The company has been helping to address challenges related to cost control as well as planning scheduling through its innovative solutions in the area of enterprise resource planning and supply chain management systems.
The company has developed strong partnership ties with local associations and education institutions such as KADIN, PIDI 4.0 and PT Bigi Multi International (Prismatech). President University, Maranatha University among others, are Epicor’s university partners, whereby Epicor provides its software to the universities, and they have leveraged on Epicor’s solutions in their curriculum and Lab for students to learn and practice on Epicor software.
“We see Indonesia’s transition into a digital manufacturing powerhouse not only as an opportunity but as a necessity for sustainable long-term growth,” said Vincent Tang, Epicor Vice President, Asia. “Our goal is to equip Indonesian manufacturers with the technologies, tools, and workforce development needed to thrive in this new era of AI-powered innovation and efficiency.”
