The Epicor Distribution Suite portfolio includes the popular distribution systems Prophet 21® and Eclipse™. The software offers a complete set of solutions for distributors to manage their business from a single system.
Epicor Distribution Suite provides applications for purchasing, order management, accounting, transportation management, and inventory management, as well as other modules. All of these modules are brought together to form a single solution that can serve a distributor of any size. The software can handle the needs of businesses with $1 million in annual revenue, as well as multi-warehouse organizations that bring in more than $1 billion. The software is appropriate for distributors in electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fluid power, fastener, medical and petroleum industries, in addition to several other industries.
The software draws from multiple applications at once to make the software more usable. For instance, financial information such as credit and accounts receivable data can be viewed on the same screen that orders are entered into. Epicor Distribution also allows for warehouse information to be accessed using purchase order numbers, allowing for inventory to be easily located and shipped after purchase.
