Case Study: CHS Mountain West Co-op achieves 6% companywide margin increase with Epicor Eagle N Series & Compass

Farm and Ranch Business Realizes 6 Percent Margin Increase With Epicor Solutions

CHS Mountain West Co-op, a six-location farm, home, and ranch cooperative based in Missoula, Montana, serves farmer-owners and customers across western Montana. Facing the need to streamline business processes, improve inventory management for roughly 70,000 SKUs, and make critical sales and pricing information easy to access, the co-op sought technology to gain better operational visibility and control.

Implementing Epicor Eagle N Series and Epicor Compass gave CHS Mountain West real-time buying, pricing, and inventory insights, enabling tighter purchasing and margin control. Results included a 6% companywide increase in soft-lines margins, an $80,000 margin gain at one location, a 5% annual inventory reduction, and improved product-pricing visibility.
