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.”

“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.”

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.
