Connecting Epsilon3 to an ERP, like Odoo, allows for complete workflow from creating a Sales Order and sending a Quote in the ERP, to transferring stock and kicking off the manufacturing order in Epsilon3.
Disclaimer: Below is an example of some things you can do connecting an ERP to Epsilon3. We are using Odoo to facilitate this ERP Proof of Concept, but it could be any ERP. While Epsilon3 does not currently offer a native integration with Odoo, its robust API capabilities allow for custom integrations to achieve similar functionality.
Setup routing in the ERP to communicate with Epsilon3.
Create a Manufacturing order in Odoo, and have a corresponding Work Order created in Epsilon3.
Transfer inventory from stock to pre-production location in Odoo, and see that inventory populated in Epsilon3.
Transferring stock linked to a Manufacturing Order Odoo will assign that inventory to the corresponding Work order in Epsilon3.
Complete the work order in Epsilon3, and have the assembled part link back to Odoo.
These capabilities are achieved through Epsilon3's API, which allows for custom integration workflows tailored to specific operational needs.
