Hornung's Do It Best Hardware and Rental in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania replaced a rental-only system with Epicor Eagle Service and Repair when repair demand doubled after a competitor closed. The integrated module links point-of-sale, inventory, and service orders so mechanics record parts used, update status, and adjust stock in one workflow. Results include faster customer responses, higher repair throughput, and $5,000 efficiency gains during peak season.

Key takeaways
