Top 5 Reasons to Use FastClose Over Other Epicor Reporting Tools

Top 5 reasons for FastClose
  1. No staging

    Unlike other Epicor reporting tools, FastClose runs over your data in real time. No staging, one version of the truth. As the numbers change, what you see in your report changes, there and then. Not just critical at month end but for many other activities, for example getting an accurate view of your stock position.

  2. Pre-built reports

    FastClose ships with pre-built solutions that deliver Epicor reports such as:

    • Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet
    • AR and AP Aging
    • Vendor & Customer exposure, Invoice Days Outstanding
    • Fixed Asset schedules and depreciation
    • How invoices and fixed assets impact different GL nominals
    • Inventory movements and "as of" stock valuation
    • Manufacturing production and write offs
    • Bill of Materials

    — so that you are much closer to what you need from the start.

  3. Excel

    As well as consuming Epicor Reports in the FastClose Designer or Reader, they can also be run and refreshed live in Excel, supporting whatever "what if?" models or management reporting packs you build on top, through our Excel Add-in.

  4. Consolidation

    Every report can be made to span your entire organisation and consolidated to a single, simple view covering all your companies even if they are in different databases and geographies (and yes, still without staging and in real time).

  5. Fast install

    Installs in 15 minutes with a 2 month free trial.

…and if that weren't enough. In our forthcoming 2.4 release due Q1 2022 …

No VPNEpicor API

No VPN required for remote workers thanks to use of the Epicor API. What other Epicor report tools do that? And for cloud customers that also means there is no need for an expensive replication database, meaning that FastClose is probably the only tool that will show Epicor Cloud users their current position, up to the minute.

"With FastClose Epicor reporting tools, we tackle reports we would never have considered possible with our previous toolset!"
