About Epicor Eclipse
Epicor Eclipse is an enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform designed to help wholesale distribution companies manage their business operations from a central system. The platform supports core business functions such as order management, inventory control, purchasing, financials, and supply chain operations in real time, with tools tailored to distribution‑centric workflows.
Originally developed as Eclipse ERP and later acquired by Epicor Software Corporation, Epicor Eclipse continues to evolve with new releases that introduce enhancements like API support and feature improvements to streamline distribution processes.
Epicor Eclipse is explicitly aimed at wholesale distributors — particularly those in industries such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and PVF (pipe, valve, fitting) supply — where managing complex inventory, pricing, and multi‑branch operations is critical to performance.
Why businesses choose Epicor Eclipse
Epicor Eclipse is selected by businesses that require a distribution‑centric ERP solution built around real‑time workflows and visibility.
It supports:
- Distribution‑focused order management — centralised processing of sales orders and pricing tailored to wholesale distribution needs.
- Inventory and supply chain control — real‑time inventory visibility and forecasting suited for multi‑location distributors.
- Integration and extensibility — API support and extensible architecture that allow connections to third‑party systems and add‑on solutions.
- Integrated eCommerce extension — Epicor Commerce Connect extends Eclipse with cloud‑based B2B and B2C commerce capabilities, tightly integrated with the ERP master data.
- Business intelligence and reporting — built‑in reporting and analytics tools providing operational insight.
These features allow businesses to streamline distribution operations, improve decision‑making with real‑time data, scale processes across multiple branches, and support digital sales channels.

FAQs
There is no single "best" platform, only the one that best fits your business needs, people, and processes. Traditional platform selection focuses on features rather than solving real business challenges. We take a needs-driven approach, ensuring that platform selection is based on how well it aligns with your workflows, goals, and growth strategy, not just on a checklist of features.
Our Platform Selection Service helps businesses like yours evaluate options using a data-driven, structured framework.
Choosing the best platform isn’t just about features; it’s about how well the platform aligns with your business needs, processes, and people. Many businesses fall into the trap of selecting a platform based on a feature checklist without considering how it integrates into their workflows or solves their specific challenges.
Our Platform Selection Service helps businesses evaluate their requirements, assess platform capabilities, and make informed decisions supporting long-term growth and efficiency.
