The ROI and Operational Efficiency Gains of Wire Cutting Automation for Electrical Distributors
Modernizing wire cutting with automation, Epicor Prophet 21, and structured workflows eliminates these challenges while unlocking measurable return on investment (ROI) and significant operational efficiency gains.
Material Savings and Reduced Waste (Immediate ROI)
Wire is one of the highest-value inventory items electrical distributors carry. Every inch matters, and every mistake cost money.
Automation Reduces Waste
- Tracks reel footage in real time
- Prevents over-cutting and miscuts
- Ensures drops are used before opening a new reel
ROI Impact: Less scrap + fewer lost remnants = thousands of dollars saved annually and higher gross margin retention.
Increased Billing Accuracy (Revenue Protection)
Manual wire cutting often leads to under-billing due to rounding errors, missing measurements, or undocumented cuts.
Automation Improves Billing
- Linking pricing directly to actual footage cut
- Printing labels with job/customer details automatically
- Preventing lost documentation
ROI Impact: More accurate billing ensures distributors capture every dollar of revenue for every cut, no more revenue leakage.
Faster Fulfillment & Higher Warehouse Throughput
Manual wire workflows slow down the entire warehouse, from picking to staging to shipping. Automation eliminates unnecessary steps and rework.
Efficiency Gains
- System-generated cut tickets
- Standardized cutting instructions
- Fewer re-cuts and corrections
Operational Impact: Warehouse teams can process more orders in less time, supporting growth without increasing labor.
