Overall
Kinetic suits discrete and make-to-order manufacturers that want deep manufacturing functionality (MES, planning and scheduling, PLM links) with a choice of cloud, hybrid or on-premises delivery. The main trade-off is opacity: no list pricing or implementation timelines are published, so budgeting requires a vendor or partner quote. It is strongest for mid-size to multinational manufacturers rather than services businesses.
White Papers and Demos
White Paper provided by Epicor
A fundamental principal of business operations is distinguishing your company from the competition. Since larger companies often have the advantage of scale, smaller companies must find ways to differentiate themselves to appeal to new customers, retain existing customers, and add new revenue streams. One way distributors can do this is by offering value-added services to their customers.
