Epicor Releases iPad App for Distributors

Epicor Software Corp. has released Epicor Mobile Business Analyzer, a new mobile business intelligence offering designed to support executive-level decision making for wholesale distributors.

Built on top of the Epicor Business Analyzer product and made exclusively for the Apple iPad, Epicor Mobile Business Analyzer allows distributors to access key business metrics and proactive alerts from their Epicor Prophet 21 wholesale distribution ERP system in a single, mobile dashboard.

Mobile Business Analyzer summarizes a distribution organization’s key performance indicators such as showing 25 customers by revenue, along with indications if their business with the distributor is trending up or down at any time.

In addition, Mobile Business Analyzer provides dashboard views of sales and order trends over the past 12 months, including average invoice value, average order value, cost of goods sold, booked dollars, profit dollars, sales dollars and profit percent. The dimensions of charts and graphs on the Mobile Business Analyzer screen can also be manually changed to view data by companies, customers, locations, product groups, sales reps, and suppliers.

“Immediate access to business intelligence is becoming the true competitive weapon of distributors,” said Epicor’s vice president, product marketing Malcolm Fox. “With Mobile Business Analyzer, distribution executives are no longer tied to the office for their business intelligence needs. They can have constant visibility into business trends that impact their decision making.”

Mobile Business Analyzer is available as a free download from the Apple App Store to Epicor Business Analyzer users.
