Epicor CMS ERP
Gap and Needs Analysis Consulting
A number of CMS clients have engaged Datanational Corporation for the purpose of performing a Gap Analysis of their current Epicor CMS software implementation state, operating procedures and data accuracy.
For most manufacturing organizations, our CMS ERP Gap & Needs Analysis focuses on critical operational areas such as MRP accuracy, production planning and scheduling, shop floor and scrap reporting, inventory control, and overall system best practices. The objective is simple: identify inefficiencies, optimize your ERP investment and align your system with your business goals to drive measurable, world-class results.
When Should You Consider a Gap Analysis?
Even a well-implemented ERP system can fall out of alignment over time. Many of our clients seek this service after experiencing:
- Changes in manufacturing processes
- Mergers, acquisitions, or divestitures
- Adoption of new technologies or automation initiatives
- System integration challenges across platforms
- Staff turnover and loss of institutional knowledge
- A need to improve efficiency and resource utilization
- Shifts in business priorities or strategic direction
- Introduction of new product lines with unique requirements
- Transitions between work order-based and repetitive manufacturing models
What to Expect

- Evaluate how your CMS system supports current business processes
- Review system configuration, workflows, and data accuracy
- Interview key personnel across departments
- Identify strengths, gaps, and opportunities for improvement
Deliverables
At the conclusion of the engagement, you’ll receive:
- Gap Analysis Report – A detailed evaluation of your current CMS implementation, including findings across all reviewed areas
- Gap Remediation Roadmap – Actionable recommendations and prioritized steps to close gaps, improve performance, and better align your ERP with business objectives
