Global Manufacturer Gilwood Fabricators Selects Epicor(R)

Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Gilwood
Fabricators Ltd, a worldwide designer and manufacturer of bespoke
stainless steel products including pressure vessels, scrubber and
skid package units, has selected the Epicor 9 next-generation
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to run its core
business unit functions including sales, manufacturing, finance and
quality control.
With 38 staff across two sites, and a turnover of £2.7 million
(GBP), Gilwood Fabricators will use Epicor to consolidate its
systems into a single ERP implementation that will eliminate the
disparate applications and data stores the company currently relies
on.
"We have to do a lot of double-data entry to transfer
information between applications or use complicated import/export
procedures, which adds a big overhead to the business," said John
Gilmartin, IT manager at Gilwood Fabricators. "It also slows us
down and means there is a lot of margin for error. This is
complicated even further by having no consistent way to audit data
and its movement through applications."
Gilwood Fabricators looked at more than 10 ERP solutions before
selecting Epicor, citing it as the stand-out system with all the
cutting edge features needed, but at a price point much more
competitive than the tier one ERP vendors. In particular the
end-to-end service-oriented architecture (SOA) implementation in
Epicor will enable the extraction and manipulation of data in XML
format, a key requirement.
Gilwood Fabricators will also be making extensive use of Epicor
to orchestrate its processes through the Business Process
Management and Service Connect applications. This will allow the
company to run real-time, event-driven workflow orchestrations,
process automations, and application integration, without the need
for additional programming.
"We were particularly impressed with the intuitive visual way
Epicor allows you to create, edit and examine business processes
and workflows throughout the application," added John Gilmartin.
"This, along with the overall flexibility of the solution, meant
that we knew Epicor was the right choice for Gilwood Fabricators
and would grow and adapt with our needs."
"Epicor is a feature rich ERP solution, and we have always
sought to ensure small- and medium-sized businesses have access to
the tools needed to be as efficient as possible in their markets,"
added James Norwood, senior vice president, worldwide product
marketing at Epicor. "Our customers tell us what they want to see
in Epicor and we are always working to extend the features
available to them."
