Automotive Service Parts, a two-step automotive aftermarket distributor in Oregon, consolidated operations after acquisitions and upgraded from 1980s-era Prism software. The new Epicor Vision suite enabled full-cycle inventory scanning, reduced pick and mis-pick rates, and introduced dynamic pricing by part, line, and category. Integrated Compass analytics and Vista market-basket tools replaced limited canned reports with on-demand operational KPIs and demand-driven assortment planning.
