Lumino vs. Automation Studio
Integration Platform vs. Epicor Automation
Automation Studio automates Epicor. Lumino integrates your entire ecosystem.
Lumino vs. Epicor Automation Studio
Automation Studio works well for automating workflows inside Epicor. Lumino acts as an independent integration layer, allowing for flexibility and scale over time.
Lumino at a Glance
Lumino serves as a dedicated integration layer, removing Epicor Automation Studio from the critical path and treating Epicor as one connector among many. Systems like HubSpot and Smartsheet connect naturally through Lumino, while Epicor Kinetic is handled end-to-end with secure authentication, orchestration, retries, and error recovery.
By keeping logic outside of Epicor, integrations can evolve independently as systems change. The result is a clean, future-proof architecture that scales beyond Epicor without rebuilding workflows or locking automation to a single platform.
Epicor Automation Studio at a Glance
Epicor Automation Studio (EAS) is Epicor’s embedded automation solution, built on a white-labeled version of Workato. It works best when Epicor is the system of record, with prebuilt recipes for common workflows like purchase order approvals, shipping alerts, eCommerce processes, and ERP-triggered automations.
Because it’s Epicor-first by design, integrations must involve Epicor directly—even when connecting non-Epicor systems. Licensing is tied to Epicor rather than actual integration usage, with additional costs per recipe and task. Integrations are customer- and database-specific, limiting reuse and requiring consultants to rebuild similar workflows for each client.
Why Businesses Choose Lumino Over Epicor Automation Studio
Cost Model That Matches Reality
You pay for the integrations you actually run and the environments you need, not an expensive Epicor automation license that lacks the flexibility and agility you need.
Built for Multi-System Ecosystems
Lumino integrates Epicor, HubSpot, Smartsheet, eCommerce platforms, and future SaaS tools without forcing Epicor into every flow.
Long-Term Maintainability
Reusable components mean API changes don’t require rebuilding entire integrations, and scaling solutions across customers becomes possible.
