Epicor, a leading provider of industry-focused enterprise software solutions, has acquired Acadia Software, a key innovator in Connected Worker technologies.
Acadia’s platform enhances workforce productivity in the manufacturing and supply chain sectors by delivering real-time insights and actionable guidance. This helps streamline operations and boost efficiency. The financial details of the acquisition have not been disclosed.
Acadia’s platform integrates seamlessly with existing enterprise systems, merging workforce performance data with broader operational metrics. This not only improves decision-making but also uncovers opportunities for greater efficiency.
Focus on Continuous Improvement Acadia also supports skills development, providing frontline workers with tools to quickly adapt to new processes, software, and equipment. This emphasis on skill-building fosters employee growth and career advancement.
Aligned with Epicor’s goal of operational optimization and sustainable growth, Acadia promotes continuous improvement by empowering workers to identify inefficiencies, suggest improvements, and follow best practices.
“Frontline workers need the right digital tools and knowledge to perform their roles safely and efficiently,” said Steve Murphy, CEO of Epicor. “The acquisition of Acadia strengthens Epicor’s commitment to helping businesses in the manufacturing, distribution, and retail sectors move beyond merely instructing workers—providing them the resources to work smarter and drive productivity.”
With Acadia’s capabilities, Epicor customers can empower their frontline teams by offering real-time data, digital work instructions, and task management tools, contributing to continuous improvement across their operations.
“Frontline workers are the backbone of any successful company, and those who can operate independently are more effective and engaged,” said Josh Crone, Vice President and CTO at Acadia Software. “Joining Epicor allows us to connect more frontline workers to the tools they need, while continuing to serve our existing Acadia customers.”
