Kinetic ERP Software
Kinetic ERP software has been the software of choice for many Manufacturing and Distribution based businesses within the United Kingdom.
Small to medium size enterprises (SME’s) make up the majority of UK based Epicor run businesses but there are larger UK based companies that use Epicor too such as WD40, the Red Bull F1 Racing team and the London Electric Vehicle Company.
It doesn’t matter whether your company employs 5 or 500 people, Kinetic ERP has the scalability and pricing structure that can suit all prospective customers from SME’s to large corporations.
Kinetic ERP is a modular based system whereby the core operations and finance based modules will suit most businesses within the SME bracket, additional modules can be chosen on an a la carte basis so you as the customer you can purchase the specific functionality you need without carrying the overhead of a large system.
For example, if your business is project based you can purchase the additional Projects module which has all of the required functionality for the operating, planning and cost accounting of a projects based business. Alternatively if you have an e-commerce side to your business you can purchase additional functionality in Commerce Connect which allows you to connect your Kinetic ERP software to your e-commerce website, allowing customers via your website to create sales orders automatically within your ERP while also giving customers direct access to their quotations, sales orders, shipping notes, invoices and statements.
Kinetic ERP can be deployed as an on premise or cloud based software affording you flexibility and choice. If your business is not ready to step into cloud computing you can be confident that should you wish to make that step in the future you can be supported all of the way without the need for a costly migration.
Although the Kinetic ERP ecosystem can be vast it is important to remember that you only need to purchase and operate your required piece of it. By engaging with Blue Sky ERP we can quickly provide a business assessment and provide an early indication of pricing. Why not start you ERP journey with Blue Sky ERP.
