“I found PracticalTek with a Google search.  I spoke and met with Jim Chance and had a lengthy discussion about his company’s capabilities.  Everything sounded well as they possessed the capabilities we wanted, the reasonable rate and low risk.  That is, if this did not work out, I could sever the relationship quickly and move on. We have provided PTS with detailed specs often with screen-shots.  Our initial specs were for relatively simple customization’s.  We found that PTS worked very efficiently and coordinated very well with the project team. Today the staff of PTS is tackling our most complex customization and is working with us on other Epicor® implementation issues.  We also will utilize their report-writing capabilities shortly.  Because of this positive relationship, I highly recommend PTS for their efficiency, knowledge, communications and professionalism. “

“We are a growing Engineering and Manufacturing company within the Mail Order Pharmacy industry.  About a year ago, we purchased Epicor® 10 as a tool to help us grow the company and link all departments from a system point of view.  Epicor® sales presentation provided the proof that these goals would be met with this software. We fortunately found Jim Chance at PTS.  He has been working with us over the past quarter, with all of our testing and implementation (go-live) pain points.  He has spent many long hours with us onsite, understanding our company and our needs as it relates to Epicor®.  He is currently helping us to develop processes, procedures, forms, and BAQ’s for each end user and each department, on an as-needed basis.  I have found him and his team to be extremely knowledgeable in all areas within Epicor® – from production to finance – which has made him and his team extremely valuable to our company as we embark on this software implementation. ”

“On a cold winter Wednesday, I joined a metal fabrication conference in the Cleveland area.  We were led to a room covered in brown; the far wall lit up by a projector.  As I unpacked my laptop, trusty notepad and pen, I was approached by a man with a jovial smile.  The feeling that I should know him welled up inside me.  After taking a second glance at my nametag, he said, “we’ve worked together, but we’ve never met face-to-face.”  He went on to tell me how years prior we collaborated on a BPM that defaulted the correct shipping address for purchase orders according to the User-ID on the PO.  “Before you built that, about once a month, these huge semi-loads would arrive at our office building, over 400 miles away from the factory.  It was extremely frustrating, but now we can laugh about it because your BPM has saved us 10’s of thousands of dollars.  It hasn’t happened since.”  He shook my hand and thanked me, as we remembered working together.  Hearing this story made me proud of what I do and where I work.”

About Epicor® 10: Background and Changes
Epicor® 10 offers a number of improvements over the previous iteration of the company’s enterprise resource planning software. The new system has been designed from the ground up to be more responsive to your business needs, easier to use and more flexible overall. Some of the key changes include:
  • A redesigned interface. features Windows-based architecture and visual components that are more intuitive to use and easier to train staff on. A simpler interface means fewer labor hours are lost to training and fewer avoidable mistakes are made on a day-to-day basis.
  • Go-anywhere compatibility. accessible on-the-go from any device, allowing for easier collaboration and data sharing across large geographic distances. Equip your on-the-ground staff with a tablet for real-time access to scheduling, shipping, ordering and other tools.
  • Improved responsiveness. Some of the biggest changes aren’t immediately obvious — the system has been designed to be leaner and more resource-efficient, improving overall performance and keeping your hardware costs low.
Epicor® 10 gives you the option of choosing between on-site, hosted or subscription-based deployment. Let PracticalTek help you select the system that makes most sense for your operation and oversee the installation process to ensure it goes smoothly.
