Case Study: Holt & Bugbee achieves faster fulfillment and precise inventory control with DMSi Software (Agility)

Holt & Bugbee - Customer Case Study

Holt & Bugbee, a five‑generation hardwood lumber remanufacturing and distribution company with 55 users across three Northeast locations, needed an ERP with lumber‑specific functionality to improve inventory accuracy and speed for roughly 2,500 customers. To address this challenge they selected DMSi Software’s Agility (locally hosted) business accounting system.

DMSi Software implemented Agility in 2008 with end‑tally tracking and handheld mobile units to capture piece‑level data by thickness, width, length or board footage and bring it into the system in real time. The solution tightened inventory control and visibility, automated manual lists (turning handwritten tallies into quick Excel imports), shortened processing and shipping times, and delivered measurable cost‑savings and a speed advantage that helped Holt & Bugbee retain customers during the downturn.
