“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.”

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.

“General Formulations is a mid-sized manufacturing company currently using Epicor® for our manufacturing system. We have used PTS for a number of tasks including custom SSRS reports, custom dashboards, BPM’s, and Go Live Support. I have found PTS knowledgeable, talented and extremely capable in the work that they have done for our company. I have worked with Jim, Sam, Jarrad, and Glenn and found them all to be consummate professionals with great attitude and ability. I can recommend PTS with the greatest confidence to anyone looking for top-notch help in implementation and customization of Epicor®.”

 

“I do want to say I have been very impressed with PTS and in helping us deal with this problem. (Our consultant) has been great and I know he hasn’t been alone in assisting us on this. Your help is greatly appreciated, and PTS is a great partner.”

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.
