Built for Australian and New Zealand manufacturing businesses, our ERP solution helps you streamline operations, improve productivity and make smarter, faster decisions across every stage of the business lifecycle.
Manufacturers across Australia and New Zealand (ANZ) are facing increasing pressure: tighter margins, complex supply chains, labour shortages and stricter compliance requirements. Legacy or one-size-fits-all systems make it harder to respond with speed, accuracy and consistency, and many manufacturing companies are impacted by the same outcomes.
Old or mismatched tools create silos between systems and teams that decrease productivity. Manual workarounds for legacy technology and visibility gaps slow decision-making and increase risk on a number of fronts.
Limitations to scheduling within existing platforms, weaker quality controls and less transparent oversight, and reactive rather than proactive maintenance can lead to costly downtime and missed deadlines for manufacturing operations.
As well as needing to meet complex Australian and New Zealand manufacturing standards, manufacturers operate in a space often targeted by hackers. They are now faced with the challenge of highly complex cyber security threats, and an obligation to not only safeguard their processes and operations, but also their data.
As an authorised Epicor partner in Australia and New Zealand, SoftLabs delivers Epicor Kinetic ERP to help manufacturers overcome these challenges, running a more stable, connected and efficient operation.
A modern ERP for manufacturing, Kinetic supports a range of environments, from food and beverage to metal fabrication, automotive, electronics and more, across both discrete and process manufacturing. With real-time production data, automated workflows and integrated supply chain management, you gain the visibility and control needed to operate with confidence.
Clear dashboards, live data and accurate planning tools to improve forecasting and reduce bottlenecks across manufacturing facilities.
Accurate stock tracking, automated replenishment, batch and lot traceability, and alignment with warehouse operations for manufacturing inventory control.
Tools for QA checks, audit trails, safety controls, and automated compliance reporting for Australian and New Zealand manufacturing compliance.
Kinetic is a comprehensive, modern, browser-based cloud ERP for manufacturing, built on low-code technology. Drawing from its name, it is for businesses on the move, processes that adapt, and operations that are growing and evolving. Kinetic is customisable, so you can select the functionality that works for you and only pay for what you need.
Trusted by manufacturers across sectors including food and beverage, automotive components, electronics, metal fabrication, plastics, engineering, and other local Australian and New Zealand manufacturing operations.
































Epicor Kinetic isn’t just a system of record; it’s a “Cognitive ERP” powered by Vertical AI designed for your industry.
A conversational AI agent that allows you to interact with your data in natural language. Ask questions, automate RFQs, and get instant insights into production risks.

The “Kinetic” in the name refers to the modern, browser-based user experience and the underlying low-code technology.
A low-code tool that allows users to customize screens, add fields, and build workflows without knowing how to code.
Built on Microsoft Azure, providing high security and automatic updates.
Powered by Workato, making it easy to connect Kinetic to CRM (like HubSpot), CAD, or E-commerce platforms.

As manufacturing operations evolve, your ERP needs to evolve too. We work with you to refine processes, configurations and integrations over time. Through ongoing analysis, targeted improvements and practical support, we reduce inefficiencies, and strengthen performance across your manufacturing ERP system as your business grows.
To keep your ERP aligned with how your manufacturing business runs, we provide ongoing mentoring and practical support. A dedicated ERP mentor runs regular health checks, offers guidance and identifies improvement opportunities early. With refresher training and workflow coaching, we ensure your ERP continues to support efficient production and operations.
Better performance starts with better measurement. We run performance management workshops to help manufacturing teams define meaningful KPIs that support whole-of-business goals. Those measures are visualised through Phocas analytics integrated into Epicor ERP for manufacturing, giving teams real-time insight to track performance, uncover opportunities, lift sales and reduce costs.
Our ERP is ideal for mid-sized Australian and New Zealand manufacturing operations that need visibility, accuracy and control, not more complexity.
