What is Epicor Eclipse
Epicor Eclipse is a distribution-focused ERP system designed for wholesalers that need integrated order management, purchasing, pricing, inventory control, and warehouse operations. It is commonly used by electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and industrial supply distributors with complex product catalogs and customer-specific pricing. The product emphasizes distribution workflows such as counter sales, inside sales, replenishment, and branch operations, with options to extend into warehouse automation and EDI.
Distribution-specific ERP workflows
Eclipse centers on distributor processes such as quote-to-order, purchasing, customer-specific pricing, rebates, and branch operations. It supports high-volume transaction environments typical of wholesale distribution. This focus can reduce the amount of configuration needed compared with more general-purpose ERP systems when the business model is primarily distribution.
Strong pricing and customer terms
The system supports complex pricing structures, including contract pricing, matrix pricing, and customer-specific terms. It also supports common distributor requirements like credit management and sales order controls. These capabilities help organizations manage margin and customer agreements without relying as heavily on external tools.
Integrated inventory and warehouse operations
Eclipse includes inventory management and warehouse execution capabilities aligned to distributor needs, such as replenishment, picking/packing/shipping workflows, and multi-branch inventory visibility. It supports operational controls that tie inventory movements directly to purchasing and sales processes. This integration helps reduce reconciliation effort between ERP and warehouse processes.
Distribution-first scope
Eclipse is optimized for wholesale distribution rather than mixed-mode businesses with significant manufacturing, advanced project accounting, or complex professional services requirements. Organizations outside core distribution verticals may find gaps that require additional products or customization. This can increase implementation complexity for diversified enterprises.
Implementation and change management effort
ERP deployments for high-volume distribution typically require careful data migration, pricing rule setup, and process redesign. Eclipse’s strength in detailed distribution controls can translate into a larger configuration and testing workload. Companies may need dedicated internal ownership and experienced implementation partners to reach stable operations.
User experience can vary by module
Users often interact with multiple functional areas (sales, purchasing, warehouse, accounting), and the experience can differ across modules and interfaces. Training needs can be significant for roles such as inside sales and counter staff who require speed and consistency. Some organizations supplement with additional tools for reporting or role-specific workflows depending on requirements.
Plan & Pricing
Official Epicor website does not publish public pricing for Epicor Eclipse. The Epicor Eclipse product page directs users to request a demo or contact Epicor for pricing and quotes; no tiered plans, per-user rates, or fixed subscription prices are listed on the vendor site. The Epicor legal/third-party terms page references product components (e.g., "Epicor Eclipse Core") and third-party fees but does not provide public list prices. For exact costs, Epicor requires contacting sales for a custom quote.
