## The Problem

Manufacturing Controllers write time at week's end from memory — billable hours get lost, project codes are wrong, and write-offs eat realization.

## What We Build in Epicor Kinetic

AI watches calendar, email, and SAP S/4HANA activity, drafts timesheet entries per matter, and asks only for ambiguous slices — realization rate climbs 4–8 points. Purpose-built for teams running Epicor Kinetic — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.

## Epicor Kinetic Integration Approach

1. **Audit your Epicor Kinetic configuration.** We map the specific Epicor Kinetic objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your cost accounting practice.
2. **Build on the Epicor Kinetic API or agent.** Integration happens inside Epicor Kinetic — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
3. **Human-in-the-loop handoff.** Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in Epicor Kinetic with full context — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
