Case Study: National Door Industries, Inc. reduces inventory 50% and boosts profitability with Epicor ERP

Manufacturer-distributor stays on top of inventory with Epicor ERP

National Door Industries, Inc., a Fort Worth manufacturer-distributor of decorative and functional garage door parts (about 9,000 SKUs and 70 employees), was hampered by a legacy DOS system and spreadsheets that couldn’t track customer histories, trends, or inventory efficiently. The company needed a database that could cross-reference parts by class, group, size and customer purchases to reduce excess stock and improve profitability.

Implementing Epicor ERP with customized entry screens and cross-referencing capabilities allowed National Door to organize inventory, improve forecasting, and tie manufacturing to seasonal demand. The company cut physical inventory by 50% over three years while maintaining daily production, sped order fulfillment, eliminated duplicate billing and shipping labor, and gained clearer cost visibility to adjust pricing or retire underperforming lines.
