Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use iScala across all departments from order handling to shipping. The ability to create articles with bill of materials is especially useful because we have a lot of products with a great deal of small parts to keep track of. iScala helps us to make sure we have enough parts in stock to meet customer demand.

Pros

It's a fast system to operate.
The database is easy to maintain.
It's easy to customize views.

Cons

The stock control could use a history view.
The integration to other systems can be improved
The ability to work on iPad would be nice

Likelihood to Recommend

Good for
Making quick and accurate proposals to customers. The system make sure the right discount level is applied and the proposal is easily converted to an order by the handler.

Less good at
Distributing on-the-fly information to sales reps outside the office. Maybe it can be solved by an addon but it's nothing we use today.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use iScala as a core application in our organization. Everything is linked to iScala. We manage master data, products, customers, suppliers, purchases, sales, prices, payroll, accounting in iScala.

Pros

Nowadays we have more than 50 different integrations, and iScala Service connect perfect does it.
Possibility of iScala automatization in iSAT brings endless possibilities to make business more and more efficient
With iScala Enterprise Server, it is possible easily manage multiple international companies on one platform.

Cons

I believe that iSAT improvement will bring more benefit to all iScala users
Longer support of the old Scala versions would bring more confidence for big Scala customers, because in big installations it's been very difficult and time-consuming to make version upgrades every 3-4 years.

Likelihood to Recommend

In any B2B business, where complex integrations are required

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Even for a very small business like our (we are Epicor consultants/developers/implementers) using Epicor iScala cuts costs on external accounting services and enables instant access to all necessary data with just about 4 hours spent monthly on entering data.

Pros

Epicor iScala is simple-to-use and robust Microsoft technology based ERP for very wide range of businesses.
One of the stronger parts of the solution is using an industry-standard database that is simultaneously secure and open for queries from any BI tool.
Interface is simple and modern, easy-to-customize while keeping a stable kernel.

Cons

I have used and implemented iScala for 25 years, it has come a long way in terms of the current modern interface, but there is a room for both design and usability improvements.
Most of report forms are quite obsolete and usually are replaced by custom version during implelentation.
Color themes are great, but now we're waiting for theme editor :)

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for middle-size distributor and service provider.
