As an electrical distributor, you face different challenges every hour of the day. You might serve contractors before dawn, deal with puzzled homeowners at noon, and ship everything from AC drives to voltage testers until closing time. Epicor productivity solutions help you meet your industry-specific challenges.
An ERP System That’s Packaged for Distribution Businesses
Your team of subject-matter experts are on top of packaging industry trends—ours have been working with paper and packaging distributors for more than 50 years. We understand how your business operates so you can focus on how it innovates. Our industry expertise explains why Epicor has five times more second-time ERP buyers than the industry average.
Epicor provides integrated solutions that make your business operations faster and more efficient. Whether orders come in on the web, through EDI, over the phone, at the front counter, or during an in-person sales call, you eliminate errors from manual efforts. Epicor connects all the critical areas of your business—from sales to inventory management to finance.
With consistent access to your business data, it’s easier to gain the insights you need to sell more, control costs, and stay ahead of the competition. Create customized, interactive dashboards to analyze the data inside your business systems and make informed strategic decisions.
You need simple processes for sales teams and customers to place correct orders, even as the number of SKUs grows. With Prophet 21, your sales team can complete the entire order entry process from one screen at the counter or on mobile devices in the field. Customers benefit from the convenience of placing their own orders through an eCommerce site or EDI.
Your customers expect pricing that fits their business needs. With so many options and value-added services available, pricing an order can get complicated. Epicor solutions let you implement the pricing structures that you need to win more business.
A single packaging order may ship over time. Delivery dates can vary from item to item or even within an item—requiring distributors to ship specific items or quantities on specific dates. Prophet 21 Software allows you to handle these types of orders directly in Order Entry.
Choose from multiple inventory replenishment methods—including Order Point Order Quantity (OPOQ), Min-Max, Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and Order Up-To—to minimize your carrying costs and improve cash flow. Use different replenishment methods for different sets of items.
Your customers expect you to operate continuously. As your business grows, you need reassurance that your ERP scales with you without interruption. Epicor Prophet 21 Cloud empowers you to expand while satisfying your customers’ high expectations.
Market research company IDC reported that distributors achieve a three-year average ROI of 412% from Epicor solutions. Find out how.
