Epicor Vantage, a comprehensive solution designed to meet the needs of progressive make-to-order and mixed-mode manufacturing companies, will replace HPA’s aging legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) and financial reporting systems which are unable to meet the growing demands of the business.HPA selected Epicor following a tender process in which six vendors responded. “We felt that Epicor had a better understanding of our business and as they had worked with similar organisations, they seemed totally geared to the needs of a mid-sized services organisation,” said Neil Brener, Chief Operating Officer of HPA.Completely architected from the ground up to support growing market requirements for service-oriented architecture (SOA) environments, Vantage offers organisations automated and robust BPM functionality and enables businesses to leverage best-in-class software services through open industry standards, simplifying application development and integration.“In a low margin, high volume business which is inherently competitive, we required a solution which would provide management with instant visibility into the business, allow us to provide clients with updates on their jobs and gain operational efficiencies to help grow the business,” said Brener.HPA specialises in the effective management of outbound business communication, such as invoices or credit card statements; inbound communication such as insurance claims; and 'on demand' information such as customer transaction records or land titles. It has more than 900 staff in seven linked branches across Australia and the client portfolio include banks, utilities and government departments.The Epicor solution will provide the organisation with a single repository of data which can then effectively measure and monitor the performance of the business. Once up and operational, it will link data in the organisation’s enterprise reporting and planning infrastructure with daily financial data coming across the business enabling the company to maximise equipment use, integrate scheduling, and report on day-to-day performance against negotiated service level agreements. “We are delighted HPA has selected Epicor and our partner, COGITA, as strategic enablers for its growth strategy going forward,” said Charles Hamilton, Regional Director of Epicor Software. “The contract represents one of our largest manufacturing implementations in Australia and is testament to the proven benefits it brings organisations in providing fast process management integration and dashboard visibility.”HPA will commence roll out of the Epicor solution immediately with a planned phased implementation over the next 18 months.
