AUSTIN, TX --(Marketwired - August 04, 2016) - Epicor Software Corporation, a global provider of industry-specific enterprise software to promote business growth, today announced ADSCO companies has chosen Epicor ® Prophet 21 ® as its new enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution to enable superior customer service, support a growing national sales team, and increase operational efficiency.
Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, ADSCO Companies is recognized as a national warehouse distribution center of products used in the auto and truck sales and service sector as well as allied service providers to the automotive industry such as car washes, detail shops, independent repair garages and body shops.
Over the last few years ADSCO Companies has achieved unprecedented growth, and company executives decided to build on that momentum by purchasing a new facility, hiring their first national sales manager, and incorporating a standalone customer relationship management (CRM) system into the sales cycle to support their growing business. However, during their search one of their customers with a similar business model introduced them to Prophet 21, which offered integrated CRM tools and distribution-focused features that could enhance their business.
"Though Prophet 21 was a more robust solution than we originally went looking for, we were convinced a more sophisticated ERP system would be another smart investment in our future," said Chuck Folzenlogen, president, ADSCO Companies. "References from other Prophet 21 users and a knowledgeable sales team made us confident Epicor would be a great long-term technology partner."
Industry-Specific Software Reduces Customization
Before coming to Epicor, ADSCO used a software solution built for the promotional products industry that lacked tools the company needs for other aspects of its distribution business. ADSCO plans to take advantage of Prophet 21 features like business process automation and advanced forecasting.
"With our previous system, we were forced to customize several processes to work for our organization. Those customizations created problems for us during routine updates, and when the software engineers who wrote them moved on," Folzenlogen continued. "Because Prophet 21 was built for distributors, our new ERP solution will require little to no customization to support our operations and will offer insights we never had before. We were thrilled to find an organization that understands our business, and we're eager to begin working with experts in the distribution industry."
"Epicor Prophet 21 is designed to offer powerful, out-of-the-box functionality so distributors can hit the ground running. Less training time means higher productivity and fewer errors," said Michael Goeke, product marketing manager, Epicor Software Corporation. "ADSCO has chosen a modern, end-to-end ERP solution with Prophet 21. We are excited to have them on the platform, and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow."
