Case Study: REAMS Sprinkler Supply Co. Inc. achieves 35% inventory reduction and 20% productivity gain with Epicor Eclipse

REAMS Sprinkler Supply Co. Inc. - Customer Case Study

REAMS Sprinkler Supply Co. Inc., a Lincoln, Nebraska–based irrigation and landscaping distributor founded in 1963, operates 8 locations with 35 employees serving Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. Facing a 15‑year‑old legacy system, REAMS needed real‑time information to improve inventory management and boost employee productivity.

After selecting Epicor Eclipse ERP, REAMS completed extensive data conversion and staged training (20 hours classroom + 10 hours online per user) and went live in May 2009. The solution delivered quick results: in‑season inventory fell 35% (with even larger year‑end reductions), inventory turns improved by 1.5, and employee productivity rose about 20% thanks to accurate real‑time data and tools like the Suggested PO Queue.
