The Challenge
ERP data is trapped.
We liberate it.

Most Epicor customers can see their data — they just can't use it. Legacy SQL-based BI is fragile, hard to maintain, and facing an uncertain future as Epicor moves to the cloud.

The SQL Server Wall

Traditional Epicor BI relies on direct backend database access — brittle connections that break with upgrades and lock you out of hosted or SaaS deployments. When Epicor goes full cloud (targeted ~2028), this approach becomes obsolete overnight.

Disconnected Reporting

Out-of-the-box Epicor reports are rigid, hard to customize, and don't integrate with your broader analytics stack. Business decisions deserve real data, not exports and spreadsheets.

Fabric Complexity

Microsoft Fabric is powerful, but building a production-grade data warehouse with Epicor as the source requires deep expertise in both platforms — a rare combination most consultants don't have.

TailoredBI Bridges the Gap

We've built a proven, API-first pipeline that reads directly from Epicor BAQs, populates a purpose-built Fabric data warehouse, and delivers Power BI experiences that are fast, scalable, and ready for whatever Epicor's future holds.

A pipeline engineered
for Epicor's future.

Our four-layer architecture moves data from your ERP to your dashboards cleanly, reliably, and without touching the backend database.

01
BAQ Layer
Business Activity Queries in Epicor define exactly what data is exposed — you control the logic at the source.

02
Web API Extract
A custom connector calls the Epicor REST API on your schedule — no SQL credentials, no direct DB risk.

03
Fabric Load
Dataflows and Pipelines land data into a structured, incrementally-refreshed Fabric Data Warehouse.

04
Power BI Semantic Layer
A curated data model sits atop the warehouse, powering dashboards and reports with near real-time freshness.
Power BI · DirectLake
Built by someone who
knows Epicor inside out.

Years working inside Epicor Kinetic means we understand the data model, the quirks, and how to build BAQs that are actually useful as BI sources — not just canned reports.

  • Deep familiarity with Epicor's table structure and business logic
  • Experience building complex multi-join BAQs optimized for API extraction
  • Knowledge of which data is reliable vs. needs transformation
  • Understanding of Epicor's manufacturing, finance, and supply chain modules
⚡ Future-Proof by Design

With Epicor signaling a shift to cloud-only SaaS by approximately 2028, backend database access may become restricted or unavailable. Our API-first approach means your BI investment is protected — TailoredBI will work with Epicor's hosted environment without modification.
