Taco, Inc. Selects Epicor to Propel Technology Advancement

Epicor Software Corporation, a global leader in business software solutions for manufacturing, distribution, retail and services organizations, recently announced that Taco, Inc., a leading manufacturer of commercial and residential HVAC equipment, has selected the next- generation enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution, Epicor ERP, to support growing operations and technology innovations worldwide.

Established in 1920, Taco, Inc. develops and manufactures hydronic-based components for use in heating and cooling applications across the building spectrum--residential, commercial, industrial and institutional buildings worldwide. Recently, Taco, Inc. acquired a group of companies adding six US and three international offices, for a total of nine locations. Prior to selecting Epicor ERP, Taco, Inc. used a legacy system for the last 17 years that could no longer support increased operations due to a combination of in-house applications and multiple code modifications.

Headquartered in Cranston, Rhode Island, a 50-person project team evaluated seven vendors for the ERP selection process. For operations, the Epicor manufacturing production management component and configurator made Epicor ERP the closest system built that matches the company’s in - house systems for production. The company is looking forward to e-commerce integrations with tablets and portals to enable efficient shipping transactions in the warehouse.

Taco has been running on the Epicor human capital management (HCM) solution for several years and the integration with Epicor ERP will truly save time with an all-in-one system for employees. To learn more about the Epicor ERP integration at Taco, RI, visit the Epicor News Center.
