Led by CEO Steve Murphy, Epicor Software equips businesses with enterprise solutions that keep the world turning. For more than 50 years, the company has served customers in the automotive, building supply, distribution, manufacturing, and retail industries. By sourcing data directly from parts suppliers and converting it into Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard (ACES) and Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES) format, Epicor streamlines the process and accelerates the integration of compliant vehicle application and product data into the company’s next-generation Epicor Catalog. This helps customers maximize sales and revenue, drive efficiency, and enable effective collaboration with various aftermarket channels. Additional benefits include:
- Drive revenue with faster, compliant parts content: Parts suppliers will be able to partner directly with Epicor to map their data into ACES and PIES-compliant product content and seamlessly integrate it with the premier industry Epicor Catalog and other marketplaces. Time to market is critical for sales, and Epicor accelerates revenue.
- Automate the digital asset management lifecycle: From production to sales and support, parts manufacturers will be able to transform data into rich digital content that sells more parts, reduces return costs, and increases sales revenue.
