FastClose is pleased to announce a partnership with FreeWave Technologies, a leading provider of wireless communication solutions for industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) applications, to offer real-time operational reporting for their Epicor Kinetic Cloud ERP.
Jen Fleming, CFO of FreeWave, elaborates,:
“
We had purchased the Epicor Cloud ERP system and attempted to utilize the recommended spreadsheet solution, but found it unworkable. Consequently, we began exploring alternatives. After discovering positive reviews for FastClose on www.EpiUsers.help, we reached out to them.
They were extremely helpful and promptly spun up an Azure site for us with the FastClose server component preconfigured. All we had to do was enter our Epicor credentials in the connection options, download the PC clients, and we were up and running.
Nick Gomersall, CEO of FastClose, adds:
“
We have replaced several spreadsheet solutions for on-premise customer installations. However, transitioning to the cloud entails significant differences which can cause issue with legacy spreadsheet reporting solutions.
While on-premise solutions may access databases directly, cloud-based solutions rely on Epicor’s published APIs. For this reason, some common spreadsheet reporting products require a replicated database to work, introducing additional complexity. Further, they don’t have access to some areas of Epicor away from the financials at all.
Jen concludes, “We are delighted to have found FastClose. They were tremendously helpful during our free trial, allowing us to experience their functionality firsthand. They also provided invaluable training, enabling us to be self-sufficient. We eagerly anticipate exploring how their other modules can benefit us.”
