Epicor Financial Planner transforms financial and operational data through the power of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, such as the ability to predict financial models and uncover insights by aggregating and analyzing data from diverse sources including ERP and Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems. The solution also automates complex tasks to reduce errors and save time in period-end closings, multi-site consolidations, and financial report management and communications.
