ERP Implementation Team
The People Behind Your ERP: An Implementation Team Built on Decades of Distribution and Manufacturing Expertise Schedule an ERP Strategy SessionYour Implementation Team is the Most Important Decision You’ll Make
Choosing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) platform can feel like such a big change that your team may feel as if you packed up your factories and warehouses and moved to a foreign land.
This is where your EstesGroup implementation team helps you settle in and build a system that still feels like home.
Our Epicor Prophet 21 and Epicor Kinetic consultants go where you’re going while also guiding the way. We work with you to implement your new software and technology by learning how your business runs, mapping your workflows, and asking the questions that will really make a difference tomorrow and in the years to come. We may start as outsiders, but we stay with you well after go-live, making sure your ERP software and its supporting technology works the way you expect it to work. The result is an investment that saves time, supports your team, and holds up under real-world use, day after day.
The People Who Make an ERP Project Work
Each role shapes a different layer of the system. When those layers align, the ERP holds its structure even when challenged.
Senior Functional Consultants
Inside Epicor Prophet 21 and Epicor Kinetic, system behavior begins with functional design. Order entry, pricing, inventory, purchasing, production, and financial flow must reflect how your business operates. Functional consultants bring that alignment into the system so it behaves with consistency across departments.
Technical Architects
Beneath the workflows, the system requires structure. Architecture across application layers, databases, and integrations determines whether performance holds steady as volume increases. In both Prophet 21 and Kinetic environments, this role helps keep the system stable, scalable, and capable of supporting future change.
Project Managers
ERP work does not break down from lack of effort alone. It breaks down when decisions lose sequence. Project management establishes order across scope, timeline, and communication so configuration, data, and infrastructure move together with clarity and intent.
Data Migration and Governance Specialists
The system reflects the quality of its data. Customer records, vendor files, inventory positions, pricing structures, and transaction history must be accurate and coherent before they enter the ERP. This discipline helps ensure that Prophet 21 and Kinetic produce outputs your team can trust from the first day forward.
Managed IT and Infrastructure Engineers
System performance depends on the environment beneath it. Cloud architecture, servers, network design, security posture, backup, and recovery form the foundation on which the ERP operates. In both distribution and manufacturing environments, this layer shapes uptime, reliability, and resilience.
Integration and Automation Specialists
An ERP does not operate in isolation. EDI, eCommerce, warehouse systems, shipping platforms, reporting tools, and supplier connections must exchange data without friction. Integration work helps information move cleanly across systems so operations do not depend on manual intervention.
Training and Adoption Leads
A well-designed system still requires disciplined use. Training focuses on how work is performed inside the ERP - order processing, warehouse execution, production reporting, and financial tasks - so users can work with confidence and consistency across roles.
EstesCare Support and Optimization Team
After go-live, the system enters its longest phase. Ongoing support, configuration refinement, and upgrade planning help ensure the ERP continues to reflect how the business evolves. This layer protects system integrity over time rather than allowing gradual decline.
Each role addresses a different condition of the system. Together, they shape whether the ERP remains dependable as the business grows.
ERP Implementation Services for Distribution and Manufacturing
ERP implementation is not software installation. It is operational engineering.
EstesGroup delivers ERP implementation services for distributors and manufacturers that require measurable improvements in visibility, margin control, inventory accuracy, production scheduling, and financial governance. As an Epicor Platinum Partner and Epicor Prophet 21 reseller, we lead implementations of Epicor Prophet 21 for wholesale and industrial distributors and Epicor Kinetic for manufacturers across discrete, make-to-order, and industrial environments.
Both Prophet 21 and Epicor Kinetic are built for their industries. We help you actualize and continually optimize the best possible version of your ERP system. At EstesGroup, our work in ERP implementation, managed services, and cloud architecture is governed by four non-negotiable principles: Passion, Integrity, Respect, and Accountability.
