Auto Parts Center, a single-location automotive parts retailer in New Jersey, implemented Epicor Prism to replace a program-group system limited to proprietary catalog data. The upgrade enabled electronic access to all supplier catalogs, bar-coded cycle counting, and VIN-based part lookup. Results included faster receiving and counter transactions, perpetual inventory accuracy, and the ability to add new product lines without added staff or manual data entry.

Key takeaways

Integrated multi-supplier electronic catalog eliminated paper lookups and enabled non-program group product sales

Bar coding reduced receiving time from four hours to 30 minutes and enabled year-round cycle counting

VIN Lookup and web-based manufacturer research improved part identification accuracy at the counter

PowerPricer feature allowed rapid cost and price updates from supplier files without manual entry

System flexibility supported revenue growth without increasing headcount or closing for physical inventory
