Molded parts are vital components for a variety of industries, including automotive, electronic and medical devices.  And, increasingly, customers are demanding more innovative, higher-quality molded parts, shipped quickly and more cheaply than ever before.  Epicor's manufacturing solutions enable mold makers to streamline and automate the mold production process, enabling you to dramatically reduce delivery schedules and increase profitability.

Epicor for Mold Making: A Quick Guide

• Sophisticated production control tools streamline the process of turning orders into actual work on your floor, enabling you to manufacture and ship complex molds on the short lead times your customers demand.
• Advanced estimating and quoting functions let you build quotes from scratch, or base a quote on a similar job you've performed in the past, ensuring accuracy and reducing the possibility that your business will be tied up with low-margin jobs.
• Bar-coded shop floor data collection tools help shop supervisors gather accurate labor information while telling operators exactly what they should work on at any given time. Group leaders won't need to find the general manager to determine what to work on next.
• Raw material necessary for a mold-making job can be purchased for a particular job or picked from stock, making it easier for you to associate material costs with individual jobs.
• Comprehensive tracker system (including quote tracker, order tracker, and job tracker) means that when your customer inquires about the status of their order, you'll know at a glance where the job stands.  And Epicor's Web-based eCommerce and online customer service tools give your customers and suppliers real-time access to order, shipment, and payment data. 
• Document Management tools help you integrate engineering documents, like CAD drawings of complex molds, with your manufacturing process.
• Business Intelligence tools help you see and react to the variables that affect your productivity, such as the flow of materials into your shop floor and production bottlenecks.

Epicor also offer mold makers a complete suite of professional services, including training, online and phone support, consulting, customization, and installation and implementation services.
