Scinomix, a leader in laboratory automation specializing in innovative solutions for tube and vial labeling, microplate labeling, and customized systems, has selected FastClose to enhance reporting and analysis capabilities within their Epicor ERP system.
Ellie Proffer, President of Scinomix, explained,
After implementing Epicor ERP, we struggled to generate management reports and ad hoc information effectively. We explored various options and discovered FastClose through a user group post. Their free trial and training offerings made it easy for us to get started.
We installed FastClose quickly, and after just one hour of training, I was able to build a comprehensive P&L hierarchy and extract useful information from our data. What impressed us most was the range of out-of-the-box solutions, such as Gross Margin by customer and product reports, which were ready to use immediately. These reports were easy to customize, allowing us to include sales reps and other relevant columns from the Epicor AR tables.
“Teri and I quickly recognized the potential to create many more ad hoc and critical month-end reports without relying on technical personnel to build BAQs. FastClose unlocked our database in ways we'd never experienced before.”
After seeing the immediate benefits, Scinomix expanded their FastClose usage by adding more users and incorporating the scheduler to link data to Power BI.
Scinomix has also implemented FastClose's HTML real-time read and drill client, running on their local network. This enables employees to log in and access live, drillable data, in the browser, instantly.
“We are thrilled with FastClose," Ellie concluded. "It has transformed how we access and analyze our Epicor ERP data, delivering real-time operational insights that drive better decision-making across our organization.”
Starting out by providing custom solutions for labs focussing on cell biology, Scinomix sold its first Sci-Print MP2 in 2009, the MP2 being a semi-automated microplate labeler that prints and applies labels onto microtiter plates enabling sample tracking. From this point on their focus has been on developing a standard line of automated vial and plate labelers for lab professionals worldwide. For more information, visit scinomix.com.
