Epicor Kinetic at a glance

Epicor develops ERP software aimed largely at manufacturing, distribution and related industries. Its core ERP product, long known as Epicor ERP and now marketed as Epicor Kinetic, brings finance, production management, purchasing, inventory, sales and supply chain processes into one system. For a UAE business that makes or assembles products, runs a workshop, or distributes goods from a warehouse, that combination of shop-floor detail and financial control is usually the reason Epicor appears on the shortlist.

Choosing an ERP for a production environment is rarely only about features. Bills of materials, routings, work orders, costing methods and quality checks have to reflect how your factory actually works, and the finance side has to produce VAT-ready invoices, Corporate Tax records and reliable management reports. A good fit on paper can become a poor fit in practice if the configuration, data and training are not planned properly.

406 Technologies is an independent, vendor-neutral consultancy and your digital transformation partner in the UAE. We help you decide whether Epicor is the right choice compared with other ERP options, then connect you with the right implementation team and people, and stay involved through design, migration, go-live and ongoing support. Our free Requirement Assessment is a good starting point if you are still comparing systems.

Products

  • ERP & Finance

    Epicor Kinetic

    Epicor's ERP product, previously known as Epicor ERP, covering finance, production, supply chain, inventory and distribution. It is typically considered by manufacturers and distributors that need detailed control over production planning, job costing and stock.

    Deployment: Cloud and on-premise

Solutions it serves

Typical business needs it suits

  • Make-to-order and make-to-stock manufacturing

    Businesses that need bills of materials, routings, work orders and production scheduling linked directly to purchasing, stock and costing.

  • Job shops and engineered products

    Workshops and fabricators that quote, build and invoice per job, and need to see the actual cost of labour, materials and subcontracting against each job.

  • Distribution with warehouse complexity

    Distributors managing multiple warehouses, bins, lot or serial tracking and replenishment, where stock accuracy drives customer service and cash flow.

  • Growing mid-sized companies

    Organisations that have outgrown entry-level accounting software and need one system across finance, operations and supply chain as they add sites or entities.

  • Businesses replacing an ageing on-premise ERP

    Companies running an older system that is hard to support, looking to modernise while keeping the production depth their operations depend on.

How we help

  • 01

    Requirement analysis for production and finance

    We map how orders flow from quotation to production, dispatch and invoice, including costing methods, quality steps and approvals, so the Epicor evaluation is based on your real processes rather than a generic demo.

  • 02

    Independent comparison with other ERP options

    We compare Epicor with other manufacturing-capable ERP systems on functional fit, deployment, local support availability, integration needs and total effort, and tell you plainly where another platform may suit you better.

  • 03

    Connecting you with the right implementation team and people

    We help you find implementation consultants and specialists with Epicor experience in manufacturing or distribution, check that the proposed team matches your scope, and act as your single point of contact.

  • 04

    Implementation planning and oversight

    We help you define phases, responsibilities and acceptance criteria, follow the project through design, configuration and testing, and keep decisions documented so scope and timelines stay realistic.

  • 05

    Data migration from legacy systems

    We plan the clean-up and migration of items, bills of materials, customers, suppliers, open orders and opening balances, with reconciliation checks before go-live.

  • 06

    Integrations with the rest of your landscape

    We help scope connections between Epicor and e-commerce, CRM, HR and payroll, banking, shop-floor devices or an e-invoicing service provider, so data moves without re-keying.

  • 07

    Training and user adoption

    We help organise role-based training for planners, storekeepers, buyers, finance and management, with simple process guides so the system is used the way it was designed.

  • 08

    Post-go-live support

    After launch we help you arrange support for fixes, small enhancements, reports and new users, and review whether additional modules or sites should be rolled out next.

UAE considerations

  • VAT on sales, purchases and imports

    Your Epicor configuration should produce tax invoices that meet Federal Tax Authority (FTA) requirements at the 5% standard rate, handle zero-rated and exempt supplies where relevant, and support accurate VAT returns, including imports and reverse charge where they apply to you.

  • Corporate Tax records

    UAE Corporate Tax applies under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022, at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 and 0% up to that threshold. A well-structured chart of accounts, cost centres and entity setup make it easier to prepare the records your advisers need for registration and filing through EmaraTax.

  • E-invoicing readiness

    The UAE is introducing mandatory e-invoicing in phases, with structured invoices exchanged through accredited service providers on a Peppol-based model. Timelines are being announced in phases, so we help you check how Epicor invoice data and integration options can connect with your chosen provider.

  • Multi-entity and free zone structures

    Many UAE groups operate mainland and free zone entities side by side. We help you plan company structures, intercompany transactions and consolidated reporting in Epicor so each entity's tax position stays clear.

  • Confirm the rules with the authorities

    Tax rules and deadlines should be confirmed with the Federal Tax Authority, the Ministry of Finance or your tax advisor. 406 Technologies provides the system side, not tax or legal advice.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Regulations change — confirm current requirements with the relevant UAE authority or your adviser.

Frequently asked questions

Is Epicor Kinetic the same as Epicor ERP?

Epicor Kinetic is the name Epicor now uses for its core ERP product, which many people still call Epicor ERP. When we assess fit, we confirm the current edition, deployment option and modules directly against your requirements.

Is Epicor only for manufacturers?

Manufacturing and distribution are the areas Epicor is best known for, but the decision should be based on your processes. If your business is mainly services, retail or trading without production, we will compare Epicor with options that may fit more naturally.

How much does Epicor cost?

Pricing depends on users, modules and scope, as well as the deployment option and implementation effort. We don't quote licence prices, but we'll help you get a clear quote and understand what it includes.

How long does an Epicor implementation take?

It depends on the number of sites, modules, integrations and the state of your data. A focused rollout can take a few months, while multi-site manufacturing projects take longer. We help you plan realistic phases once the scope is clear.

Can Epicor support UAE VAT and e-invoicing?

Epicor can be configured for VAT invoicing and reporting, and we help you check how it will connect with an accredited e-invoicing service provider as the UAE phases in its requirements. Please confirm the rules that apply to you with the FTA or your tax advisor.

Are you an official Epicor partner?

No. 406 Technologies is an independent, vendor-neutral company. We help you decide whether Epicor is the right fit, connect you with the right implementation team and people, and support you through delivery and beyond.
