Green Supply Chains Powered by Epicor Kinetic
Sustainability has shifted from being a corporate talking point to a core business requirement. Manufacturers are under increasing pressure from customers, regulators, and investors to prove that their operations are environmentally responsible. The supply chain, often the largest contributor to waste and emissions, is a natural place to start. Epicor Kinetic, with its advanced AI-driven optimization tools, is helping manufacturers turn sustainability goals into measurable results by reducing inefficiencies, cutting emissions, and streamlining operations.
Green supply chains are essential because they not only reduce environmental impact but also build resilience, lower costs, and strengthen brand trust in an increasingly sustainability-driven marketplace
Legacy supply chains are riddled with inefficiencies. Excess inventory leads to wasted materials and inflated storage costs. Logistics networks often rely on outdated routes, which increases fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Compliance tracking is frequently manual and slow, leaving companies vulnerable to reporting errors and regulatory penalties. These challenges not only erode profitability but also undermine ESG commitments, making it clear that a smarter, greener approach is needed.
Epicor Kinetic addresses these challenges by embedding agentic AI and cognitive ERP capabilities directly into supply chain workflows. Its predictive demand planning tools help manufacturers forecast with greater accuracy, reducing the risk of overproduction and minimizing waste. Logistics optimization features analyze routes, loads, and schedules to cut fuel usage while ensuring timely deliveries. Integrated carbon accounting tools allow companies to track and report their environmental impact seamlessly, turning sustainability metrics into actionable insights. And through enhanced supplier collaboration—powered by integrations with platforms like SourceDay, manufacturers gain visibility and coordination that reduce delays and material waste.
The results are tangible. Companies using Epicor Kinetic have seen emissions drop thanks to smarter transportation planning. Material waste is reduced through precise demand forecasting, while compliance processes are streamlined with AI-powered reporting. These improvements not only support sustainability goals but also deliver competitive advantages, proving that environmental responsibility and profitability can go hand in hand.
