Case Study: Athletica Sport Systems achieves $225,000 ROI and seasonal-demand control with Epicor

Epicor helps Athletica Sport Systems manage the seasonal demands for hockey to stay in the game

Athletica Sport Systems, based in Waterloo, Canada, engineers, manufactures and installs dasher boards and arena products for hockey and indoor soccer. Rapid growth from $5M to over $19M in sales exposed limits of fragmented, spreadsheet-based processes and homegrown systems, making inventory accuracy, costing, forecasting and seasonal production scheduling unreliable and hindering cash flow and pricing decisions.

Working with Six S Partners, Athletica implemented Epicor ERP—including Project Management and Product Configurator—to centralize real-time inventory, costing, estimating and scheduling across sites. Within 16 months the company realized a $225,000 ROI, improved inventory accuracy, streamlined order/quote entry, reduced administrative headcount, secured a $164,000 technology grant, and gained the pricing visibility and responsiveness needed to win more business.
