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 Australian
company One Group Retail Experience (One Group) has selected the
award winning Epicor 9 next-generation enterprise resource planning
(ERP) solution to support its thriving retail fit-out and
manufacturing business throughout Australia.
One Group works closely with some of Australia's largest and
most dynamic retailers including Specsavers, The Just Group,
Sportsgirl, The Lew Group, Telstra and Bankwest to create
innovative and effective retail fit-outs and solutions, both in
Australia and overseas. Headquartered in Melbourne with
approximately 300 employees, One Group also operates two
retail-manufacturing facilities located on the east and west coast
of Australia. One Group's extensive knowledge of the retail
industry and innovative business approach focusing on R&D,
prototyping and value engineering, sets it apart from
competitors.
Formerly comprised of four businesses -- Australasian Retail
Projects, JRB Shopfitting, Focus Shopfitters, and FINN -- One Group
has grown to become Australia's largest retail fit-out group.
Following the company's merger, One Group recognized an inherent
need to streamline and consolidate all business and IT processes
across its four distinct business units. The company required a
centralized ERP platform with the flexibility and strength to
provide a single point of accountability for all key business
systems including: financials, CRM, project and inventory
management, among others.
Following an extensive tender and evaluation process, which saw
the company review eight competing ERP systems in the market, One
Group selected Epicor largely due to the full portfolio of business
software solutions it offered, which will provide the scalability
and flexibility it needs to meet key business challenges and
opportunities.
Commenting on the deal, Ian Gamble, CEO, One Group, said,
"Epicor was selected for a number of reasons. Not only does it
share a similar business culture to our own through its focus on
innovation and world-class service; the centralised nature of
Epicor's ERP system and the cutting-edge technology on which it is
based, means we can now have one point of truth across all business
processes."
Craig Charlton, senior vice president of Asia Pacific operations
for Epicor, said, "It is very encouraging to see leading Australian
companies such as One Group reaping the benefits of Epicor's
world-class integrated ERP software. We are confident that the
flexibility and breadth of the Epicor platform will support One
Group with its continued growth and ongoing success."
