Permastore, a UK manufacturer of bolted modular tanks and silos, upgraded from Epicor Vantage to Epicor ERP to remove technology limits and enable integration with production equipment. The project used a clean deployment approach and the Epicor Data Management Tool to migrate over 160,000 data items in 2-3 weeks instead of 2-3 months. The upgrade also allowed revision of 13 configurators and implementation of BPM rules for work-in-progress visibility without modifying base code.

Key takeaways

Clean deployment with data migration reduced upgrade timeline from 2-3 months to 2-3 weeks using Epicor DMT.

Over 160,000 data records migrated across 40 DMT imports with error capture and granular control.

BPM engine enabled process rules for production visibility without code-level modifications.

Internal team revised 13 configurators to leverage new interface and features.

Platform supports future growth and integration with plant machinery such as RFID.
