Klem's Tractor, a 75,000 sq ft farm and home retailer with 300,000 SKUs, implemented Epicor Eagle in 1997. The system replaced manual receipt handling and spreadsheet work with electronic document management, POS lookup, Compass reports, and Business Advisor dashboards. Results include elimination of daily receipt sorting, faster employee training, automated data import via macros, and real-time inventory correction through Viewers.

Key takeaways

Epicor Document Management cut annual paper and labor costs by $10,000 and removed pallet storage of register tapes.

POS lookup features eliminated miscellaneous sales entries and produced accurate sales history for planning.

Epicor Compass reports and Viewers enabled managers to locate and correct negative inventory and duplicate SKUs quickly.

Macros automated Excel import/export tasks, saving hours on vendor data loading and SKU updates.

Business Advisor reduced department analysis time from three days of manual spreadsheets to ten minutes of parameter-driven reports.
