“The new EPG Solution
Provider Program removes
the protective moat
designed many years
ago by traditional WMS
and voice providers that
prevented leading AIDC
system integration partners
from direct access to their
solutions. EPG is breaking
from the past by providing
Zebra Technologies
Premier Partners with
access to world-class
WMS/WCS and voice
solutions that helps
give them a competitive
advantage,” said Scott
Deutsch, President, North
America, EPG.
“The 2019 program offers
Zebra Premier Partners
exciting new customer
solution opportunities with
our highly regarded Lydia
Voice and LFS WMS/WCS
solutions that are installed
at more than 1,100
customers globally.”
Over the past six months,
EPG collaborated with
leading Zebra Technologies
Premier Partners to design
a modernized three-tiered
partner program. Each
Solution Provider level –
Diamond, Platinum, and
Registered – addresses
core obstacles often
encountered by partners
when they previously
32 | JANUARY 2019
engaged with various
WMS and voice software
companies, such as
ongoing program costs
and large upfront staffing
commitments.
The growth of
e-commerce and the
continued expansion
of the supply chain
execution market has
led to the increase in
opportunities that are
fueling interest amongst
top-tier, solution-
oriented partners. The
EPG Solution Provider
Program offers excellent
engagement opportunities
for participants to expand
their software solution
edge, with options that
are aligned to their
customers’ overall
business strategy.
The 2019 program
fully enables partners
to seamlessly help
customers transition
to new Android device
portfolios, driven by
the ending of Windows
Mobile support.
Key EPG software
solutions included in the
EPG Solution Provider
Program for 2018 and
2019 include:
Lydia Voice
Lydia Voice 8 is the first
voice recognition solution
for the logistics market to
use deep neural network
technology designed
specifically for the
industrial environment
where “near perfect” voice
recognition is required
and does not require
outdated voice-template
training. Lydia Voice
8 virtually eliminates
one of the most time-
consuming multi-site IT
responsibilities associated
with a typical voice
project when Lydia Voice
Enterprise SiteSwitcher
with dynamic set up
is leveraged. Direct
integration with SAP EWM
and WM, Manhattan,
JDA, Infor, Oracle,
Retalix, HighJump,
SAGE, NetSuite, and
20+ additional ERP/WMS
solutions is available.
EPG offers a lifetime
integration guarantee to
customers with active
support agreements to
ensure that they sleep
well at night when their
ERP/WMS provides an
update to their software.
LFS WMS/WCS
EPG’s
flagship WMS solution
offers robust functionality
across more of the
supply chain through
its WMS, WCS, WES,
