People-centric AI-powered ERP

Epicor Prism simplifies how your team interacts with ERP by using natural language processing (NLP), so users can ask questions and access data using everyday language – no technical skills required. Role-aware and embedded directly into Epicor Kinetic’s day-to-day processes and workflows ‘virtual agents’ assist with tasks, such as answering help questions, analysing graphs and charts, retrieving data, allowing users to save time and improve efficiency by accessing information quickly and easily.

Prism AI can also help reduce the learning curve and accelerate time to value with Kinetic ERP.

From data entry to process management, AI integrates seamlessly, reducing manual intervention, and human error ensuring data accuracy and integrity, whilst accelerating operations. Use it as a code assistant to quickly build automated business processes, or tap into conversational ERP to access production, purchasing, and logistics insights instantly – no digging through files required. Prism can even automate supplier communications, sending RFQs, parsing quotes, and identifying the best pricing and lead times to keep your supply chain moving efficiently.

Reports, insights, and actions are just a question away, and thanks to built-in machine learning, Prism continually improves its predictions and recommendations, delivering smarter results the more you use it.
