“Imarda has faced several business challenges recently as we have been undergoing significant growth for our i360 product. This growth has resulted in increased manufacturing volumes, and complicated BOM’s (Bill of Materials) and increased billing to be produced from an aging ERP system (Epicor® Vantage 8) that is in need of replacement.

Imarda had done an amount of work with PTS in the past and I contacted Jim from PTS in the hope this company could assist. Jim’s team jumped straight in aware of the challenges we faced. I was able to talk to Jim directly several times which provided a huge amount of comfort and even though the time zones were different I never had any issues reaching him or a member of his team. Their straight forward approach was a relief. The team at PTS assisted in arranging meetings, eliciting the answers from iMarda staff with questions backed up

Their straight forward approach was a relief. The team at PTS assisted in arranging meetings, eliciting the answers from iMarda staff with questions backed up from years of experience in Epicor®. This sped up the business improvement process significantly. Their agile methodology was a perfect fit as we needed to jump between issues often very quickly and due to the nature of our remote staff the timing of such meetings was often at short notice. The functional results that were produced as a result of Jim’s team were a key component in keeping the operations process running within Imarda.

On top of this work, Jim’s team also provided excellent support, as our lack of knowledge with Epicor® due to staff churn again left us challenged with internal support options. Jim’s team dealt with questions ranging from the absolute basics to advanced questions 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.”

“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.”

Epicor® Social
Epicor® ERP 10 features Epicor® Social Enterprise (ESE), a collaboration network made to help businesses succeed. Functioning like your business’ own internal social network, Epicor® ESE is embedded in the ERP’s structure and allows users to access it from anywhere using a personal mobile device or computer.
With this tool, your employees always stay connected, improving communication speed and teamwork without frequent meetings or social functions.
Features of Social Enterprise
Epicor® Social allows you to communicate and carry out workflows more quickly using instant messaging and collaborative tools. These tools include:
  • Mobile Compatibility: Access from your smartphone or tablet so you can hear back immediately as soon as a project or response comes in.
  • Group Organization: Create customized groups, organized by department, project or idea, and make them public or private — just as you would through any other social media site. This way, you can post messages both publicly and privately to entire groups of people and control who can see them.
  • Project Following: ESE integrates with your Epicor® settings, so if a user follows a business object, they get updates whenever it’s changed. This allows them to respond to updates quickly.
  • Instant Notifications: Alerts keep you up-to-date on new messages, project updates and any other information you may need for work so you and your operational group can respond in a timely fashion.
  • Private Messaging: Exchange messages instantly to other users as soon as they sign up. This can include people in your own business, as well as customers and suppliers, signed up to the ESE system.
  • Epicor® Integrations: ESE leverages capabilities within the ERP software, such as Epicor® Enterprise Search, to allow users to quickly find information about a project or idea within the company database. ESE also lets users search for this information using established hashtags.
