Overview

ePS Radius is an enterprise resource planning system built for one industry: packaging converting. Converting-specific estimating, scheduling, and shop floor management sit in the same platform as order management, purchasing, inventory, and accounting. The product is developed and sold by eProductivity Software (ePS), whose packaging business operates as an independent, Pittsburgh-based software company, and it counts among the established ERP options for North American folding carton, label, and flexible packaging plants.

Where ePS Radius comes from

Radius Solutions, a print and packaging MIS and ERP developer with development roots in the United Kingdom, wrote the original system. Electronics For Imaging (EFI) acquired the company in July 2010, after which the platform was marketed as EFI Radius. In January 2022 Symphony Technology Group (STG) carved EFI's productivity software business out into a standalone company, and Radius became part of the newly formed eProductivity Software.

October 2025 brought another split. The Print ePS division merged with CAI Software, while the ePS Packaging division, which owns Radius, stayed outside that deal and continued as an independent, STG-backed company. Product work did not pause through the reshuffling: during 2025 ePS modernized Radius as a cloud-first platform, introduced the Radius Hub customer self-service portal, and released Radius 13.0, and the 2026 CommandCore release line added Pack AI, an assistant embedded inside Radius screens.

Modules and capabilities

Radius covers the quote-to-cash cycle of a converting operation. Estimating is product-specific for cartons, labels, and flexible materials, including print-plus-converting routings, which is precisely the part generalist systems handle badly. Order management, purchasing, inventory, and financial accounting share one database, and shop floor data collection feeds actual costs back against the original estimate.

Around that core, ePS positions modules for smart scheduling, manufacturing execution (MES), quality and compliance, sustainability reporting, and supply chain connectivity. Lot and reel tracking carries the batch traceability obligations that food, beverage, and pharmaceutical brand owners push down onto their packaging suppliers.

Best-fit companies

Mid-market and enterprise converters, not small shops and not commercial printers. Folding carton plants, label converters, flexible packaging producers, and corrugated operations make up the typical customer base, frequently multi-site and frequently under scrutiny from demanding brand owners. Sales and support are strongest in North America and Europe. For very small label converters, ePS itself points to Paxis, a separate cloud MIS launched in 2025.

Deployment and pricing

Radius was an on-premises system for most of its history, and part of the installed base still runs that way. Since the 2025 modernization the vendor leads with cloud-first delivery, and the Radius Hub portal is delivered as a cloud service. Pricing is not published. Deals are quoted by modules, users, and sites, with implementation and data migration as separate cost blocks; the general cost factors are outlined in our ERP cost guide.

Editorial verdict

The case for Radius is depth. Converting-specific estimating and costing at this level of detail is something generalist ERP platforms reach only through heavy customization, and heavy customization in a converting plant is expensive to build and worse to maintain. Established folding carton, label, and flexible packaging companies that want plant-level manufacturing control and corporate financials in one system are the right audience.

Small converters and commercial printers should not be in this sales conversation at all; the vendor's own Paxis exists for the former, and print MIS products serve the latter. For everyone else, two questions decide it: ownership and timing. The product has changed corporate homes repeatedly since 2010, and the cloud modernization program is recent enough that upgrade paths for older on-premises installs deserve written answers rather than reassurance. Benchmark at least one competing converter ERP and one platform-based alternative before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is ePS Radius and who is it for?

Radius is an ERP built specifically for packaging converters: estimating, scheduling, shop floor management, inventory, purchasing, and accounting in one platform. The audience is mid-market and enterprise plants in folding carton, labels, flexible packaging, and corrugated production. Commercial printers and very small converters are the wrong fit, and ePS itself points the latter to Paxis, its smaller cloud MIS.

Is ePS Radius the same product as EFI Radius, and who owns it now?

Same lineage, three names. The Radius product line began at Radius Solutions, a packaging MIS and ERP developer that Electronics For Imaging acquired in July 2010 and rebranded as EFI Radius. When Symphony Technology Group carved EFI's productivity software business out in January 2022, the product moved to the newly formed eProductivity Software and became ePS Radius. Today it belongs to the packaging business of ePS, which operates as an independent, STG-backed company: when the Print ePS division merged with CAI Software in October 2025, the packaging division was explicitly kept out of that merger. The product was continued and modernized rather than replaced, but the number of corporate homes since 2010 is itself a due-diligence item.

Is ePS Radius a cloud system?

Partly. Radius spent most of its history as an on-premises system and many existing customers still run it that way, but in 2025 ePS modernized the platform with a cloud-first delivery model and added Radius Hub, a cloud-based customer self-service portal. Clarify which deployment options apply to your module set, and ask what the upgrade path looks like for an older on-premises installation.

Does ePS publish pricing for Radius?

No. Radius is quoted individually based on modules, user counts, number of sites, and deployment model, and converter ERP implementations carry significant services work for configuration, data migration, and training, so the total project figure sits well above license or subscription fees alone.
