Epicor, an Austin, TX-based provider of industry-specific enterprise software, acquired Elite EXTRA, a provider of cloud-based last mile delivery solutions.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The acquisition expands Epicor’s ability to help its customers across the make, move, and sell industries simplify last mile logistics and compete in a hyper-competitive market more effectively.
Led by President and Founder Jim Ward, Elite EXTRA provides a product portfolio dedicated to:
- Simplifying last mile delivery logistics. Elite EXTRA offers an end-to-end logistics management solution for multiple logistics operations. From deliveries and pickups to services and shuttling people, Elite EXTRA streamlines operations and provides full visibility of logistics to make more informed routing decisions.
- Streamlining and scaling operations with an extensive delivery network. Elite EXTRA helps meet demanding customer expectations by using the most efficient and cost-effective ways to deliver products. A pre-connected network enables customers to leverage leading third-party fleets such as DoorDash®, Uber, Roadie, Point Pickup, and more. Customers manage delivery options by preference or automated business rules such as speed, price, or priority fleet agreements.
- Strengthening reverse logistics and automate returns. Elite EXTRA streamlines and provides enhanced visibility into the entire returns process. The solution helps to reduce the cost of returns and accelerates the pickup, validation/authorization, and credit issuing process.
The Elite EXTRA portfolio is built on a service-oriented architecture, making it easy to scale and integrate with ERP, POS, and eCommerce systems. Elite EXTRA is already integrated with Epicor Vision, the company’s automotive parts distribution management platform. In the future, Elite EXTRA will be integrated with other Epicor ERP platforms and industry productivity solutions across the Epicor Industry ERP Cloud portfolio.
