Scottish Public Pensions Agency replaced fragmented spreadsheets and dual systems with Epicor 9 ERP and Service Connect to manage £1.5bn in annual employer pension contributions. The solution automated invoice creation, data validation, bank interfaces, and overpayment recovery while providing full audit trails and real-time reporting. Staff were redeployed from data entry to exception handling and employer support, improving governance and compliance.
