Kaufman Container, a 128-employee packaging components manufacturer, implemented Epicor ERP after years of disconnected systems and Excel-based purchasing. A post-go-live business process review identified gaps in inventory, production, and costing modules. Full deployment of time-phased MRP, multi-bin warehousing, BPM workflows, and average costing delivered trusted data, faster order processing, and measurable overhead savings.

Key takeaways

Replaced multiple non-integrated systems and Excel worksheets with single Epicor ERP instance

Achieved 30% overhead cost reduction through improved purchasing visibility and process automation

Implemented structured sites, warehouses, and bins for rapid inventory location and job issuance

Standardized average costing across all product lines to eliminate inconsistent gross margin reporting

Used time-phased material reports and BPM rules to drive accurate purchasing and tailored workflows
