Since 2004, EstesGroup Epicor Prophet 21 consultants have supported distributors through every stage of the ERP lifecycle, from selection and implementation to on-premises improvement, ongoing optimization, training, and migration to Epicor Cloud.
Our team is built from professionals who have worked inside distribution companies and understand the daily decisions, pressures, and workflows behind Prophet 21.
As an Epicor Platinum Partner and Prophet 21 reseller and managed services provider, EstesGroup works closely with Epicor across software selection, implementation, support, and cloud migration.
Our relationships across the distribution industry, with software providers like Epicor, respected industry voices, and organizations such as the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors (NAW), help us connect long-term ERP strategy with current Prophet 21 knowledge and useful industry resources. We believe in people. We know the people, and we have the people, who can help your business run better.
What Prophet 21 Consulting Improves
The value of a partnership with EstesGroup will appear in daily work from day one: clearer decisions, fewer workarounds, and greater confidence in the processes and data inside Prophet 21. Pricing, inventory, purchasing, and reporting will follow rules the team can understand and explain. Repeated corrections, disconnected spreadsheets, and manual handoffs will become governed ERP workflows. Users will be trained and know how the process works, why the system responds as it does, and where responsibility belongs.
Prophet 21 Consulting Leadership Rooted in Distribution Experience
Our history runs deep in distribution ERP — when Prophet 21 began moving from on-premises deployment to the cloud, Epicor selected EstesGroup as its first and only cloud hosting provider because our team could support both the ERP application and the infrastructure beneath it.
To this day, that depth in distribution, ERP, and infrastructure shapes how EstesGroup supports Prophet 21. EstesCare ERP for Prophet 21 provides ongoing functional and technical support, while EstesCare Managed IT supports the infrastructure, security, users, and connected systems surrounding the ERP.
