Epicor Recruitment
Epicor
Kinetic, Prophet 21, BisTrack and Eclipse specialists for manufacturing and distribution businesses.
What is Epicor?
Epicor is a portfolio of mid market ERP and industry vertical platforms: Kinetic (manufacturing), Prophet 21 (distribution), BisTrack and Eclipse (distribution verticals), and Epicor for Service Enterprises, serving manufacturing and distribution businesses globally. Most demand concentrates in the US, particularly across the Midwest manufacturing belt, the Southeast and Texas. We see the same shortage on repeat: Kinetic experience is plentiful next to Prophet 21 or BisTrack, and clients underestimate how narrow those two fields are until they start hiring.
