Epicor signed an international channel distribution deal with epic ERP, to accelerate business growth and meet demand across Africa. The partnership is expected to double the current reseller base in the first eighteen months. epic ERP will take full responsibility for recruiting, supporting, managing, marketing, invoicing and training resellers across Africa.
Sabby Gill, executive vice president international at Epicor Software said “To make an impact on the African market takes investment and infrastructure. By partnering and working with epic ERP as a distributor we increase our footprint and are able to penetrate larger organisations. This is a new business model for Epicor and it enables us to have a substantial team on the ground to promote further international growth.”
Commenting on the distribution tie-up with Epicor, the managing partner for epic ERP, Daneel van Eck said “Epicor ERP is a great fit for growing midmarket companies in Southern Africa and this presents enormous opportunity for growth. It would not be possible for the current number of resellers in the territory to properly support the envisaged growth of Epicor ERP. We see most of the growth primarily in South Africa over the next twelve months and then expanding rapidly to take advantage of the increasing maturity in the rest of Africa.
He further added, “We view Epicor as a very competitive solution, being able to use its modern architecture has enabled our customers to take ownership of their systems and prepare for challenges ahead, such as digital transformation and Industry 4.0. Our vision is to enable our customers to grow business, not software. This allows us to be involved in higher value activities.”
