Companies that use Epicor (verified customer list)

We dug into our own data to find which companies are using Epicor products in production. Here are real-world examples of how the biggest companies in the world are using Epicor.

Rexel

Electrical Distribution · Paris, France · Epicor

Rexel is one of the biggest companies most Americans have never heard of. They're a French company that does about 19 billion euros in sales every year, and they own a whole bunch of US electrical distributors you've probably driven past without noticing: Gexpro, Platt Electric Supply, Mayer, and Rexel itself. If you've ever been on a construction site, an electrician was probably installing wires, switches, and lighting that came out of a Rexel warehouse.

The system that runs the whole show is Epicor Eclipse. When an electrician orders a hundred feet of wire and three light fixtures for a job, that order goes into Eclipse. When the warehouse pulls the items off the shelves and loads them onto a truck, that's Eclipse. When the bill goes out and the inventory gets restocked, Eclipse again. It's the central nervous system for hundreds of warehouses doing thousands of orders a day.

Rexel grows a lot by buying other electrical distributors. When they do, they have to take that company's old computer system and move everything over to Eclipse. All the products, all the customer accounts, all the pricing, all the warehouse locations. They have entire teams whose job is to do these conversions. It's painstaking work because you can't just shut down a distributor for a few weeks while you switch systems. The orders have to keep flowing.

There's also a quieter side of this. Rexel has a subsidiary called Talley that handles wireless network gear, and they manage a huge pricing contract with Verizon. The cost files, the margin calculations, and the order matching for that program all live inside Epicor Prelude, another Epicor product. So the same family of software is what makes sure Verizon gets the right price on the right part at the right time.

So the next time you see an electrician on a job site, or you drive past a cell tower being serviced, there's a decent chance the parts they're using were ordered, picked, shipped, and billed through Epicor.

Apogee Enterprises

Architectural Products · Minneapolis, MN · Epicor

Apogee is a $1.5 billion company that makes the glass on skyscrapers and the museum-grade glass that protects fine art. Their brands include Viracon, Wausau Window, EFCO, Tubelite, and Tru Vue. The system that runs their factory floors is Epicor.

A typical day at the Louisville, Kentucky plant starts with a worker pulling up Epicor to see what jobs are queued for their CNC router. Once they pick the next job, the system tells them which aluminum sheets to grab, which router program to run, and how many panels to make. After the panels are cut, the worker logs the count and dimensions back into Epicor, and any defective panels that get tossed are recorded as scrap in the same system. By the time the finished panels are boxed up for shipping, Epicor has captured every step of the process.

Just down the hall, the coating line is doing the same dance with a different set of products. Workers there apply specialty coatings to materials that end up in museums, digital displays, and high-end interior design, and as the line runs they're constantly entering production counts, quality readings, and material usage into Epicor. When something needs to move, a material handler pulls up the system to find where the parts are stored, stages them for the next job, and then updates Epicor again once the move is done.

What's happening on the factory floor flows up to the planning side, where the production planners at the Wausau, Wisconsin plant use Epicor to build the master schedule that decides which products get made when. They're balancing customer demand against machine capacity, and Epicor is what tells them whether the plan is realistic. From there, the same data flows to the accountants closing the books for the Performance Surfaces business unit and to the maintenance supervisors at Wausau tracking which machines need repairs and which preventive jobs are coming due.

The way it all fits together is that Epicor is essentially the shared notebook everyone at Apogee writes in. A worker on the floor writes down what they made, which becomes the input the planner uses to schedule what should be made next, which becomes the data the accountant reads to close the books, and so on down the line. Without Epicor sitting in the middle, none of those people would know what the others were doing.

Fluidra

Pool Products Manufacturing · Sant Cugat del Vallès, Spain · Epicor

If you have a pool in your backyard, or know someone who does, there's a really good chance some of the equipment in it came from Fluidra. They make pool cleaners under the Polaris brand, pool pumps and heaters under Jandy, robotic pool vacuums under Zodiac, and ladders and diving boards under S.R. Smith. The company is publicly traded out of Spain and does about two billion dollars in sales a year. The system that runs their North American operations is Epicor.

