“So far Jim and a group from PTS have come in to do a CRP/training session for two days that was extremely helpful. They have also developed and installed a customized program to assist in automated Order Entry and processing, shipment entry and processing, and have developed customized SSRS reports. They have always addressed our concerns in a timely manner, and are very conscientious about costs, and very detailed in their work.

I definitely recommend PTS as a partner for Epicor® technical services and continue to use them. I only wish I had found them sooner. I will continue to go to them for enhancements, training and consulting as there is no doubt they will help us maximize our investment and minimize our time spent implementing various Epicor® solutions.”

“We were looking for some good Epicor® E9 expertise to help us in streamlining our E9 implementation and better align our business processes with E9 where practical.

Practical Technology Solutions (PTS) brought both business process background and E9 application knowledge to the table in a very affordable package. PTS helped us with both High level advice as well as detailed implementation assistance and outright programming assistance to develop and test customization’s and reports. Their knowledge of reporting tools such as Crystal Reports and the database schema is excellent. While working with PTS recently, our consultant is responsive, always with a friendly, professional attitude. He has provided insight and demonstrated a high level of technical skill. We have assigned projects of various degrees of complexities with PTS and generally, have received a response in a timely manner. We would recommend PTS as a solution in assisting with ERP business challenges.”

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.
