Optima at Epicor Insights 2024: Driving Innovation and Sustainability

At Optima, we pride ourselves on our commitment to innovation and sustainability. Recently, we had chance to demonstrate this loyalty at the prestigious Epicor Insights 2024 conference in Prague, where our Business Systems Analyst, Steve Hare, was asked to speak. The event was hosted by Epicor, a leading provider of enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions, and featured industry leaders from across Europe, who gathered to discuss the latest trends, challenges, and technological advancements across various sectors.

Optima and Epicor: A Partnership for Progress

Epicor has played a crucial role in enhancing our operational efficiency as we have integrated their ERP system into our business processes. Their powerful software manages our finance, order processing, inventory, and manufacturing workflows seamlessly. However, what truly helps to drive our partnership, is our innovative adaptation of Epicor’s capabilities to further our sustainability goals.

Steve Hare highlighted how Optima has leveraged Epicor to calculate CO2e values for our products. By embedding this data into our acknowledgements, our customers receive transparent information about the environmental impact of our products. This initiative not only underscores our commitment to Net Zero but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable practices in manufacturing.
