Xorosoft vs Epicor: ERP for Modern Operators vs ERP for IT-Heavy Enterprises
Epicor has been around for decades. It’s powerful—especially for traditional manufacturers and distributors with IT teams.
But for ecommerce-first, multichannel brands managing Shopify, Amazon, warehouses, and finance in real time?
Epicor is too slow, too rigid, and too expensive.
Xorosoft offers a modern alternative.
Cloud-native ERP with WMS, manufacturing, forecasting, ecommerce integrations, and built-in financials—delivered in under 90 days, without an army of consultants.

Why Xorosoft Wins for Omnichannel Commerce & Fast-Growth Ops
