Why Epicor Users Need Fleet Management

Epicor logo

Epicor Builds the Product. It Does Not Deliver It.

Epicor Kinetic is a manufacturing ERP designed for make-to-order, make-to-stock, and engineer-to-order production environments. It handles job scheduling, material requirements planning, shop floor control, quality management, and warehouse operations. For distribution, Epicor Prophet 21 manages inventory, purchasing, and order fulfillment.

Both products include basic shipping modules for packing, labeling, and generating shipping documents. But neither product tracks delivery vehicles after they leave the facility. There is no GPS tracking, no multi-stop delivery routing, no driver behavior monitoring, and no mobile app for drivers to capture delivery confirmations on site.

Locate2u extends Epicor by managing everything that happens between the shipping dock and the customer receiving area. Shipment records flow from Epicor to Locate2u, routes are optimized, drivers deliver with mobile guidance, and POD data flows back.

The Problem

Pain Points Epicor Users Face Delivering Their Own Products

You Manufactured It Perfectly. Then Lost Track of It.

  • Epicor shipping ends at the dock. Pack slips are printed, goods are loaded, and the truck leaves. From that moment, Epicor has no way to tell you where the truck is, when it will arrive, or if the delivery was successful.
  • No route planning for delivery trucks. Manufacturers delivering to multiple jobsites or customer locations plan routes manually. Without optimization, trucks drive more miles, burn more fuel, and make fewer deliveries per day.
  • Delivery disputes with no proof. When a customer claims a delivery was incomplete or damaged, there is no photo or signature evidence. This leads to costly reships and strained customer relationships.
Manufacturer's Delivery Challenge Custom order manufactured on time Epicor Job: Complete, QC: Passed, Packed: Ready Truck leaves facility at 7:00 AM Where is it now? When will it arrive? No data. Customer calls at 2:00 PM: "Where is my order?" No GPS, no ETA, no delivery confirmation
