Application Highlights
Inventory Management
Epicor Kinetic Inventory Management provides real-time visibility into stock levels, lot/batch tracking, and expiration management so you always know what’s on hand and where it is. Its integrated inventory modules support automated replenishment, demand forecasting, and material planning that reduce waste, avoid stockouts, and optimize production flow. With real-time data and advanced controls across warehouses and plants, Kinetic ensures inventory aligns with production needs, regulatory requirements, and customer demand while minimizing carrying costs and operational risk.
Quality
Epicor Kinetic’s Quality Assurance module provides the tools and insights to enforce quality standards directly within production workflows. Built-in inspection workbenches, non-conformance reporting, and audit-ready documentation help teams detect, address, and prevent defects while staying aligned with regulatory requirements. Integrated quality processes link inspection results to supplier returns and corrective actions, increasing visibility and control. By embedding quality management into core ERP processes, Kinetic enables consistent product quality and compliance, reducing risk and supporting continuous improvement across the manufacturing lifecycle.
Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management provides real-time visibility and control across sourcing, inventory, production, and delivery, helping streamline operations and reduce risk. With integrated lot tracking and traceability, manufacturers can assign and follow lot identifiers through the entire supply chain, improving recall readiness and compliance. The solution also supports supplier performance evaluation, automated replenishment, and warehouse optimization, enabling better decision-making, reduced waste, and improved fulfillment. By unifying these capabilities, Kinetic helps manufacturers respond faster to demand changes while maintaining product quality and supply chain resilience.
Regulatory Compliance
Epicor Kinetic is designed to address the complex regulatory and quality management requirements of process manufacturers. With automated compliance tracking, manufacturers can maintain adherence to industry regulations while reducing manual effort and minimizing errors. Integrated quality control management connects quality activities across the organization, from production and inspections to supplier returns and accounts payable, ensuring both internal and external standards are consistently met. Audit-ready reporting provides full visibility across every stage of production, enabling manufacturers to track raw materials through finished goods and demonstrate compliance with confidence at any time.
Production Management
Epicor Advanced Production Management streamlines production processes for food and beverage and process manufacturers by managing recipes, formulas, yield, and variances within a unified ERP environment. It supports detailed job planning, routing, and tracking while linking actual production results to expected outcomes, helping teams identify variances and adjust accordingly. Integrated batch and co-product support, real-time visibility into operations, and accurate costing reduce waste, improve throughput, and drive consistent quality. By embedding these capabilities into core production workflows, Kinetic enables manufacturers to optimize performance and maintain control over complex, variable production environments.
Planning & Scheduling
Epicor Planning and Scheduling capabilities give food and beverage manufacturers the visibility they need to run production more predictably and efficiently. Integrated forecasting, master production scheduling, and material requirements planning align demand with capacity so teams can plan proactively rather than reactively. Real-time visibility into production schedules and resource availability helps identify bottlenecks, optimize throughput, and improve on-time delivery. By connecting planning directly to inventory, demand, and shop-floor execution, Kinetic enables manufacturers to manage complexity with confidence and maintain operational flow.
