Company Overview & Business Challenges
Coren is focused on delivering high-tech engineering solutions to core industries like power, steel, shipping, mining and heavy engineering.
As an growing organization with over four decades in business, their operations revolve around large on-site field operations as well as robotics-oriented industrial automation services.
Coren had implemented Epicor ERP in the past, however, they were found the system overly complex and slow to use. Also, a major concern with Epicor ERP was the additional costs associated with implementing basic functionality. The core system was not able to fully meet their business needs and they would have to incur substantially high costs with additional module implementation.
Lastly, Coren needed a solution which was more scalable and could help them leverage next-generation technology such as AI to gain a competitive edge.
Our business revolves around implementing highly customized engineering solutions.No two projects are the same and we needed an ERP that could be flexible.Epicor was not able to offer the scalability & accessibility that we needed to grow.– Director, Coren
