Marquis IQ connects to both Epicor Kinetic and the legacy Epicor ERP v9, extracting clean data from whichever generation your portfolio runs, and delivering industry analytics that BAQs and SSRS reports can't.
Epicor's Business Activity Queries and SSRS reports are operational tools, what shipped, what was invoiced, what's open. They're powerful for day-to-day queries but they're not analytics platforms. Cross-site trend analysis, ABCXYZ segmentation, Price-Volume-Mix attribution, and the kind of board-level reporting PE owners expect require a layer on top of Epicor's data, not better Epicor reports.
For portfolios running both Epicor Kinetic and the older ERP v9, the complexity doubles, two different connection methods, two different schemas, two separate exports to reconcile before you can answer the simplest portfolio-wide question.
Schema-mapped to the specific version of Epicor, not a generic extract that loses the business context of how that ERP actually stores your manufacturing data.
Epicor's current-generation ERP platform, formerly known as Epicor ERP 10. Marquis connects to Kinetic via the REST API and OData services. Epicor's own published interface, designed for reliable, version-safe data access. The connector handles Kinetic's regular cloud release cadence without downtime or manual intervention.
The legacy Epicor platform still running at thousands of manufacturing sites, built on Progress OpenEdge. Marquis connects directly via ODBC and SQL extraction, with schema knowledge specific to ERP v9's table structure, including the way Epicor stores multi-site, multi-company, and BOM data inside the v9 database model.
Writing a query against an Epicor database is straightforward. Knowing which tables hold the right data, how v9 stores multi-plant costs, or how Kinetic structures its financial dimensions, that's what took years to build.
Epicor gave us the transaction record. Marquis gave us the analysis. We finally stopped asking “where did that number come from” and started asking “what do we do about it.”
