Advanced business software is powerful, but its real magic happens when it’s tailored to solve the everyday challenges that different industries face.
From helping professional services firms cut finance costs and launch projects faster to enabling food manufacturers to slash inventory waste and boost production, intelligent platforms are making it easier for businesses to work smarter, not harder. And more and more it's becoming about unlocking real results where they matter most and not just technology.

Professional services, the backbone of Australia's economy, contribute a massive 63.6% to GDP in 2023. But behind that impressive figure, a common challenge many businesses face is the consistent juggling of fragmented systems and manual processes that slow down project delivery and drive up costs.
One firm decided to tackle this head-on with a greenfield ERP implementation. By choosing a best-practice, no-customisation approach, they cut finance costs by 5% and sped up project initiation by 25%. Even more impressively, they consolidated nine separate ERP systems into one integrated platform, giving them real-time visibility into project profitability and financial health.
This kind of transformation is exactly what solutions like the SAP Business Suite are designed for. They help firms shift from reactive to proactive financial management, which is crucial in an industry where margins are often tight and agility is everything.

Retailers and food manufacturers might operate in completely different worlds, but they share a common goal: working smarter to stay competitive. Intelligent software is helping both industries boost efficiency and respond faster to changing demands.
In retail, AI is being used to enhance customer support, automate marketing, and detect fraud, freeing up teams to focus on delivering better experiences. Meanwhile, a food manufacturing company used cloud ERP to cut work-in-progress inventory by 60% and double throughput for key production lines. That’s the kind of impact that turns operational headaches into strategic wins.
These are just a few examples of how industry-specific solutions can drive real results. If you're looking to streamline operations and unlock new value, EPI-USE’s SAP solutions for retail and manufacturing are designed to help you get there.

Despite their differences, all three industries share a common requirement: a unified data platform that supports diverse use cases without requiring a full system overhaul.
In many organisations, customer-facing tools like Salesforce and back-end systems like SAP S/4HANA operate in silos, making it hard to get a complete picture. A one-size-fits-all solution simply won’t cut it. What’s needed is a platform that can pull data from multiple sources and apply the right analytics to drive smarter decisions.
That’s where the SAP Business Data Cloud comes in. It gives businesses the flexibility to solve specific pain points with a modular approach—no disruption, no drama.
If you're looking to connect your systems and unlock real-time insights, EPI-USE can help you harness the power of SAP Business Technology Platform.
From professional services to retail and manufacturing, intelligent software is helping businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency, and innovate with confidence. The key is choosing solutions that fit your industry’s unique needs and building on a data platform that supports growth without disruption.
