Outil PAC Is One of Canada’s Largest
Industrial Tools Distribution Network
In business for over thirty years now, the company grew out of the merger of three partners. Their idea? To support the growing needs of the construction industry by developing a seamless industrial tool distribution service spanning Canada.
The three partners drew on their knowledge of the industry to find a solution that covered all the challenges faced by the various trades in the construction field. In 1996, these challenges and values led to the creation of Outil PAC, a pan-Canadian industrial tools distribution company.
Today, its mission is much the same—to help its customers succeed by efficiently providing them with all the industrial tools they need to carry out their work.
The Company Faced a Number of Challenges
One of these was the apparent need to standardize certain practices across the organization since each location operated independently and had its own processes.
Another was the lack of a formal purchasing system at Outil PAC. Epicor Prophet 21 was an ideal, fully integrated solution to remediate the situation rapidly since two of its features could be used to standardize various practices and improve the overall inventory management strategy.
P21 enables us to anticipate future needs.
