ERIKS Seals and Plastics, an industrial distributor of elastomer and engineered plastic components, replaced 90-95 percent manual order entry with Epicor AutoOrder. The solution converts emailed or faxed purchase orders into electronic sales orders within the Epicor Prelude ERP system without requiring customer process changes or OCR. Results included faster order cycle times, fewer keying errors, and reallocation of customer service representative time to in-depth service activities.
