Borch Machinery implemented Epicor ERP to overcome limitations in production planning, after-sales service, and multi-site coordination. The phased rollout integrated order, procurement, inventory, cost, and production scheduling modules with barcode data collection. Benefits included real-time costing, improved supply chain visibility, and paperless shop floor execution through MES integration.

Key takeaways

Legacy ERP could not support multi-plant planning or rapid business growth

Phased implementation covered warehouse, production scheduling, and order management

Real-time cost data replaced manual procurement entry and paper-based processes

Supply chain portal improved inventory turnover and supplier order accuracy

MES integration enabled LED-based task assignment and production visibility
