Epicor automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Epicor?
Three-way match, vendor master maintenance, GL coding, invoice posting, payment runs, intercompany reconciliations, accruals and journal entry posting, and exception routing back to AP/AR clerks in plain English. Kognitos reads from Epicor, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail, no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Epicor?
Through Epicor's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Epicor supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Epicor can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include a new invoice or PO record, a posting attempt that fails validation, a scheduled close task, or a webhook from an upstream system. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Epicor automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Epicor records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Epicor data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Epicor data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Epicor integration?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll help you connect Epicor, pick a real bottleneck from your team's backlog, and ship a working automation written in plain English in the first session, no procurement runway required.
