Generally available on May 8, 2025, Eclipse release 2025.1 includes a wide array of new features and enhancements designed to improve user experience, streamline operations, and integrate seamlessly with other systems.
Imagine a scenario where your customers no longer need to manually check the status of B2B orders. A feature that provides detailed updates on shipment status at the line-item level, such as shipping date, delivery date, and tracking number. This functionality is now available with the new Order Shipment Status window, added to the B2B Commerce inquiry, saving time and enhancing the customer experience.
Another feature included in 2025.1 is Customized Coupon Use, which allows you to tailor coupons by customer and/or price line, as well as by individual order generation or the entire order. Reward your loyal customers or entice new customers to make a purchase with the use of coupons. Web Order Entry can accept these coupons, increasing customer satisfaction and maximizing sales.
The new Assign UD Views functionality in Role Maintenance enables distributors to assign either a user-defined view or a template view to specific roles, thereby improving efficiency and consistency across the organization. For example, you could create a customized dashboard view for your sales team, displaying key metrics. By assigning this user-defined view to the sales role, every sales team member can access the same information quickly and easily, ensuring alignment. This not only streamlines the workflow but also enhances productivity and decision-making, as employees have the relevant data readily available at their fingertips.
If you’re a distributor that regularly purchases large quantities of products from multiple vendors, you’re going to love this feature. The Vendor Volume Rebates report enables you to generate a report that tracks program details to maximize vendor incentive opportunities. With this report, you can monitor your purchases in real-time and strategically plan your orders to meet rebate thresholds, saving considerable time and money.
Eclipse release 2025.1 introduces powerful integrations to enhance connectivity and provide deeper analytics. One key enhancement is the integration with Epicor Inventory Planning & Optimization (IP&O), which enables accurate demand forecasting by supplying essential product and order data. This leads to improved inventory management, reducing instances of stockouts and overstocking. For example, you can now leverage Epicor IP&O to predict demand more precisely, ensuring you have the right stock levels. Secure and seamless data transfer allows you to focus on making informed decisions about inventory levels, purchasing, and production planning, ultimately boosting operational efficiency and profitability.
Continuing to focus on integration and operational efficiencies, Elite EXTRA is designed to optimize last-mile delivery logistics. This scalable and advanced transportation product suite manages the entire forward and reverse logistics process, seamlessly connecting with drivers from leading delivery fleets to provide you with fast and reliable delivery options. By simplifying last-mile logistics, Elite EXTRA enables you to meet growing customer delivery expectations and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
As you explore the new features and enhancements in this latest release, it's also an opportunity to consider migrating Eclipse to the cloud.
