Case Study: Jergens Industrial Supply achieves frictionless inventory management with Epicor

Creating Frictionless Inventory Management in a Fast-Paced World

Jergens Industrial Supply, the largest technical distributor of industrial products in Ohio, needed a faster, more frictionless way to compete with big-box and online rivals while meeting rising customer expectations. To improve shop-floor access to supplies and streamline inventory management, JIS turned to Epicor, using Epicor Prophet 21 alongside automated vending and IoT-enabled ordering tools.

Epicor helped Jergens Industrial Supply integrate its vending machines and ordering workflow with ERP systems, enabling push-button replenishment through JIS Express and consolidated daily orders. The result was a 30% productivity improvement, translating into millions of dollars in cost savings, while also reducing walk time, purchase order processing, and fulfillment effort.
