Epicor presented the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA) Channel Excellence Award to Hahn Automotive and BBB Industries during the 2020 AASA Vision Conference.
The annual award recognizes innovative, collaborative initiatives that drive mutual growth for participants within the automotive parts and service industry.
The winning project involved a comprehensive analysis of rotating electric products sold through 28 Hahn store locations. Utilizing data collected through the distributor’s Epicor Eagle and Vision solutions in conjunction with the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance Data Warehouse and Inventory Optimization Tool, BBB’s category management team developed SKU- and market-specific inventory models that resulted in a 10.2% increase in sales dollars, 5.8% decrease in inventory on hand, and 12.8% increase in inventory turns.
Other finalists for the 2020 award were channel partners DRiV Incorporated and Auto-Wares; and NGK Spark Plugs (U.S.A), Inc. and XL Parts.
