Case Study: G.L. Huyett reduces inventory 20% and improves turns 30% with Epicor Prophet 21

Fastener company sets itself apart with Epicor Prophet 21 ERP

G.L. Huyett is a Minneapolis, Kansas–based manufacturer and distributor of non-threaded fasteners with about 120 employees and more than 95,000 SKUs. Facing the demands of high-volume distribution and growing e-commerce (about 30% of sales), the company needed an open, flexible system to automate order entry, streamline complex quoting, pricing and labeling, and to measure department- and company-level KPIs.

G.L. Huyett implemented Epicor Prophet 21 and used its API, development tools and pricing library (plus Epicor DynaChange Designer and custom GS‑1 labels) to automate workflows and publish KPIs. The project streamlined order entry, quotations, packing, pricing and labeling, cut inventory by 20%, improved turns by 30%, raised service levels to 98%, reduced customer service workload, and sped quote turnaround and sales close rates.
