Independent research firm study highlights total economic benefits of over $9 million from the implementation of Epicor ERP
Epicor Software Corporation announced the availability of a new Total Economic Impact (TEI) study that examines the potential return on investment (ROI) companies can achieve with the Epicor enterprise resource planning (ERP) suite. The August 2017 commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Epicor is titled, “The Total Economic Impact of Epicor ERP: Driving Efficiency, Customer Responsiveness, And Cost Savings Through Epicor ERP.”
The study is based on detailed interviews conducted with a number of Epicor customers. Their combined attributes and experiences form a composite organization from which Forrester developed a framework to measure the potential financial impact and investment return of Epicor ERP to an organization.
Based on the analysis, Epicor ERP enabled the composite organization to achieve risk-adjusted inventory savings of $4.4 million, with a risk-adjusted ROI of 264% and a payback period of 13 months, in addition to over $3.4 million in enterprise efficiency savings bringing the total economic benefit to more than $9 million. Furthermore, with Epicor ERP the composite organization achieved significant business benefits and productivity improvements across its supply chain, production management, planning and scheduling, sales, finance and IT functions such as:
- Increased versatility with deployment options such as the Epicor Cloud ERP offering
- Productivity gains and cost savings from improved manufacturing processes and increased visibility
- Increased sales from improved customer collaboration and customer relationship management
- IT cost savings from consolidation and replacement of legacy systems
- Faster access to data and improved real-time visibility that enables better decision making
- Increased competitiveness with quicker turnaround of customer quotes and improved pricing accuracy enabled by cost transparency
