Lehman Pipe and Plumbing Supply, a Miami-based plumbing distributor, engaged Epicor Business Consulting Services to maximize its existing Epicor Eclipse ERP. The engagement addressed underused system capabilities, unclear job responsibilities, and manual processes in inventory, payables, and receiving. Post-consulting, the company reclassified sales data, reduced slow-moving stock, and automated exception-based invoice review and PO receiving.

Key takeaways

Consulting engagement identified underutilized ERP functions and redefined job responsibilities

Reclassifying sales data reduced exceptional transactions and enabled accurate inventory planning

Excess inventory worth $900,000 was converted to cash within months

Exception-based invoice review cut review time by more than half

PO receiving registers eliminated double handling at the dock
