Our take

When to choose Epicor Prophet 21? If you are a very large distributor with complex processes, need maximal functional depth, want a broad partner network, and have the budget and time to run a VAR-led implementation project. It is a mature, proven and rich ERP with a huge install base — a safe choice for organizations that prize completeness and longevity. When to choose SupplyCore? If you want to go live in weeks rather than months, a predictable monthly cost with no surprises, operational AI, a B2B portal and a mobile app all included natively, genuine French-language support, and a significantly lower 3-year total cost of ownership. SupplyCore is built for distributors who want to move fast, without a heavy project or dependence on an integrator. Both are good products: the right choice depends on your size, budget and timeline.
