Epicor Kinetic Adds Carbon Cost Rollup Solution
Home » Top stories » Epicor Kinetic Adds Carbon Cost Rollup Solution Epicor, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software, has announced a new addition to its Epicor Kinetic platform. The company revealed the launch of its patent-pending Carbon Cost Rollup solution. This solution is built into Epicor Kinetic, the Epicor Industry ERP Cloud designed for manufacturers. It introduces a new approach to carbon tracking by applying standard cost rollup methods to emissions data. Epicor reported that the feature treats CO2 emissions like currency. This enables manufacturers to calculate their carbon compliance reporting with greater precision. According to Epicor Group Vice President Kerrie Jordan, the idea stemmed from feedback received through the company's Customer Advisory Board. She said the new tool addresses the need for a simplified method of environmental accountability and reporting in the manufacturing sector. Jordan added, 'I am incredibly proud of our team's achievements in building a solution that addresses those needs and empowers organizations to mitigate climate change by prioritizing areas for emissions reduction and addressing their carbon footprint with the same precision and rigor as their financial costs.' The Carbon Cost Rollup process starts at the bill of materials and operations level. It calculates the carbon cost for each component. As the calculation moves upward through the product structure, the total carbon cost becomes clear. This method simplifies the complex process of carbon accounting. It also integrates smoothly with existing cost accounting tools, reducing the need for extensive user training. Epicor also reported that this new solution complements its partnership with Climatiq. In 2024, Epicor announced the integration of Climatiq's carbon footprint calculation API across its portfolio. Helps businesses achieve sustainability goals Supports compliance without affecting profitability With this launch, Epicor aims to support manufacturers in tracking sustainability metrics more effectively. The Carbon Cost Rollup tool strengthens Epicor Kinetic's capabilities in environmental and cost accounting.

Increase employee responsiveness – Accelerate decisions, expertly track quotes and extract important information, such as pricing and terms, and then reformat the data to help easily compare, suggest a reply, or provide other next steps. 'One of the most important metrics for us is on-time delivery. I really think Epicor Prism can increase our responsiveness to customers and get a typical eight-week delivery time down to four weeks. There's probably opportunity for 20% gain in the operation,' said Andy Young, VP Systems and Processes at Olympus Group.
