Case Study: Sterling Supply Company achieves cloud-enabled growth and operational resilience with Epicor Prophet 21 from Epicor

Sterling Supply Company - Customer Case Study

Sterling Supply Company, a long-running industrial supply distributor, needed a more reliable and secure ERP environment to replace its homegrown, disconnected systems and reduce concerns about data loss, downtime, and limited IT resources. The company had used Epicor Prophet 21 for decades, but wanted to modernize its deployment and strengthen business continuity.

Epicor moved Sterling Supply Company to Epicor Prophet 21 on Microsoft Azure Cloud, with a fast weekend migration and automatic updates. The change eliminated hardware worries, made remote work easier during COVID-19, and gave the company scalable capacity to support double-digit growth without adding headcount. Sterling also reported better visibility across customer, supplier, and inventory data, helping improve purchasing decisions and margins, while month-end closing was reduced to about 20 minutes.
