ACell, a regenerative medicine manufacturer with 350 employees, replaced manual paper processes and QuickBooks with Epicor Express in a three-month SaaS deployment. After one year the company migrated to on-premises Epicor ERP to eliminate double entry, integrate a third-party sales order system via Service Connect, and gain real-time inventory data. The phased rollout used the Epicor ICE Framework for minimal customization and prepared the foundation for future MES module implementation.
