“We don’t have a traditional IT department…… I’ve worked with a few different consultants over the last 3 years, after I found PracticalTek (An independent professional services provider), I will always go to them first with a need. They got to my projects in short order, knew exactly what I was talking about most of the time and if they didn’t, it was easy to explain to them what I needed. The rate is better and the work is more efficient than I have found elsewhere. I would highly recommend PracticalTek (An independent professional services provider) to anyone using Epicor®.”

“PracticalTek worked with us immediately and tirelessly to get our Avante System and Company back up and running. Thank-you for coming to our rescue – to rescue a stranger in need. It speaks volumes to the type of company that PracticalTek is, and to the type of people you are. Thank-you and your team from all of us at Bird Technologies Group.”

“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.”

Our engineers are able to properly adjust your handheld devices so customizations work on all screens, especially those that call or are called by your initial UI screen. Some of the work we’ve done for clients include:
  • Identify which handheld unit is best suited for their environment
  • Order, Setup and configured hardware for coverage with redundancy overlapping ranges
  • Customizations: handhelds and automation should go hand-in-hand.  With just a scan you can completely automate shipments, receipts, cycle counts, process RMAs and DMRs, etc.  Make your handheld even more powerful than it already is

  • We have set up numerous customer environments, trained users, tested coverage and added developmental improvements who pursued handheld efficiencies
Improvements you may need could include custom overlays and interface changes for the handheld module, support for integration of data with Epicor® Vantage’s ability to auto-update and populate content, as well as disruptions caused by your handheld UI.
PracticalTek experts can help you with each aspect of Epicor® 9 and 10 handheld customization with tools that work across both systems in case your facilities are migrating in waves but you’d like to share data and generate reports that span your entire operation.

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.
