How it works

Your ERP plans the work.
Epifor MES runs it.

Most factories already know what should happen: the ERP holds the orders, the BOMs, the plan. What's missing is what actually happens (on which machine, by whom, in how much time, at what cost). Epifor is that missing layer, and it proves what happened. Here is the loop, end to end.

01
2-way integration

Connect your ERP

Orders in, reality back out. No parallel data entry.

Manufacturing orders flow from your ERP into Epifor automatically
Actual times, quantities and statuses flow back, no re-typing
Works alongside SAP, Odoo, Oracle and other ERP systems
Your ERP stays the system of record; Epifor becomes the system of truth on the floor
02
Your terminology, your numbering, your steps

Model your production, without code

Your real workflow, step by step. No developer required.

Map your process as it runs: cut, weld, assemble, whatever the steps are
Bring in your BOMs, quality checks and the special fields your tracking needs
Configured before go-live by people who know manufacturing, yours to adjust after
03
Operators start day one

Run the shop floor

Scan, start, done. Training takes about 5 minutes.

Every workstation sees its queue: what to run now, what's next, with drawings and instructions attached
Operators scan a barcode, tap start, tap done. That's the whole interface
Epifor coordinates like an experienced production manager: priorities, sequencing, and what's blocking what
04
The number you used to get at month-end

See cost and progress live

Production cost per order while the work is still happening.

Real-time production cost per order, not an estimate reconstructed from Excel weeks later
Bottlenecks, downtime and workstation availability visible while you can still act on them
Dashboards and AI agents handle the reporting legwork, so your team runs production instead of documenting it
05
Audit-ready by default

Keep the proof

Traceability as a by-product of working, not extra paperwork.

Every order carries its full history: who, what, when, how long, on which station
Records that stand up to ISO and customer audits, produced as you work
~12 weeks
First call to go-live

Implementation typically runs about 12 weeks for a focused scope, delivered by our team or a certified Epifor Partner. You can read more on our Implementation page.
