Aerospace and defense contractors run a demanding business.  You'll work on projects that take years to complete, and you may have hundreds of related jobs running through your shop at any time.  In your industry, quality is especially critical, since you build components that need to hold up under the toughest conditions-even in outer space.  And of course your customers require ever-increasing productivity, timeliness, and integration.  Epicor's manufacturing solutions help aerospace and defense contractors thrive in this challenging, critical industry.

Epicor for Aerospace and Defense: A Quick Guide

• Integrated functions-from quoting to shipping and receiving to financials-mean you no longer need to enter redundant data into multiple systems. 
• Easy-to-use visual scheduling tools help you identify and eliminate bottlenecks before they hit the shop floor.  And "what-if" scheduling lets you reconfigure your schedule and see the implications without actually affecting the work in your pipeline.
• Reports and tracking tools let you check the status of all your jobs at any point from quote through closing. 
• Advanced inventory management functions support the serialization and precise part-number tracking that are becoming standard in aerospace and defense manufacturing. 
• Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) compliance lets you export manufacturing and financial data to a variety of applications, helping you integrate your business with customers and other suppliers in complex supply chains.
• Built-in communication tools help all members of your team stay informed throughout the life of your most intricate projects.   For instance, "alert" functionality will send an e-mail to appropriate personnel when critical situations arise.
• Detailed financial reporting enables you to comply with the unique reporting and tracking requirements of customers such as the United States Department of Defense and NASA.
