Epicor Vantage ERP vs. Alternatives in 2024

The main competitors for Epicor Vantage are Exact Macola and Plex.

Exact Macola provides an ERP solution to address the needs of manufacturers. The product is based on workflows and includes features for accounting, CRM, as well as document management. Its manufacturing module can handle inventory management & material requirements planning, as well as shop floor control, production orders & scheduling, and manufacturing costing. It also provides business activity monitoring to automatically trigger actions based on a series of defined business events.

In comparison Epicor Vantage provides a similar manufacturing ERP solution, but it is based on a service oriented architecture which allows customers the flexibility to integrate & use only the functionality they need. Additionally along with the core manufacturing features it also provides production planning & data management to improve the production process. Additional features available include sales management & CRM, customer services, as well as supply chain management.

Then there is Plex which is an entirely cloud based solution with support for mobile devices as well. While it includes the main features of Epicor Vantage, the product can also address human resources which Vantage does not include currently. Additionally Plex is workflow based and supports customization to meet specific business process needs, and includes auditing to validate the manufacturing execution cycle to ensure product quality compliance.

Epicor Vantage on the other hand is available as both on premise as well as cloud based solutions. Additionally the product can also handle the distribution side of business which includes receiving and shipping, with project management to handle complex manufacturing requirements.
