ERP Built for Tier 2 & Tier 3 Automotive Suppliers

Epicor ERP through Encompass gave us the production control we needed without enterprise-level complexity. We can now respond to Tier 1 schedule changes in hours, not days, and our on-time delivery has improved by 23%.

The traceability features in Epicor have been a game-changer for our stamping operation. We passed our IATF audit with zero findings, and our customers have noticed the improvement in our quality documentation.

As a Tier 3 supplier, we needed visibility into our true costs by part and customer. Epicor's job costing showed us we were losing money on two programs. We renegotiated pricing and improved our margins by 4 points.

Encompass understood the pressure we face from constant demand changes. They configured Epicor's MRP to handle our variable schedules, and we cut our material shortage incidents by 60% in the first six months.

We were drowning in manual processes and spreadsheets. Epicor ERP scaled with us as we added two new Tier 1 customers and expanded to a second facility—without replacing our system or doubling our IT staff.

The finite scheduling in Epicor gives us real visibility into late jobs before they become customer issues. We can proactively communicate with our Tier 1 customers and protect those relationships.

Encompass configured our scrap and rework tracking to tie directly to jobs and suppliers. We identified our top three quality issues and reduced scrap costs by $180K annually. The ROI was clear within eight months.

Epicor ERP was right-sized for our machining operation. We got automotive-grade traceability and quality tools without paying for features built for OEMs. Encompass made sure the system fit our business, not the other way around.
