Tired of chasing engineering change requests through emails, spreadsheets, and sticky notes? You’re not alone. In manufacturing, one misplaced revision can snowball into production delays, scrapped materials, and very unhappy customers.
That’s where Epicor Kinetic—supercharged with ECx / ECN Manager Integration—steps in. Developed in partnership with QBuild Software, this integration finally closes the communication gap between your CAD system and your shop floor, ensuring your product data stays accurate, updated, and synchronized across the business.
What’s the Big Deal About ECx / ECN Manager?
Think of it as a translator between your engineers and your ERP.
ECx Manager lets engineering teams initiate, track, and approve Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) directly from familiar design platforms like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or Pro-E—without leaving their workspace.
Each change automatically flows into Epicor Kinetic, where BOMs, parts, and order details are updated in real-time. No more double data entry. No more version confusion. Just smooth, connected change management.
How It Works (Without the Headache)
- Centralized ECN Database: All your change requests, approvals, drawings, and history live in one searchable, auditable space.
- Visual Workflow: Define your own approval paths and automate notifications—because “I didn’t get the email” is no longer an excuse.
- Live Sync with Epicor Kinetic: Every approved change updates the system instantly, from engineering through production.
- Traceability: Every modification is logged, so you always know who did what, when, and why.
Real Business Payoff
- Cut data entry errors and reduce duplicate work by syncing CAD and ERP automatically.
- Speed up approvals and get products to market faster with real-time visibility.
- Boost collaboration between engineering and manufacturing—everyone’s on the same (digital) page.
- Improve quality by ensuring the right revisions reach production, the first time.
