Avion Technology Implements Epicor Kinetic the Way Manufacturers Actually Run
Epicor Kinetic gives manufacturers a modern, web-based ERP purpose-built for production — but the platform’s depth is exactly why a generic implementation falls short. A poorly configured BOM structure, an under-built BAQ layer, or shop floor workflows left at default settings will cost you accuracy and adoption for years.
We configure Kinetic for the shop floor, not just the back office. Item structure, production workflows, BAQs, and MES integration — built around how your plant actually runs, by people who configure the system, not just manage the contract.
