Epicor for Capital Equipment: A Quick Guide

• Product Configurator module helps you manage the detailed part structures inherent in building large equipment.  You can configure parts during the quote or order process, and generate multi-level bill of materials for all your assemblies. 
• Comprehensive job travelers include subcontracted operations-important for the subcontracted work that your customers are increasingly asking you to manage.
• Innovative, easy-to-use visual scheduling tools help you identify and eliminate bottlenecks before they hit the shop floor.  If you're facing an overload at a critical work center, an operator can just drag-and-drop a job's schedule forward or backward to alleviate the overload. 
• Currency Management and other globalization tools make it easy for you to manage the international suppliers and customers that have become critical to any industrial equipment manufacturing business.
• Machine and work center maintenance schedules are integrated with the production schedule, so you can minimize downtime while still tooling parts to existing tolerances.
• 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.
• Bar-coded shop floor data collection tools help shop supervisors gather accurate labor information while telling machine operators exactly what they should work on at any given time.
• Web-based eCommerce and online customer service tools give your customers and suppliers real-time access to order, shipment, and payment data.
