What is an ERP?
In its simplest terms, an Enterprise Resource Planning system or “ERP” is a software that contains a suite of applications that help you manage your core business processes. These applications help you do everything from manage sales and inventory to provide you with vital HR tools. In turn, the ERP works as a signalized system, which not only streamlines your day-to-day operations, but also provides you with a variety of modules, each of which have their own characteristics, functions, and features.
Types of Epicor ERP Modules:
Epicor ERP software contains centralized ERP modules that have many functions. Really, you can think of each of these modules as providing different functional ERP system requirements that allow users to manage grouped tasks without having to worry about switching applications or screens.

- Accounting – The back office is a vital part of every business. Epicor ERP has built in functionality that support accounts receivable, accounts payable and general ledger functions that help manage your finances easily and quickly.

Epicor ERP’s Inventory Management module exchanges data with manufacturing, distribution, sales and customer records to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information on hand.
Characteristics of the Epicor ERP System Modules:
The aforementioned functionality of the ERP modules available to you with Epicor ERP is simply one small glimpse into all of its capabilities. On top of being modular, these types of ERP software modules rely on a centralized database, meaning that users across various departments are working with the same exact data. Additionally, while this data is centralized, individual modules can be configured throughout various departments (i.e. your HR Department won’t be able to edit your inventory management system). This high level of integration (yet siloed administrative capabilities) enable everyone within the company to work seamlessly with one another while improving time management. Since everything is within one system, you don’t have to worry about a communication breakdown where key pieces of information are lost in the plethora of emails each department receives every day, avoiding costly and timely mistakes from human error. Through various ERP modules and functions, you are able to serve your customers much more efficiently and effectively in the end.
