Driftwood Garden Center-Epicor Eagle N Series

Driftwood Garden Center streamlines operations with intuitive capabilities and extensive analytics found in Epicor Eagle N Series

Since 1984, the Hazelett family has owned Driftwood Garden Center, with two locations in Florida-Naples and Estero, which opened in 1998. Driftwood Garden Center's full-service garden centers offer a wide selection of plants, holiday and gifts, florist, water gardens, gardening classes, and landscape installations. The retailer offers beautiful showrooms that delight customers who enjoy walking through for inspiration. For more than 10 years, Driftwood Garden Center has relied on its Epicor Eagle business management solution to run both retail locations. With a fast-growing company and intricate back office requirements at hand, Driftwood Garden Center decided to implement the new Epicor Eagle N Series solution to enhance operations.

"Epicor Eagle N Series is a tool that makes running a lawn and garden business vastly efficient. As a business that just recently launched the new solution, we can already see it improving the way we do business-especially in our back office operations with access to real-time data and enhanced reporting features."

Realizing immediate results in back office operations

The Epicor Eagle N Series software is a complete, fully integrated solution that helps lawn and garden retailers streamline automated processing of special orders, support increase profits with integrated inventory management, deliver information quickly and accurately with innovative business analytics, and more. "The simplified and clean look of Eagle N Series is really what initially drew us to the solution," said Brad Hazelett, co-owner of Driftwood Garden Center. "But once we were introduced to the new analytics integration and improved label printing features, we couldn't turn away. We have a tremendous amount of stock that requires labels-tree labels, flat labels, and more-so having a solution that can make this aspect of our business more efficient is a huge benefit. Our staff saves around five hours a week now because of this enhanced feature."

With better access to business analytics, independent retail business owners and managers very quickly recognize bottom-line benefits. "Epicor Eagle N Series is a tool that makes running a lawn and garden business vastly efficient," said Hazelett.