Pool products are wildly seasonal. People buy them in March, April, and May to get ready for summer, which means Fluidra has to forecast demand months in advance, manufacture millions of pumps and cleaners and accessories during the off-season, and have everything sitting in distribution centers ready to ship the moment retailers start ordering. All of that planning happens in Epicor. The buyers placing orders for raw materials like metals, plastics, and electronics are sitting in Epicor every day, generating purchase orders, tracking what's coming in from suppliers, and making sure inventory levels at the warehouses are exactly where they need to be when the spring rush hits.

Once products start coming in or going out, Epicor follows them through the building. At the Perris, California facility, when a part shows up from a supplier and fails inspection, the quality team uses Epicor to log the rejection, decide whether the part gets reworked, returned to the vendor, or scrapped, and track the whole thing through to resolution. At the Portland, Tennessee plant where S.R. Smith makes pool ladders and diving boards, the manufacturing engineers use Epicor to keep work instructions, bills of materials, and production routings up to date as products and processes evolve.

The same system feeds the financial side of the business. The operations finance team in Salt Lake City uses Epicor to roll up the standard costs that go into every product, reconcile the inventory ledger every month, and run the annual physical inventory count across the warehouses. The tax team in Atlanta pulls data straight out of Epicor to file corporate tax returns and respond to audits. Even the commercial sales team handling big custom orders for hotels, water parks, and apartment complexes tracks every project, drawing, and quote in Epicor.

So next time someone is firing up their pool for the summer, the gear they're using probably moved through an Epicor system at some point on its way from a factory floor to their backyard.

AMETEK

Industrial Technology · Berwyn, PA · Epicor

AMETEK is a seven and a half billion dollar industrial technology company. The way they've grown over the years is pretty unusual. Instead of building one giant headquarters with one giant factory, they've quietly bought up dozens of smaller specialty manufacturers around the world and let each one keep running the way it always has. So today AMETEK is really a federation of smaller companies operating in different cities and different countries, each making its own products for its own customers.

The funny thing is that a lot of these little companies, before AMETEK ever bought them, happened to already be running on the same software. They were all using Epicor. And when AMETEK acquired them, instead of forcing everyone onto something new, they just left them alone. So Epicor stuck around, and over the years it's spread quietly through the company until today it's running operations at a real chunk of AMETEK's businesses across the US, Canada, and Europe.

What that looks like in practice is that if you walked into one of these factories, Epicor would be the system everyone is leaning on to get through the day. The folks on the assembly line check Epicor to see what they're supposed to build next and pull up the drawings they need to follow. As parts come off the line, the quality team logs their measurements into Epicor, and if something's defective, that gets flagged in the system too so the team can figure out whether to fix it, throw it out, or send it back to the supplier.

Down the hall, the warehouse crew is using the same software to track what's on the shelves, what just got delivered, and what needs to go out the door. And upstairs, the accountants are pulling reports out of Epicor to close the books at the end of the month, while the buyers are using it to chase down suppliers who are running late on shipments.

The neat part of this story is that the footprint keeps growing on its own. Every time AMETEK buys another small specialty manufacturer, there's a decent chance that company is already an Epicor shop, because Epicor is exactly the kind of software those companies use. So AMETEK doesn't really have to do anything. They just keep buying companies, and Epicor keeps quietly showing up inside the building.

Cleveland-Cliffs

Steel & Automotive Parts · Cleveland, OH · Epicor

Cleveland-Cliffs is the largest steel company in North America. They mine iron ore in Minnesota and Michigan, turn it into pellets, melt it down into steel at huge integrated mills, and roll it into the flat sheets that end up in cars, appliances, and construction. About 25,000 employees, around 20 billion dollars a year in revenue.

The interesting piece for this story is what happens to that steel after it leaves the mill. A big chunk of it goes to Cleveland-Cliffs' own Tooling and Stamping division, which takes those steel sheets and stamps them into the actual parts that get bolted onto cars. Door panels, frame components, structural pieces, the kind of stuff every automaker on the continent is buying by the truckload. The system that runs those stamping plants is Epicor.

Specifically, they're using a version of Epicor called CMS that's purpose-built for automotive parts manufacturers. The reason that matters is that selling parts to Ford or GM or Stellantis isn't like selling to a normal customer. The automakers send out daily release schedules through electronic data feeds, and the suppliers have to respond with shipment notices, barcoded labels, and detailed cost reports on a precise schedule. Miss a release and you can shut down an entire assembly line. Epicor CMS handles all of that automotive-specific work in one system, which is why so many auto parts plants run on it.

