Speckman Automotive, a 50-year family-run distributor with three stores in Ohio, replaced its legacy J-CON system with Epicor Eagle in 2006. The Windows-based MES solution delivered multi-location inventory visibility, offline point-of-sale for field sales, automated vendor price uploads, and electronic document management. Implementation required six weeks of off-site data conversion and weekend go-live across all sites, with staff proficient within two days. Reported outcomes include higher sales, reduced manual data entry, faster receivables processing, and continued use of Business Advisor reporting.
