Case Study: EGL Homecare Limited achieves improved manufacturing visibility and 98.5% service levels with WinMan ERP

WinMan helps EGL Homecare stay ahead of the competition

EGL Homecare Limited, a European market leader in sponges, scourers and non-woven cloths with around 250 staff and over £22m turnover, faced tightening customer lead times (now around three days) and a demanding service target (>98.5% on‑time, in‑full). Their legacy Pegasus accounts package lacked stock control, MRP capability and plant/work‑order visibility, creating bottlenecks across receiving, manufacture, WIP flow and distribution. EGL selected WinMan ERP as the replacement to address these operational limits.

WinMan ERP was implemented (with consultant David Fisher), alongside hardware upgrades and a department-led training programme, to deliver true MRP, real-time visibility and improved planning. The WinMan ERP system eliminated routine manual stock checks, restored trust in stock data within 2–3 months, increased operational efficiency and agility for “what‑if” planning, and enabled EGL’s continued expansion while supporting their rigorous service commitments — benefits EGL’s MD says have been transformational even if not easily quantified.
