Case Study: Abilene Machine achieves 10% revenue growth and lowers inventory with Tecsys' Elite™ Distribution ERP

Elite™ Distribution ERP Enables Abilene Machine to Grow Sales While Lowering Inventory Levels

Abilene Machine, a long-standing distributor of recycled, remanufactured and new farm-equipment parts with five U.S. locations and international sales, was struggling to support steady 5% annual growth. An expanding product line, foreign-sourced parts with 120–240 day lead times, and reliance on manual spreadsheets and legacy systems made demand planning, production scheduling and inventory control increasingly difficult.

Abilene implemented Tecsys’ Elite™ Distribution ERP on the cloud—adding automated, best-fit forecasting, MRP, just-in-time replenishment, centralized administration and cross-functional training. Within a year revenue rose 10%, inventory declined 3%, revenue per employee increased 16%, and the company gained better production planning, order visibility, fewer lost sales and a more scalable, resilient IT platform.
