Morris Auto Parts Epicor Prism Inventory Sharing Case Study
Case study showing how Morris Auto Parts used Epicor Prism for shared inventory, RF scanning, and counter productivity in a nine-member independent parts group.
Morris Auto Parts, a single-location automotive parts wholesaler in Philadelphia, implemented Epicor Prism to support inventory balancing across the United Jobber Alliance. The system automatically transfers overstock and slow movers between locations, surfaces stock from partner warehouses, and integrates bar-code RF scanning. Additional modules track counter metrics, outside sales activity, and delivery performance via ODBC links to dispatch systems.
Eight POJA members share one Prism instance; inventory balancing moves stock automatically between sites.
RF bar-code scanning cut daily count time by several hours and raised inventory accuracy.
Counter reports on tickets per hour, order-to-delivery time, and phone vs. walk-up sales guide employee training.
AConneX e-commerce reduces counter time and lowers return rates for 10% of customers.
Outside sales laptops with daily order history improve response time and proactive customer outreach.
