Global Manufacturer of Biological Products Selects Epicor(R) to Support Growing Product Line and Expansion Requirements

Marketwired
Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that Novus
Biologicals, a leading manufacturer of high-quality biological
products used to facilitate and accelerate scientific research in
the bioscience community, has selected the Epicor 9 next-generation
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution. Epicor provides Novus
Biologicals with powerful functionality that will help facilitate
future profitable business growth.
Headquartered in Littleton, Colorado with operations in
Cambridge, UK, Novus Biologicals carries more than 170,000 products
and makes them widely available to bioscience researchers around
the world. Prior to selecting Epicor, Novus Biologicals relied on a
legacy information system; however, the company reached a point
where they were becoming inefficient in their daily work processes,
necessitating the hiring of additional employees to handle the
double-entry work required to synchronize information in the
system. Epicor ERP was selected to deliver seamless front-to-back
office integration so information entered anywhere can be available
everywhere -- providing Novus Biologicals with the single system of
record they required to achieve enterprise-wide visibility of their
customers, products and services worldwide.
"Selecting Epicor's highly scalable and flexible ERP solution
was critical to supporting our expansion plans and consolidation
strategies," said Scott Osgood, vice president of IT for Novus
Biologicals. "As a result of our substantial product line growth,
Novus Biologicals is expanding into new markets and geographies
prompting us to invest in a modern enterprise-class system that can
support our global business requirements. Epicor will automate
tasks, streamline business processes and synchronize backend
operations allowing us to focus on strategic activities that will
help us facilitate profitable growth."
With Novus Biologicals' product line rapidly growing into
international markets, staying on top of business became unbearable
with their old system. "The opening of our UK office was the
tipping point which led us to search for a global business
management solution," added Osgood. Epicor's global ERP platform
provides them with multi-country, currency, and language support,
as well as multisite management tools that will centralize,
streamline and automate financial processes.
Further, Novus Biologicals expects to decrease inventory
carrying costs due to better planning, scheduling and tracking
capabilities with Epicor's extensive range of supply chain
management (SCM) tools. "Understanding the position and
availability of our products throughout the world allows us to
deliver our products and services faster and at a lower cost to our
customers," said Osgood. Additionally, Novus Biologicals is using
Epicor Commerce to integrate their Web site and Epicor ERP system
to improve the quality of customer interactions by managing demand
faster and more efficiently.
"We are excited to provide Novus Biologicals with a flexible
business solution that will scale with the company as they grow now
and in the future," said James Norwood, senior vice president,
worldwide product marketing for Epicor. "Epicor will allow Novus
Biologicals to focus their attention on strategic growth activities
by enabling them to be more efficient in the management of their
business operations and responsive to the needs of their customers
on a global basis."
