Many small and mid-sized manufacturers started on QuickBooks, but growth demands systems that plan, procure, produce, distribute and sell, not just account. This Epicor white paper examines the limitations that can hold a growing manufacturer back. These include the 30-user license cap on enterprise editions, accounting-only visibility, single-transaction history changes, separate files for multi-currency work and reliance on integration partners for industry functionality. It then explains how cloud-based ERP has removed the traditional barriers of costly on-premises deployments. A cost comparison of traditional versus cloud deployment across year one and subsequent years supports the case, alongside benefits such as easy deployment, mobility, security and automated upgrades. It closes with an overview of Epicor Cloud ERP for job shop, make-to-order and mixed-mode manufacturers.
