Epicor Transportation Management System — full transport operations for manufacturers who deliver.
Epicor's shipping module prints labels. SuiteFleet runs the transport operation: loads, carriers, routes, compliance, synced back to Epicor.

What Epicor Manages, and What It Cannot:
Epicor Kinetic is built for production scheduling, MRP, quality management, and shop floor control with real depth. Its shipping module handles the basics: pack slips, shipping labels, and carrier tracking numbers. For manufacturers running their own delivery fleets or managing multiple carrier relationships, Epicor has no load optimization, no fleet management, no carrier rate comparison, and no real-time shipment visibility.
What Changes When Epicor and SuiteFleet Are Connected:
- Load optimization: finished goods orders consolidate into efficient loads by destination and vehicle capacity instead of shipping individually.
- Mixed-mode transport: own-fleet vehicles and third-party carriers managed side by side, with the best option recommended by cost and capacity.
- Carrier rate comparison: shipments going to external providers get rate-shopped automatically instead of using a single default carrier.
- Real-time tracking: GPS for fleet vehicles and milestone tracking for carrier shipments replace manual tracking number lookups.
- Epicor writeback: freight costs, delivery timestamps, POD signatures, and tracking numbers post back to Epicor automatically.
Epicor prints the pack slip. SuiteFleet runs the transport operation.
Who This Is For:
Manufacturers on Epicor Kinetic or Prophet 21 running their own delivery fleets or managing multiple carrier relationships, including building materials, industrial equipment, and food producers.
Technical Integration Details:
Connects via the Epicor REST API v2. Pack slips, shipment records, and customer delivery data sync automatically when orders are ready for transport, with freight costs and delivery confirmations posting back to Epicor.
How It Works (steps):
- Pack slips and shipment records sync from Epicor Kinetic when orders are ready for transport.
- SuiteFleet builds optimized loads, assigns own fleet or carrier, and dispatches with route optimization.
- Delivery confirmations, freight costs, and proof of delivery post back to Epicor automatically.
