Epicor Kinetic
Epicor’s manufacturing ERP, rebranded from Epicor ERP, with a browser-based interface and a low-code studio layered on the older E10 architecture. Strongest in discrete and make-to-order plants.
Employee records, time and absence, and the pay run itself. The line to watch is where the vendor's own payroll stops and a local partner takes over, because that boundary tends to fall exactly at the countries you operate in.
Stackmark rates Sage 300’s hr and payroll as moderate: offered by the vendor, with a narrower scope than its core modules.
The tier is read from the vendor’s own documentation, cited below, and says how the module is delivered — not how well it works for a given company. That is what the demonstration questions are for.
In which countries do you run payroll yourselves rather than through a partner, and who owns statutory filing in each case?
How does the payroll posting reach the general ledger — one summary journal, or costed down to department, project and cost centre?
How are statutory changes such as new rate tables or filing formats delivered, and are they included or chargeable?
Can an employee sit in one legal entity and be costed to another, and does that raise an intercompany charge automatically?
Other profiled systems whose records rate hr and payroll as core. Alphabetical; a listing is a documented fact, not a recommendation.
