“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.”

Empowering Frontline Teams with Precision Execution

By integrating Acadia’s technology, Epicor will enable its customers to provide frontline employees with the tools they need to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. Workers will gain access to real-time data, digital work instructions, and task management tools, driving performance improvements throughout the organization.

Real-Time Insights for Smarter Decision-Making

Acadia’s platform integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, offering businesses the ability to combine workforce performance data with operational metrics dynamically. This empowers organizations to monitor and optimize processes, delivering actionable insights that enhance productivity in real time.

Promoting Skills Development and Workforce Growth

A key feature of Acadia’s solution is its focus on skills management and development. It provides tools that help employees adopt new technologies, learn updated processes, and master equipment efficiently. This approach supports employee growth, career progression, and long-term engagement within the organization.

Driving Continuous Improvement for Sustainable Growth

Aligned with Epicor’s commitment to helping businesses optimize operations and achieve sustainable growth, Acadia’s solutions empower workers to identify inefficiencies and suggest improvements. The platform promotes the execution of tasks following industry best practices, enabling continuous improvement across all levels of operations.

“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 better.”
