Epicor Adds ICE Business Architecture to Prophet 21

P-21 users to benefit from enhanced mobility, accessibility and interactivity.


Epicor Software Corporation today announced the availability of the Epicor ICE business architecture for the Epicor Prophet 21 wholesale distribution enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.

Epicor ICE is a modern and visionary technology developed by Epicor that enables Prophet 21 users with enhanced levels of mobility, accessibility, and interactivity among business applications.

Epicor ICE acts as a connector and an application builder, providing distributors with access to the latest applications and technical capabilities while still taking advantage of Prophet 21's industry-leading distribution functionality.

“Epicor ICE brings some amazing capabilities to Prophet 21,” said Erik Johnson, vice president, technical strategy for Epicor. “With Epicor ICE, distributors can work when, where, and how they want to work— field sales representatives can manage opportunities from their smartphone, executives can analyze financial data using spreadsheets, and anyone can find data in Prophet 21 through a search engine — all without ever having to sign in to the Prophet 21 application.”

Epicor ICE features and functions include:

  • Enterprise Search—a search engine that brings the personal Internet experience to the workplace, providing remote employees with access to all Prophet 21 data from one simple search field
  • Dashboards—an application that allows distributors to easily push out updateable dashboards of user-specific information from Prophet 21 to mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or any Web browser-enabled device
  • Business Activity Queries—a tool that enables point-and-click access to the data tables in Prophet 21 for the purpose of mapping data to other applications with drag-and-drop simplicity.

“Distributors can now extend the benefits of Prophet 21 to the entire organization, even to those people who don't typically work directly with ERP systems today,” said Kevin Roach, executive vice president and general manager, ERP Americas for Epicor. “When more employees are collaborating around your business data because they have easier access to it, you become a more informed, efficient, and innovative company. With Epicor ICE, data becomes much more relevant because information is in a view specific to the employees’ needs. They can stop making decisions based on insufficient data, and your company can work smarter and faster.”

Current Prophet 21 customers may contact their Epicor customer account manager to discuss specific hardware and software requirements for Epicor ICE. All others, please call 1.800.776.7438 to speak with an Epicor solutions specialist, or email info@epicor.com.
