The Future of AI in Distribution: The Epicor Vision for Cognitive ERP
Date & Time
Thursday, May 21, 2026, 9:00 AM - 9:50 AM
Description

Artificial intelligence is rapidly shifting from experimentation to expectation in distribution. As demand volatility increases, margins tighten, inventory complexity grows, and labor pressures persist, distributors need systems that do more than track transactions. They need ERP solutions that actively assist in decisions, execution, and optimization.

In this session, we’ll share Epicor’s evolving vision for AI in distribution and how we see intelligence becoming foundational to the future of ERP. We’ll explore how Agentic AI and machine learning can move ERP beyond passive insights toward intelligent, action-oriented assistance embedded directly within everyday workflows—from inventory and pricing to fulfillment and customer service. We’ll also highlight a recent example where AI accelerated an ERP migration in less than two weeks, demonstrating the tangible operational impact intelligent technology can deliver today—and the broader potential it holds for the future.
