However consolidation touches your company, it's changing how ERP decisions get made.

EstesGroup's Brad Feakes joined Karthik Chidambaram for a conversation on the Driven by DCKAP Podcast channel about what that looks like in practice. When a private equity backed company acquires a distributor or manufacturer, the ERP becomes the tool that turns acquired company into "part of the family." How fast that merge happens usually comes down to how similar the two businesses are, not how big either one is.

Learn how AI and BI are starting to converge inside ERP, and what that means for distributors day to day, as well as EstesGroup's focus on Epicor P21 and Kinetic.

Epicor Prophet 21 should do more than pay for itself. It should help you grow. If the system isn't earning its keep, the problem usually isn't the software. It's the setup, the fine-tuning, the integrations, the strategy, the know-how. Our consultants help distributors get Prophet 21 working the way the business runs. And we train your team, so you're not leaning on external resources longer than you need to.

"Fortune favors the bold..." With EstesGroup as your partner, you can identify risks across your entire tech stack and brave new cloud ERP and AI technology without delay, without hesitancy.

The trouble with your team asking AI how to run your business?

They're already doing it.

An AI tool that has never seen your Prophet 21 or Epicor Kinetic data will give your buyer the same inventory advice it gives a shoe store in another state. Worse, whatever your team pastes into a free public chatbot leaves your control the moment they hit enter.

Generic advice flowing in. Company data leaking out. And nobody signed off on either one.

The fix isn't banning AI. It's managed care for both sides of the problem: EstesCare ERP keeps the data inside Prophet 21 and Epicor Kinetic clean and ready to work with AI, while EstesCare IT puts the guardrails around which tools your team uses and what leaves your network.

In 1776, we had farmers, toolmakers, tradespeople, shopkeepers, explorers. People who believed hard work, a handshake, and the right motive meant something.

Two and a half centuries later, we see that same spirit every day in the people we serve at EstesGroup.

Distributors keeping shelves stocked. Manufacturers keeping lines running. Families showing up before sunrise to open the warehouse doors.

Our values at EstesGroup are passion, integrity, respect, and accountability. These values run deep, and they are going strong in America.

These values built this country and, to this day, keep our nation strong.

From our team to yours, Happy Independence Day. Here's to 250 years, and to the people who make things, move things, and keep their word.
