.  They have also helped with more technical aspects such as helping us set-up a secondary application server.  I have found PTS to be extremely knowledgeable and professional, and quick to help when needed.”

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.”

“I am very happy and honored to provide you with a reference for Practical Technology Solutions.  I have been EXTREMELY happy with the work that has been provided.  I have not been using them for long (just a number of months), but in a very short time frame they have reassured me that my trust in them as a consulting business partner is well worth it.  I see their knowledge of the Epicor® Product lines as being very in-depth and their staff as highly resourceful.  I highly recommend them as a business consulting partner for your business and technical application needs.”

  • Identify which handheld unit is best suited for their environment

Warehouse Management Solutions

Epicor® offers a variety of warehouse management solutions as part of its ERP packaging, as a standalone or in other software groupings such as Kinetic. Handheld functionality for receiving, picking, adjustments, cycle counting and more are becoming commonplace in any environment.

Our efforts are designed to maximize these common touchpoints and build you a single-core technology to rely on for all of your needs, whether you’re running a full-scale manufacturing operation or a small repair shop that needs to focus on inventory levels and project length estimates based on shippers, carriers, and available stock.
Handhelds are your first line of defense in securing the right information, verifying orders at intake and properly forecasting the month ahead. We’ll put together the custom dashboard and handheld intake options that give you exactly what you need without all of the clutter that’s not relevant to you or your business.
Epicor® 10 Handheld Customization
With the update, new functionality and customization needs have arrived for handhelds. This can include barcode readers that run with additional parameters, support for moving between Production Management and Material Management menu options, as well as adjustments to your dashboards to support the new handheld functionality.
The focus on C# has created some breaks in client architecture and reporting tools, but at PracticalTek we’ve been able to manage this disconnect and properly repair systems so that functionality is restored and you can get the most out of your devices and dashboards.
Epicor® 9 handheld devices may also experience some concerns when you update your system, so PracticalTek has a step-by-step process to review functionality for errors and disconnects. We know your previous third-party options don’t often survive the migration or upgrade process, so let our expert engineers discover the fastest solution to your problems and provide you with a build that does its best to future-proof your mission critical tasks and reports.