You can see the system showing up across the division in the day-to-day work. At the hot stamping facility in Tennessee, the site controller uses Epicor to track production costs job by job, run the standard cost system that figures out how much it really costs to stamp each part, and close the books at the end of every month. Up in Windsor, Ontario, the accounts receivable team uses Epicor to invoice customers, monitor aging reports, apply incoming payments, and chase down past-due accounts. Same software, two countries, different sides of the business.

So while most people think of Cleveland-Cliffs as a steel company, the part of the business closest to the cars in your driveway is running on Epicor.

Dynacast

Precision Die-Casting · Charlotte, NC · Epicor

Dynacast is one of the largest precision die-casting companies in the world, with 80+ years of history and 21 manufacturing facilities across 16 countries. Form Technologies owns them, a billion-dollar metal-components roll-up headquartered in Charlotte. The other Form companies do investment casting and metal injection molding, but Dynacast is the die-casting business.

The way die-casting works is pretty simple: melt some metal, squirt it into a mold, let it cool, pop out a finished part. Dynacast does this with tiny, precise pieces of zinc and aluminum, the small metal bits hidden inside the things you use every day. The connector on your phone charger, the gears inside a power drill, the buckle on your car's seatbelt.

Epicor runs Dynacast's plants. The accounting team pushes every customer invoice through Epicor onto the general ledger. They post every dollar of incoming cash to the right account in Epicor. They pull aging reports out of Epicor to drive their collections work, and the system sends out the weekly cycle of statements and payment reminders to customers behind on their bills.

Epicor is the backbone for the rest of the finance work too. Once a year, the engineering and production teams sit down inside Epicor to update standard costs and figure out exactly how much it costs to die-cast each individual part. When a manufacturing variance pops up, a job that took longer than expected or used more metal than it should have, the controllers run the analysis in Epicor. They close the books each month in Epicor, then push the numbers up into a separate tool called OneStream that consolidates results for the parent company.

For a company that turns liquid metal into the small, precise parts hidden inside everyday products, Epicor is the system tracking every cost, every order, and every shipment.

VulcanForms

Metal 3D Printing · Devens, MA · Epicor Kinetic

VulcanForms came out of MIT in 2015 with the world's first industrially scalable laser metal 3D printing system. Their customers are defense contractors, medical device companies, and aerospace primes - buyers who need precision parts and don't mess around about quality.

They run two facilities. The Devens, Massachusetts plant is where the 3D printing happens, with racks of laser printers melting metal powder one thin layer at a time to build parts that would be impossible to machine any other way. An hour south in Newburyport, they own Arwood Machine, a 60-year-old precision machine shop they acquired to handle the traditional CNC work that turns a printed part into a finished aerospace component.

Epicor connects all of it. They run Epicor Kinetic, the cloud-native version, with bolted-on extensions like DocStar for document management. They have a dedicated senior technical analyst whose entire job is making Epicor work better - building custom dashboards, writing C# customizations, designing reports, integrating new modules as the business grows.

Across both plants, Epicor handles the day-to-day. Out on the floor, manufacturing specialists running the printers and machine tools document their work in Epicor at every step, and that data flows straight to the production planners who use it to schedule which parts go on which machines and to chase down material shortages before they cause a delay.

The warehouse team feeds the same system from the other end, tracking every piece of metal powder coming in and every finished part going out, with serial numbers attached to each one - a non-negotiable for aerospace and medical customers who need to trace exactly which batch of titanium ended up in which jet engine bracket. All of that activity rolls up into the financials at month-end, when the accounting manager closes the books in Epicor.

For a company building literal next-generation manufacturing infrastructure, the system holding it all together is Epicor.

Trystar

Power Distribution Equipment · Faribault, MN · Epicor

Trystar makes the power distribution equipment that connects the electrical grid to large facilities like data centers, hospitals, utilities, and construction sites. They're headquartered in Faribault, Minnesota, where their plant runs partly on its own solar and wind microgrid. About 500 employees spread across plants in Faribault, Troy MI, Houston TX, Murfreesboro TN, Waukesha WI, Loveland CO, Merrimack NH, and Montreal.

The data center angle is the interesting one. Hyperscalers and AI companies are building out compute infrastructure at a frantic pace. Somebody has to make the switchgear, busways, transformers, and portable power distribution boxes that move electricity from the grid into all those server racks. A lot of that gear comes from Trystar.

