Gold Sponsor

Epicor

Epicor is a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software built for manufacturing, distribution, and retail — software that understands how your business actually runs. Epicor's embedded AI is helping manufacturers move ERP from a system of record to a system of action, surfacing insights across scheduling, supply chain risk, workforce onboarding, invoice matching, and predictive maintenance.

Most manufacturers don't need another AI tool — they need better decisions from the ERP and data they already have. Epicor delivers exactly that: invisible, practical AI that gets out of the way and helps your people move faster. Thanks to Epicor for supporting the show.
