Epicor Software Corporation (NASDAQ: EPIC), a leading provider of
enterprise business software solutions for the midmarket and
divisions of Global 1000 companies, today announced that M. Holland
Company, North America's thermoplastic distributor of choice,
selected Epicor 9 Distribution as its enterprise resource planning
(ERP) and supply chain management (SCM) solution. Epicor will
enable M. Holland to be more efficient, provide better customer
service and improve its supplier communications.
Founded in 1950, M. Holland began as a small regional company.
By increasing staff, products, suppliers, geography and under great
leadership, M. Holland's distribution network evolved from a
regional company to a recognized force throughout North America.
Today, M. Holland is a leading thermoplastic resin distributor
serving customers from sales offices and distribution centers
throughout the United States and Canada. With more than 125
employees, the company works closely with its customers and
suppliers to deliver premium products and unparalleled service. As
the company continues to position itself for future growth, M.
Holland sought to modernize its ERP solution. As a distributor with
unique functional requirements, M. Holland recognized Epicor
Distribution as the best solution to empower its business.
"Epicor is extremely well regarded in the enterprise software
industry," said Bob Fredriksen, manager of information technology
for M. Holland Company. "With Epicor's latest distribution offering
we can achieve best practices in supply chain management and
modernize our business practices. From a functionality and
technology standpoint, Epicor is the best software system for the
midmarket."
Supplier relationships are critical to any organization, but
they are especially important to distributors. "Suppliers are like
customers to us," said Fredriksen as he explains the impact M.
Holland's suppliers can have on its bottom line. "A collaborative
working relationship with our suppliers is fundamental to our
business success." With Epicor, M. Holland looks forward to
improving its long-term supplier relationships. "Epicor will allow
us to better track what we are buying from our suppliers to meet
their needs, and in turn track our suppliers' performances to
ensure they meet our needs as well."
M. Holland conducted an extensive software selection process,
asking each vendor to demonstrate very specific scenarios,
including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, lot control and lot
costing, among other criteria. "Epicor presented the best practices
for meeting our critical distribution needs," said Fredriksen.
Optimizing M. Holland's supplier relationships and streamlining
its distribution processes is only the beginning. Looking ahead, M.
Holland plans to take the company as paperless as possible to
further maximize operational efficiency and minimize costs. With
Epicor, M. Holland is able to manage its entire distribution
processes in real-time via a near-paperless system, providing
complete visibility over its demand, supply and everything in
between. Reducing dependence on paperwork will accelerate the
decision-making process, providing the ultimate cost- and
time-efficient business environment.
"We are very pleased that M. Holland has chosen Epicor to help
meet their unique distribution needs," said James Norwood, senior
vice president of product marketing for Epicor. "M. Holland fully
understands that a comprehensive value chain, one that seamlessly
incorporates supply and demand-side processes and relationships is
critical to business success. With Epicor Distribution, M. Holland
gains a powerful end-to-end value chain resource that offers
complete business visibility and transparency, ultimately helping
drive greater responsiveness, accuracy and performance."
