North Coast Electric Improves Reporting with Epicor Eclipse and MITS Analytics
Case study of North Coast Electric implementing MITS Distributor Analytics with Epicor Eclipse to enable self-service reporting and daily data refreshes for 350 users.
North Coast Electric, a 600-employee electrical distributor, replaced a legacy system with Epicor Eclipse in 2006. To overcome MultiValue data transparency limits, the company deployed MITS Discover OLAP cubes and MITS Report on a dedicated server. Daily synchronization delivers refreshed hypercubes by 7:30 a.m., allowing business users to create Excel and PDF reports without burdening IT. The solution supports inventory, sales, and cost-control analysis across 34 locations.
MITS Distributor Analytics runs on a separate server to protect Eclipse performance while providing daily refreshed OLAP cubes.
Self-service reporting lets 350 users generate, sort, and export reports to Excel or PDF without IT intervention.
Hypercubes convert MultiValue subvalue data into three-dimensional trend analysis for sales, inventory, and expense monitoring.
Dedicated MITS Report server handles 90 percent of reporting load, freeing Eclipse CPUs and memory for transactions.
Dashboards and scorecards give branch managers, sales teams, and executives real-time visibility into budgets and top performers.
