Case Study: Howe Corporation achieves streamlined operations and real-time business insight with Epicor ERP

Howe Corporation Selects Epicor To Streamline Business Efficiencies Through Real-Time Business Insight

Howe Corporation, a family-owned refrigeration and ice machine manufacturer founded in 1912 and based in Chicago, needed a modern, collaborative manufacturing platform to replace aging systems and streamline data flow from the shop floor through the organization. With about 50 employees, the company sought an ERP that would scale with growth, improve business processes, and provide real-time visibility across departments.

Howe implemented Epicor ERP (live August 2009), gaining end-to-end visibility, robust forecasting/MRP/APS, automated routing, and product data management. The result: better inventory control, streamlined shop-floor operations, faster customer response, improved product costing and data management, and measurable cost savings while maintaining scalability for future growth.
