Case Study: MWP Supply, Inc. achieves 20% inventory reduction and 2% gross profit increase with Epicor

Reduced Inventory by 20% and Improved Gross Profit by 2%

MWP Supply Inc., a single-location home center in Madison, Virginia serving primarily contractors, needed to maintain high customer service levels while pricing competitively and using data to make better buying and merchandising decisions. Managing inventory, identifying underperforming SKUs, and reacting quickly to competitor pricing were particular challenges.

By deploying Epicor Eagle and related tools—Inventory Planner, Pricing Planner, Performance Manager, Mobile Manager, and Compass—MWP gained real-time forecasting, mobile access, competitor price scanning, and actionable dashboards. The results: a 20% reduction in inventory with no increase in stockouts, improved turns, and a 2% increase in gross profit after a targeted 3% storewide price adjustment.
