e-PIC One Enterprise is a web-based ERP application developed by PIC Business Systems, Inc. for manufacturers, fabricators, distributors, suppliers & franchise businesses[1]. It was formerly known as PIC-ULTRA[2].

The application is delivered via a SaaS model running on the LAMP architecture. Major modules include[3]:

  • Quotation / Order Processing
  • Real-Time Inventory Management
  • Unlimited Products and Services
  • Supply Chain Logistics
  • User Definable Security Profiles

This application has a record of replacing several sub-systems at once upon implementation [4]

Development

[edit]

The core business of PIC is development of this application. Customer needs and requests are the primary drivers of development. Once a design is agreed upon, programming tasks move through a dev/qa/live coding sequence across separate web and database servers.

Customer programming requests are solicited during periodic User Group meetings as well as during Implementation.

Implementation

[edit]

The implementation process begins with a series of discovery meetings with the customer. During this time, migration of existing data, software function changes, and departmental buy-in are identified.

Prior to going live, the customer receives "Boot Camp" training, where key customer departmental leaders receive personal, one-on-one training.
