Scaling Automotive Wholesale with Custom ERP Extensions
Candid Auto Parts Inc. is a leading automotive wholesaler based in Oakville, Ontario, serving over a hundred business customers with high-volume, precision logistics.
The Challenge
"The team relied on Epicor, an industry-standard POS/ERP solution, for their daily sales. However, as their wholesale operations grew, they found Epicor's core functionality too rigid for their specialized after-sale requirements and real-time vendor procurement needs."
The Solution
NexaOpen architected and implemented a high-performance middleware system powered by Python and MySQL. This custom engine integrates directly with Epicor to allow real-time vendor purchasing, flexible order modification post-sale, and dynamic inventory synchronization.
Execution Highlights
Direct ERP Bridge
Seamlessly fetching and pushing data to Epicor without disrupting existing sales workflows.
Vendor Procurement Engine
Automated real-time purchasing from multiple vendors based on custom inventory thresholds.
Order Flexibility
Introduced the ability to modify order information and adjust inventory levels with millisecond precision.
Technology Stack applied
Key Outcomes
100% Real-time visibility into vendor inventory across multiple channels
30% Acceleration in order fulfillment times for wholesale business clients
Eliminated manual data entry errors by 95% through automated ERP synchronization
