Case Study: Kirlin Lighting achieves automated sales reporting and improved process efficiency with AIM Computer Solutions

AIM Computers Solutions Provides Epicor Consulting Services for Kirlin

Kirlin Lighting, a global leader in medical and commercial lighting systems, faced a significant challenge in manually generating and distributing monthly sales reports and commission statements to its network of 95 independent manufacturer's representative agencies. This manual process was extremely time-consuming, requiring multiple employees to compile data from spreadsheets and the Epicor ERP system, which hindered efficiency and growth. The company engaged AIM Computer Solutions for integration consulting services to help them more effectively utilize their Epicor software and automate these critical operations.

AIM Computer Solutions designed and implemented an integration plan to automate the sales reporting process. They utilized the Epicor ERP's Business Activity Query (BAQ) to export data and present it on a secure portal on Kirlin's website, making real-time performance data instantly accessible to each agency. This solution automated the manual compilation and emailing of reports, saving approximately 30 person-hours per month. As a result, Kirlin's staff was reallocated to value-creating sales efforts, allowing the company to improve process efficiency and focus on strategic growth.
