Epicor ERP adds low-code BI with Grow acquisition
Summary
Epicor is based in Austin, Texas, and focuses on functionality for midmarket manufacturers, including supply chain, inventory planning, and management, distribution and finance. Epicor subsequently revamped its traditional on-premises ERP systems for the cloud and has bought up four additional companies in the past year. Epicor was looking to expand its BI capabilities, and Castiglione said Grows technology and team were a good fit. The low-code ease of use is a huge advantage for Grow, as a large part of Epicors ERP customer base is SMBs, particularly in manufacturing, according to Castiglione. The acquisition of Grow reflects three ERP trends: the move to best-of-breed systems, the evolution of low-code applications, and the increasing focus on data and analytics, according to Eric Kimberling, CEO of Third Stage Consulting Group, an independent enterprise industry consulting firm in Lone Tree, Colo. "This acquisition allows Epicor to provide additional strength related to companies that might be considering best-of-breed types of solutions by integrating data sets across Epicor and other systems," Kimberling said.
