Epicor’s role in reducing manufacturing fragmentation

Manufacturers operating with fragmented ERP, MES, warehouse management, CPQ and supply chain systems face increasing execution risk as cost pressures, supply volatility, and operational complexity rise. To assess the impact of reducing fragmentation, Nucleus analyzed manufacturers deploying Epicor’s integrated CPQ, ERP, MES, warehouse management, and supply chain capabilities on a shared operational data foundation. Organizations reported 60 to 70 percent improvements in quoting efficiency as executable quotes reflected real-time material costs, engineering constraints, and lead-time assumptions, while automated bill-of-materials and CAD generation recovered more than 75 hours per month from engineering teams. Manufacturers also reduced quoting errors and omissions by 40 to 70 percent, improving margin protection and reducing downstream rework. By minimizing handoffs and revalidation between systems, organizations shortened implementation and onboarding timelines by approximately 10 percent and scaled quoting and order volumes without proportional increases in administrative or engineering headcount. These results indicate that Epicor plays a meaningful role in helping manufacturers reduce operational fragmentation, improve execution reliability, and achieve faster, more predictable time to value.