Epicor runs the show at every plant. The depth of usage is what stands out. The system isn't just for the back office. It's on the shop floor in everyone's hands. An assembler building a power distribution box pulls up the job order in Epicor and enters the production report back in when the box is done. From there, the box moves down to the powder coat painter, who pulls up the same job to log paint time and scrap.

The same workflow plays out across the heavier equipment. Over at the Troy, Michigan plant, which Trystar acquired as Controlled Power Company, the brake press operators bending sheet metal log every job in Epicor as it comes off the press. Coil winders downstream pick those parts up and continue the trail in the same system as they wind the wire that goes into transformers. Material handlers chase Epicor signals between all of these workstations to keep the next batch of parts staged and ready.

Sitting on top of all that floor activity are the production supervisors and material coordinators. They use Epicor to schedule work, track inventory accuracy, and spot trouble before it cascades. A customer order comes in for a portable power distribution box headed to a data center. Epicor is what coordinates the dozens of components, dozens of production steps, and dozens of people across multiple plants needed to actually build it and ship it.

For a company that makes the unsexy electrical gear quietly powering the AI boom, Epicor is the system holding the whole operation together.

Gibraltar Industries

Manufacturing Holding Company · Buffalo, NY · Epicor Kinetic

Gibraltar Industries is a publicly traded holding company (Nasdaq: ROCK) that owns a handful of manufacturing businesses serving very different markets. Two of them run on Epicor and tell an interesting story about how the same ERP system can power completely different kinds of factories.

The first is Terrasmart, the largest piece of Gibraltar's renewable energy portfolio. They make the steel racking systems that hold solar panels on utility-scale solar farms and commercial roofs, with their main fabrication plant in Cincinnati. The second is Prospiant, also based in Cincinnati, which builds commercial greenhouses for growers of fruit, vegetables, and cannabis.

Both run Epicor as the backbone, and the investment is serious. Terrasmart has a dedicated software engineer whose entire job is building Epicor solutions, plus an IT systems analyst doing Epicor Kinetic work on top of that. They're treating Epicor as a platform they actively engineer against.

The Terrasmart use case is what makes this unusual. Their project managers run massive solar farm construction projects, twenty at a time, and manage the entire financial side directly in Epicor. Cost adjustments get reflected in Epicor for P&L. Forecasts run through it. The same system tracking steel inventory in the Cincinnati yard is also tracking cost overrun risk on a solar farm being built in West Texas.

Over at Prospiant, the use is more traditional but just as deep. Welders and production associates clock into Epicor for every job, shipping and receiving runs through it, and the designers building 3D parametric models of greenhouses in AutoDesk Inventor and Revit push their bills of materials straight into Epicor for the supply chain team.

Two completely different products coming out of the same parent company. Solar racking on one side, commercial greenhouses on the other. Renewable power on one side, food production on the other. The system tying both operations together is Epicor.

Standex International

Industrial Conglomerate · Salem, NH · Epicor

Standex International is a publicly traded industrial conglomerate on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker SXI) that runs a portfolio of specialty manufacturers. Their Engineering Technologies Group is the metal forming side of the business, and it runs on Epicor.

The group is really a collection of aerospace and defense fabrication shops Standex has acquired over the years. The biggest piece is Spincraft, a hundred-year-old metal spinning shop that makes rocket nozzles, satellite components, and pressure vessels by rotating flat metal disks at high speed and pressing them against molds. Another piece is McStarlite, which makes complex sheet metal components for commercial and military aircraft.

The depth of Epicor across these plants is what stands out. At McStarlite, the press shop workers who lubricate and wash sheet metal parts before they go into the press clock in and out of every individual job in Epicor. That's about as granular as it gets. Up the chain at Spincraft, the senior engineers running new product introductions for rocket and satellite parts enter their bills of materials, routings, and tool drawings into Epicor, and that data flows down to the shop floor and drives the day-to-day work.

At corporate headquarters, the accounting team consolidates the financials from all these plants. Standex grew by acquisition, so different divisions run different ERPs, with Epicor being the dominant one in the metal forming side. All of it eventually rolls up into OneStream for the consolidated financial statements Standex files with the SEC.

For an industrial conglomerate stitching together a portfolio of legacy aerospace machine shops, Epicor is the manufacturing backbone holding the whole metal forming side together.
