Universal Lift Parts, an automotive aftermarket distributor in Michigan, migrated from the Epicor Prism system to Epicor Eagle after 20 years. The new system automated order transmission to ACDelco, monthly price file imports, and barcode-based receiving. These changes reduced manual effort in purchasing, pricing, and inventory transfers while improving accuracy and freeing staff time for performance analysis using Epicor Compass analytics.

Key takeaways

Automated direct order transmission to ACDelco eliminated manual floppy disk processes

Monthly price file imports replaced reliance on external pricing services

Barcode receiving cut stock check-in time from three days to a fraction of prior effort

Daily stock transfer processing time reduced by at least one hour with higher accuracy

Integrated Compass analytics enabled better sales, customer, and promotion reporting
