Manufacturers are Moving to
Epicor Kinetic
It’s not just time for better software. It’s time for a better community.
For manufacturers running QAD, the challenge isn’t just about outdated technology, it’s about being part of a community that’s no longer evolving with you. QAD has reduced investment in its roadmap, canceled its next major release, and shifted away from the kind of customer engagement that fosters long-term success.
Epicor and its customers are moving in the opposite direction.
Epicor continues to invest heavily in Epicor Kinetic, expanding functionality, modernizing the cloud platform, and creating a vibrant, engaged ecosystem centered around Insights, Epicor’s annual customer conference. The result is a true manufacturing community - one that listens, innovates, and grows together.
At Cambia Advisors, we help manufacturers move from QAD to Epicor Kinetic with clarity and confidence. Our team has deep experience in the QAD ecosystem and understands both its capabilities and its limits. That means we can map your current QAD environment to Epicor Kinetic in a like-for-like fashion - quickly, accurately, and at no cost - so you can see exactly what your future could look like without the uncertainty of a lengthy discovery project.
And because Cambia is exclusively focused on Epicor, our commitment runs deeper. We’re not juggling multiple ERP vendors or pushing whatever product fits the moment. We’re all in on Epicor, on Kinetic, and on your success.
If your ERP provider is cutting features while raising costs, it’s time to consider a community that’s expanding its vision for manufacturers like you. Epicor doesn't just offer better software for manufacturers. We offer a better community.
Epicor and Cambia Advisors - driving innovation, connection, and confidence in every step forward.
