5 Epicor Manufacturing Express Edition Broad Industry-Specific Functionality Express has been developed from the Epicor ERP core functionality that has been in use and proven at thousands of manufacturers over the past 40 years. Within Express, we ve brought together the broad range of functionality small manufacturers require into a single end-to-end solution.

Business Flexibility Whether your business is a job shop, machine shop, stamper, or other type of manufacturer, however you account, cost, or produce, Express is flexible enough to support your business process, including: Assembly Make-to-stock Make-to-order Engineer-to-order Mixed-mode Whether manufacturing standard products where processes are common and repetitive or custom products where each job is different and requires changes on-the-fly, Express can easily accommodate your unique requirements. End-to-End Business Visibility Express provides you with everything you need to manage your business in one system. It eliminates the need for separate applications, spreadsheets and work arounds to turn data into information. Since Express is developed on a common relational database, data is shared across applications. New data and changes are propagated through the system immediately providing up-to-date customer, operational, and financial visibility across the organization at all times. 3
