Yoder's Shipshewana Hardware implemented Epicor Eagle in 2007 and later engaged the Epicor Business Accelerator program to optimize inventory processes. The two-day engagement focused on managing specialty inventory from multiple suppliers, implementing data-driven ordering, and restricting inventory adjustments to the Physical Inventory Posting function. Results included five hours saved weekly on ordering, improved inventory accuracy, and higher inventory turns.
