Edges Electrical Group finds its competitive advantage with data insights

Edges Electrical Group, an American industrial electrical distributor, relies on Phocas Analytics to drive financial reporting and analysis across sales, inventory, warehouse management and custom job management databases. For VP of Purchasing and Inventory Daron Brown, data has become the key differentiator in a competitive market. "It's no longer just about price and stock availability, but about understanding what the business does well and using those insights to deliver something unique to customers."

Phocas is embedded in daily operations across every department at Edges, used for goal-tracking, self-evaluation and to make good decisions. The Phocas BI platform gives the team visibility into anomalies and trends as well as sends alerts when key events occur so they can act fast.

For Daron, Phocas is simply non-negotiable and the ROI is what would be lost without it. One the things he likes best about Phocas "is how easy to use and intuitive it is right out of the gate."
