Agility and efficiency are paramount. Manufacturers are constantly seeking ways to streamline operations, eliminate manual tasks, and improve productivity. Epicor Automation Studio, a powerful low-code integration platform, is engineered specifically to address these needs—enabling seamless automation and intelligent connectivity across business systems, including Epicor Kinetic.
What Is Epicor Automation Studio?
Epicor Automation Studio is a robust, cloud-native automation tool that empowers both IT teams and non-technical users—also known as citizen developers—to collaborate in building integrations and automating workflows. Designed with ease of use and scalability in mind, the platform allows users to connect Epicor systems with external applications effortlessly, optimizing business processes across departments.
Key Benefits of Epicor Automation Studio for Manufacturing
1. Bridging the IT Gap
In manufacturing organizations, collaboration between operations and IT is essential but often difficult to achieve. Automation Studio bridges this gap by enabling users to act as integrators while maintaining governance through IT oversight. With its user-friendly, low-code/no-code environment, manufacturers can initiate and manage workflow automations without deep technical expertise—freeing IT resources for more strategic initiatives.
The platform is fully cloud-based and serverless, supporting elastic scaling to match business demand. It simplifies access to pre-built connectors and automation “recipes,” allowing for faster deployment and a streamlined user experience.
2. Connecting Epicor to 1,000+ External Apps
Manufacturers today rely on a wide array of software—from ERP and CRM to marketing and legacy systems. Epicor Automation Studio supports over 1,000 external applications, offering robust tools such as:
- APIs for secure, high-performance data integration
- Parsers for extracting information from documents and images
- Scraping technologies for working with web interfaces and older systems
With these capabilities, manufacturers can design custom integrations tailored to department-specific needs—ensuring that every team can maximize the tools they already use. Whether connecting Epicor Kinetic to Salesforce, Mailchimp, or other business-critical platforms, the flexibility of Automation Studio enables full-spectrum app-to-app integration using embedded Epicor connectors, webhooks, and HTTP connections.
3. Leveraging Crowdsourced Artificial Intelligence (AI)
One of the standout features of Automation Studio is its use of machine learning (ML) to optimize automation building. Drawing from a vast repository of over 400,000 shared automation “recipes,” the platform offers AI-driven recommendations based on best practices and historical success patterns.
Each recipe consists of a trigger and one or more actions. By analyzing similar recipes, Automation Studio helps manufacturers make intelligent decisions during the integration process—especially in field mapping between applications—ultimately reducing errors and accelerating deployment.
Pricing and Availability
Epicor Automation Studio is available as a subscription-based add-on to Epicor Kinetic. Pricing is determined by the number of active connections, not the number of automations. For instance, integrating Kinetic with Salesforce and Mailchimp counts as three connections.
This flexible pricing model allows manufacturers to scale integrations as needed without limitations on the number of recipes created. To get accurate pricing and assess your integration needs, contact your customer account manager or reach out to Data V Tech for a personalized consultation.
