Granite City Electric Supply Co., Inc Tech Stack
Regional electrical distributor across Northeast with 31 branches
Granite City Electric operates a 31-branch electrical supply network across six Northeast states, with a sales-heavy workforce managing inventory, vendor relationships, and customer quotations. The tech stack—Epicor ERP, Power BI, Tableau, SQL—reflects a legacy distribution business focused on operational visibility rather than modernization; no adopting or replacing signals suggest incremental improvement over platform overhaul. Active projects cluster around inventory discipline (aged stock reduction, cross-dock optimization, rapid reel tracking) and sales efficiency (quotation turnaround, branch planning), indicating internal friction between supply-chain costs and revenue capture.
