Case Study: Heckmann Corporation achieves major time savings and enterprise-wide financial visibility with Epicor XL Connect and Epicor XL Broadcast

Generates Savings, Gains Insights with Epicor XL Connect and Epicor XL Broadcast

Heckmann Corporation, a Coraopolis, PA–based environmental services firm with more than 3,000 employees operating across 70+ locations, was growing rapidly through acquisitions and new lines of business but was held back by static, time‑consuming financial reporting that required heavy manual maintenance and limited the accounting team’s ability to focus on higher‑value work.

Heckmann implemented Epicor ERP with Epicor XL Connect and Epicor XL Broadcast to generate live, drill‑down reports in a native Excel environment and to automate distribution of up to 50 reports by location or role. The change delivered immediate results: visibility across nine entities (81 branches), dramatic time savings (about 40 hours/month or roughly 1/4 FTE), minimal training, and an ROI within six months — freeing accounting staff to concentrate on value‑added analysis.
