Case Study: ACE Clearwater Enterprises achieves real-time visibility and faster decision-making with Epicor Vantage

ACE Clearwater Enterprises - Customer Case Study

ACE Clearwater Enterprises is a family‑owned sheet‑metal fabricator in Torrance, CA (180 employees) that supplies complex assemblies to aerospace, automotive, and power‑generation customers. The company struggled with a legacy UNIX ERP and disparate databases that provided stale, hard‑to‑access information and slowed response times as customer turnaround expectations and in‑house capabilities accelerated.

ACE implemented Epicor Vantage 8.0, a .NET/SOA‑based ERP, rolling it out via cross‑functional teams and a weekend data conversion. The new system delivered real‑time data to 50 users (and 20 barcode sessions), improved supply‑chain visibility and part traceability, reduced paperwork, sped decision making, simplified administration and upgrades, and positioned ACE to offer future web‑based customer access.
