Epica Solutions Pty Ltd is wholly owned and operated Australian company providing data management services with a core focus on:
Technical Cataloguing provides a commercial description to enable personnel to readily identify, select and obtain an item either through a requisition or purchase order.
It can save companies a recurring bucket load of money i.e. 5 to 10% of annual inventory costs.
NATO Codification is conducted for inter-operability between allied forces and reverse engineering should the “balloon” go up. It operates in a multilingual environment.
DifferencesWhilst both disciplines instil uniform naming, description formats, etc. the following slides will illustrate the variances and why they are two totally different arts.
Detailed data that fully describes the item.
Difficult to interpret to the untrained eye.
Too much information for everyday use.

NATO Codification is only one (1) facet of ILS activity –there are 12 disciplines within the ILS sphere.
DSS have now listed NATO Codification as a separate category and Epica is on the current DSS panel for Codification services.
Epica Solutions is currently contracted through an MSP to provide codification services to the National Codification Bureau in Defence Plaza Melbourne.
Various SPO’s have a requirement for Codification and Cataloguing services and issue RFQTS’s via the DSS panel.
Epica Solutions provides some of the services direct or through intermediary companies (SME Aggregators) who are registered on the DSS panel.
Prior to the MSP model Epica Solutions had a successive number of direct contracts with the NCB.
SME Aggregators was an obvious answer to our problems to expand our service offering when Epica was not on the DSS panel.
By joining various aggregators the company has a wider access to various RFQTS and is able to bid in its own right as part of the alliance.
