Gertens Landscape Supplies, a 100-acre nursery and garden center, implemented Epicor Eagle in 2002 to handle expanded retail operations and high seasonal transaction volumes. The system supports point of sale, inventory tracking for 40,000 SKUs, accounts payable and receivable, and contractor self-service via iNET portal.
