Real-World AI for ERP: Distribution Industry Case Study
A growing regional distributor using Epicor Prophet 21 struggled with maintaining optimal stock levels across multiple warehouses. Frequent stockouts and overstocking created inefficiencies that impacted both revenue and customer satisfaction.
“Estes AI completely changed the way we use Prophet 21. What used to take hours of manual forecasting now happens in seconds—with more accuracy than we ever had before. Our buyers are more confident, our stock levels are tighter, and our team has more time to focus on customer relationships instead of spreadsheets. EstesGroup truly understands the distribution business.”
By implementing Estes AI, the company connected real-time sales trends, seasonal patterns, and supplier lead times directly into their forecasting model. Within three months, they saw the following benefits of AI integration with P21:
- A 22% improvement in forecast accuracy
- A 30% reduction in excess inventory
- Faster PO generation with AI-driven reorder recommendations
- Increased fill rate performance and customer retention
EstesGroup brings clarity to complexity—empowering an ERP system like Prophet 21 with purpose-built artificial intelligence that turns data into decisions, strategy into action, and your systems into a competitive advantage.
