Epicor, a leading provider of industry-focused enterprise software solutions, has acquired Acadia Software, a notable innovator in Connected Worker technologies.
Acadia’s platform empowers frontline employees in manufacturing and supply chain sectors by providing real-time insights and detailed, actionable guidance, helping to streamline operations and improve productivity.
The financial specifics of the deal have not been disclosed.
Acadia’s platform offers a range of benefits that support operational excellence and employee growth. It provides real-time, actionable insights by integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, enabling companies to merge workforce performance data with broader operational metrics.
This approach not only fosters better decision-making but also helps identify opportunities for enhanced efficiency.
Continuous improvement
Additionally, Acadia supports skills management and development, equipping workers with the tools to quickly adopt new processes, software, and equipment. This focus on skill-building contributes to employee growth and career progression.
In line with Epicor’s commitment to operational optimisation and sustainable growth, Acadia promotes continuous improvement by empowering workers to pinpoint inefficiencies, suggest enhancements, and carry out tasks according to established best practices.
“Frontline workers need the digital tools and knowledge necessary to perform their roles efficiently and safely,” said Epicor CEO Steve Murphy. “The acquisition of Acadia furthers Epicor’s commitment to helping businesses across the make, move, and sell industries move beyond simply telling workers what to do, but showing them how to do it effectively to drive stronger productivity and efficiency.”
By integrating Acadia’s capabilities, Epicor customers can empower their frontline teams to execute tasks with precision, providing them with real-time data, digital work instructions, and task management tools that contribute to continuous improvement across their organisations.
“Frontline workers are the backbone of successful companies, and those who can operate independently are more effective, more engaged, and more likely to stay,” said Josh Crone, vice president and chief technology officer at Acadia Software. “Joining Epicor gives us an opportunity to connect even more frontline workers to the tools and know-how they need to work independently, while also providing resources and capabilities to better serve our existing Acadia customers.”
