Unique Features

Cetec ERP is a single, unified business platform that delivers “tier 1” enterprise-level feature breadth at extraordinarily lower costs than traditional systems, owing to a long history combined with completely modernized cloud/SaaS technology. Their approach is direct, friendly, and transparent: they own the technology (i.e. no “bolt-ons”), and offer the software directly with no markup (i.e. not through incompetent third-party VARs), and offer close, attentive in-house support.

With curated solutions based on 50 years of deep and broad experience in ERP software, Epicor for Building Supply is purpose-built with and for building materials suppliers and distributors, and metal service centers.

Epicor solutions are distinguished by

  • Deployment your way: Get the speed, security, and reliability of cloud or on-premises deployment.
  • Web-enablement: You and your customers can conduct business anytime, anywhere through intuitive web apps.
  • Configurability: Customize fields, personalize views, and enact your own business logic.
  • Extensibility: Integrate with business applications, partners, and customers through APIs.

Unique Features

Expandable has designed a unique enterprise solution that gets companies started quickly with a complete, integrated ERP system that is easy to use, inexpensive to deploy, and will meet your needs long into the future.

TRUE SCALABILITY

Expandable ERP is designed to support companies all the way from startup to the billion-dollar mark on a single implementation. Companies implementing their first system have the option to deploy Expandable ERP while the finance department continues using QuickBooks until they’re ready to deploy Expandable’s GAAP-compliant accounting modules. Companies replacing existing software can migrate their existing data to Expandable and implement options like CRM, dashboards, EDI, and other advanced features.

EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION

Because Expandable sells and supports its product with direct company employees, a customer’s investment goes towards superior software rather than costly implementation services. Expandable’s own customer support representatives execute the implementation and do all the necessary data conversion so that new customers get up and running quickly to generate the shortest possible time-to-benefit.

Experienced Expandable personnel can minimize implementation costs to bring the total price to an affordable level for emerging companies. Expandable’s proprietary implementation checklist assures those key milestones are defined and that implementation assignments are covered and completed on time.

THREE DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS:

Expandable customers can choose the deployment model that best meets their goals, with the option of migrating to a different model as needs change. Options are cloud deployment (hosted or Azure), on-site purchase, or on-site subscription.

Unique Features

Sage 100 Cloud is the perfect first ERP system for a company currently frustrated with Quickbooks and Excel spreadsheets.

Limitations

Not ideal for service-based or retail businesses. No “HR” or “Payroll” inside the platform; requires integrating to a third-party payroll system.

Limitations

Limitations

Limitations

Limitations

Expandable ERP is designed for made-to-stock manufacturers who build to a bill of materials. So it would make sense that the system is not ideal+ for engineer-to-order environments or custom job shops. Industries in which we generally do not provide a good fit include apparel, agriculture, construction, lumber, metal fabrication, oil and gas, and non-manufacturers.

Limitations

Limitations

Global Shop Solutions primarily focuses on the needs of discrete manufacturers which may differ from the needs of process manufacturers.
