Decision Intelligence for Epicor

Purpose-built AI for Epicor

Epicor records every transaction your business makes. But when inventory jumps or margin slips, explaining why still takes queries, exports and days of someone’s time. eyko tells you what changed, why it changed and what to do about it, straight from your Epicor data.

The problem

Your ERP records every transaction. It doesn’t explain any of them.

The blind spot

Reports track what someone decided was worth tracking. The problems that cost the most are the ones nobody thought to chart: inventory building in the wrong warehouse, parts nobody has used in years still on reorder, margin leaking on a product group nobody reviews.

The Epicor reality

Thousands of tables, data shaped by years of upgrades, acquisitions and custom fields, and a short list of people who know how to write the query. Any question the standard reports don’t answer goes into a queue, and every team ends up reading the numbers differently.

The delay

Someone spots that inventory is up. They export to a spreadsheet, schedule a meeting, ask an analyst and wait. By the time anyone can explain why the number moved, the chance to do something about it has often passed.

Your parts data

Know what’s really in your part master

Most Epicor customers carry far more parts than they use. eyko shows what is active, what is dormant, what is duplicated and what still holds cash, which matters every month and matters most before an upgrade or a move to cloud.

Questions eyko answers

Not just Epicor

You don’t run your business on Epicor alone. eyko brings your Epicor data together with the systems around it, such as Salesforce, HubSpot and the spreadsheets your teams rely on, with no data warehouse and no integration project. Questions you can answer in minutes, not weeks:

  • How do our Epicor sales orders map to opportunities in Salesforce?
  • Which customers with open quotes also have overdue invoices?
  • How does forecast demand compare with the inventory we already hold?
eyko reads across Epicor and the systems around it as one analytical surface

Your existing reports and dashboards keep working. eyko adds why the number moved and what to do next.
