On June 25, 2007, Epicor Software announced enhancements to its Epicor Supplier Relationship Management Suite, part of Epicor's end-to-end solution that enables companies to drive efficiency, improve performance, and build competitive advantage by streamlining and optimizing purchasing processes for direct and indirect goods. The latest release includes new features and tools for Epicor Procurement including order-to-stock for direct materials, mobile access for approvers and an enhanced user experience for requisitioners.
Epicor Procurement, a Web-based purchasing solution that empowers employees to manage their own buying within the framework of defined business rules, works with the core Epicor system as the Web-based face to inventory control. Working together with the Epicor Supply Chain Management suite, Epicor Procurement provides visibility to stock and the ability to generate orders to stock and stock transfer requests. With Procurement, companies benefit from extensive approval workflow capability and audit trails and comprehensive spend analytics.
The enhanced tools for direct materials processes in Epicor Procurement provide functionality that is in high demand among industries that manage direct materials in many locations, such as hospitality. Hotels, restaurants and other multi-site hospitality organizations can leverage Epicor Procurement to restock multiple locations from a central warehouse or commissary, as well as track inventory at each remote location.
Epicor Procurement empowers the mobile worker by enabling order approvals via PDA. The newly available mobile access tools not only helps mobile users to complete their jobs with greater efficiency, but also makes approving from desktop e-mail easier by providing order details in each approval notification e-mail.
