Epicor has expanded its AI-driven ERP strategy by launching Epicor Prism across the UK and selected European markets. The launch strengthens the company’s vision for Embedded Manufacturing AI within supply chain industries. Moreover, Epicor Prism introduces a portfolio of vertical AI agents designed specifically for manufacturers and distributors.
Integration is embedded within Epicor Kinetic. Hence, people have access to live ERP data and business documents through conversations. You do not need advanced analytics knowledge or separate AI tools. This approach helps you make decisions faster and more easily. The new release is a sign of growing transition from classic ERPs to Cognitive ERPs. This solution allows users to make sense of the information and act accordingly. Thus, organizations can turn their data into valuable results.
European manufacturers still suffer from inefficiency and labor issues. Furthermore, many businesses lack necessary digital literacy skills and experience supply chain problems. Despite the fact that much money is spent on ERPs, turning data into useful insight becomes hard. Andy Coussins, Executive Vice President, International, Epicor, emphasized the importance of practical intelligence within daily workflows.
“Businesses do not just need better data, they need help interpreting it and acting on it in the flow of work,” said Andy Coussins, Executive Vice President, International, Epicor. “Epicor Prism helps close that gap by bringing intelligence directly into everyday workflows and actively guiding people through complex decisions, even if they’re not ERP experts.”
Epicor Prism Strengthens Cognitive ERP Capabilities
Epicor Prism expands the company’s Cognitive ERP strategy through AI-powered capabilities. These tools help users access knowledge, analyze information, automate routine tasks, and take action within ERP workflows. Furthermore, they improve visibility, reduce manual effort, and increase productivity.
It processes data in a secure manner with customer ERP data without compromising governance and security based on roles. Human control exists in all processes. Hence, the use of AI does not eliminate accountability.
The first of such capabilities includes the Epicor Prism Reasoning Agent. It performs data analysis of ERP together with spreadsheets, PDF, and other business documents. Therefore, users get contextual answers rather than standard reports. For instance, it allows identifying production delay and researching overdue orders. Additionally, Epicor created the Epicor Prism Developer for App Studio. This application minimizes the process of customization and testing by 60% on average. Hence, technical staff can perform updates faster.
In contrast to general AI assistants, Epicor Prism takes advantage of data and expertise accumulated for 50 years in specific industries. It combines trusted business information with Embedded Manufacturing AI capabilities tailored to operational workflows.
Arturo Buzzalino, Chief Innovation Officer at Epicor, highlighted the company’s long-term vision.
“Our vision for Cognitive ERP is software that doesn’t just store information, but actively helps people think, decide and act,” said Arturo Buzzalino, Chief Innovation Officer at Epicor. “With Epicor Prism, AI is built into everyday workflows, supporting frontline users with real-time insight while remaining grounded in the realities of their industry and data.”
With more than 18 pre-built AI agents, Epicor Prism continues advancing Embedded Manufacturing AI and helping organizations improve operational performance across Europe.
