Certex, a Sweden-based distributor of lifting equipment with over 7,000 SKUs, replaced its legacy Unix ERP with Epicor to handle complex order configurations and international operations. The bill-of-materials module enabled dynamic component matching without new item creation, while integrated order, invoicing, and accounting functions supported flexible logistics workflows. The system scaled to 150 users with minimal training time and low ongoing support needs.

Key takeaways

Epicor BOM module handles batch and configured products without creating new SKUs per order

Integrated ERP supports order-to-accounting workflows for multi-country distribution

User-friendly interface allowed training of 150 users in under one week

Flexible architecture accommodated complex logistics without heavy customization

Low support dependency after implementation due to system stability
