All Fasteners, a Wisconsin fastener and industrial distributor, operates both a traditional sales division and a vendor-managed inventory (VMI) business. The company implemented Epicor Prophet 21 ERP with integrated wireless warehouse management to support customer-specific VMI contracts and real-time inventory adjustments. Wireless handheld devices and mobile label printing eliminated batch data uploads and reduced internal order errors. The unified system also improved reporting and billing for maintenance, repair, and overhaul customers.

Key takeaways

Reduced internal order error rate by 67 percent after switching to wireless order fulfillment

Decreased overtime hours by 35 percent by eliminating batch data processing

Enabled real-time VMI contract updates and inventory adjustments via handheld scanners

Unified ERP across traditional distribution and VMI operations on a single SQL Server platform

Immediate productivity gains achieved because staff already used wireless warehouse processes
