Power and Rubber Supply, a 55-employee Alabama distributor of bearings, power transmission, and rubber products, replaced an antiquated system with Epicor Prophet 21 in 2010. The implementation delivered real-time inventory visibility, automated pick tickets with shelf locations, and accurate cost-plus-margin tracking. Results included faster order processing, fewer packing errors, pricing corrections on loss-making SKUs, and near-paperless warehouse operations.

Pricing corrected on items previously sold below cost after full margin visibility

Paper eliminated from picking, packing, and order tracking workflows
