About The Customer
EPC Power is the largest energy storage inverter manufacturer in North America. The company, which has operations in California and Finland, is expanding to South Carolina, more than doubling its production space. EPC Power's products are brand-labeled by major corporations, and larger manufacturers, including Lockheed Martin, use their products in their own manufacturing processes. As a rapidly growing company, EPC Power needed a robust and efficient ERP system to manage its expanding operations and ensure optimal performance.
The Challenge
EPC Power, North America’s largest energy storage inverter manufacturer, was facing significant challenges with its existing ERP system, Odoo. As the company was preparing to open a third manufacturing plant, it became increasingly clear that they needed a more advanced solution that could effectively manage their expanding operations. Odoo was proving to be a bottleneck for EPC Power due to its limited capabilities and slow processing speed. The system lacked front-end configurators, accounting traceability, and after-sales service, which were critical for the company's operations. Employees often had to wait for 20 to 30 minutes for something to load in Odoo, which was not only inefficient but also detrimental to employee morale.
The Solution
In search of a more efficient and capable ERP system, EPC Power evaluated several well-known ERP systems. They eventually chose OptiProERP after being impressed by a deep dive demo that demonstrated the functionality of each module. OptiProERP offered a streamlined system without any intermittent steps, which was a significant improvement over Odoo. The new system allowed EPC Power to completely define their processes and generate the necessary reports with well-formatted data. Additionally, OptiProERP provided automation across the organization and a product configurator module. This module enabled EPC Power to customize products, automate BOMs, and generate work orders, thereby enhancing their manufacturing capabilities.
Operational Impact
  • The transition to OptiProERP has brought about significant operational improvements for EPC Power. The new system has not only enhanced the company's manufacturing capabilities but also improved the overall efficiency of their operations. The automation provided by OptiProERP has eliminated unnecessary manual processes, thereby saving time and reducing the likelihood of errors. The product configurator module has enabled EPC Power to customize products according to specific requirements, automate BOMs, and generate work orders, thereby streamlining their manufacturing process. Furthermore, the improved reporting capabilities have allowed EPC Power to make data-driven decisions, thereby enhancing their strategic planning and operational effectiveness.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Improved cost accounting
  • Accurate manufacturing costs
  • Better inventory control
