Epicor Kinetic solutions for metallurgy
Concerti helps you stay competitive in a challenging industry
Concerti understands that the pursuit of new opportunities, whether in new markets or driven by business performance, is the focus of metal fabricators’ concerns. Price sensitivity, the volatility of the cost of raw materials and the shortening of product lifecycles are impacting the metallurgy industry’s already slim margins.
Epicor for Fabricated Metals enables you to manage your industry’s demands by supporting simple to complex construction plans, make-to-order, make-to-stock or mixed-method environments with a unique and comprehensive solution.

Case studies
Dalsin Industries
Dalsin Industries is a precision metals manufacturer that prides itself on being an extension of its Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) customers. Based in Bloomington, Minnesota, the company provides metal fabrication solutions. Their expertise is comprised of a unique blend of experienced staff, stamping equipment and automated CNC fabrication/assembly. They also provide design services to reduce product manufacturing costs and to optimize the precision, form and function of the product.
Formerly an Epicor customer, Dalsin tried an alternate Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system for a while, only to revert to Epicor ERP. “We eventually figured out that we couldn’t track our costs on work orders as accurately on this system,” said Jeff Dalsin, IT Business Analyst for Dalsin Industries.
