Epicor Acquires KYKLO to Transform ERP Deployment

Epicor acquired KYKLO, accelerating delivery of Epicor’s AI-driven cognitive ERP vision to transform traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) from a system of record to a system of insight and action, keeping employees at the forefront with easy-to-use, practical, outcome-focused, and responsible artificial intelligence (AI).

“Our customers across the make, move, and sell industries increasingly need to reach more prospects across more channels, with a relevant, accurate, content-rich digital experience that drives brand loyalty and repeat business,” says Epicor CEO Steve Murphy. “Our acquisition of KYKLO furthers our aim to be the essential partner to the world’s most essential businesses, empowering them with purpose-built digital capabilities to meet their buyers’ needs whatever, and wherever, they may be.”

Key takeaways:

• The combined KYKLO portfolio augments the Epicor Commerce offering, empowering makers, movers, and sellers to deliver a complete digital experience that improves online product discovery, generates more sales-qualified leads, and delivers a modern online buying experience.
• With KYKLO, Epicor customers can more easily create, manage, and deploy product information such as content, price, and inventory across multiple channels to generate qualified leads and revenue. KYKLO also supports collaboration with suppliers for real-time, accurate, and complete product content, and use of product discovery tools that strengthen e-commerce strategies to drive sales.
• The KYKLO PIM can be integrated with any e-commerce platform and ensures delivery of the correct prospects to the right products and simplifies and automates data collection to enrich content and supercharge the order process.

“When we talk about B2B selling, we’re not actually talking about reaching businesses – it’s all about reaching people,” says KYKLO CEO Remi Ducrocq. “Our mission has always been to deliver the best eCommerce platforms possible to help our industry customers create targeted, easy-to-use, personalized buying experiences that help them grow and succeed, and we are thrilled to join Epicor in continuing to elevate that work.”
