Case Study: Alexander Lumber Company achieves 2% gross margin increase and 67% reduction in head office accounting staff with Epicor BisTrack

Alexander Lumber Company - Customer Case Study

Alexander Lumber Company, a Wisconsin-based LBM dealer with 25 yards, two truss plants and a countertop division, struggled with disparate software from growth by acquisition. Inconsistent inventory and pricing, poor visibility into special orders, duplicated entry between systems, and slow financial reporting made it difficult to manage margins and centralized buying effectively.

They implemented Epicor BisTrack with role-specific dashboards, centralized pricing/buying, unique tracking for special orders, and integration with design and work-order processes. The result: a 2-point increase in gross margin, a 67% reduction in head-office accounting staff (and redeployment of clerical roles), faster P&L reporting, improved costing and inventory visibility, and standardized processes across locations.
