Goldacres Selects Epicor Manufacturing Solution
Australia-Based Agricultural Sprayer Manufacturer Gears Up for International Growth With Epicor

IRVINE, Calif., May 9 - Epicor Software Corporation (Nasdaq: EPIC - News), a leading provider of integrated enterprise software solutions for the midmarket, today announced that Goldacres, an Australian owned and operated world-class agricultural sprayer manufacturer, has selected Epicor® Vantage®, a complete end-to-end manufacturing system that addresses the core business needs of make-to-order (MTO) and mixed-mode manufacturers.

Experiencing rapid growth due to increasing demand for its products and services both in Australia and overseas, Goldacres required an integrated ERP system to better manage its workload production systems and provide its head office in Victoria with greater control of its production facilities, including the company's recently opened custom made factory in Ballarat.

Vantage will replace a number of non-integrated stand-alone systems across quoting and estimating, planning and scheduling, production, purchasing, financials and management reporting.

"From a planning and control perspective, Vantage will now provide all parts of the business, including our network of resellers, with access to the same information, enabling our purchasing requirements to be fully synchronized with our production requirements ensuring more timely delivery to our customers," said Vic Muller, Goldacres General Manager. "We chose Vantage because it is ideally suited to equipment manufacturers and we are convinced it will support our business for years to come."
