Case Study: E.C. Barton & Company achieves real-time insights and sales growth with Epicor BisTrack

Centuries-old lumber and building materials supplier makes proactive, educated business decisions with Epicor BisTrack software

E.C. Barton & Company is a centuries‑old lumber and building materials supplier (est. 1885) operating 104 stores across 17 states with five distinct divisions. Facing the need to modernize systems across diverse business models, the company sought a more intuitive, customizable platform to simplify employee onboarding, streamline reporting, and free managers from back‑office work so they could focus on sales and customer service.

In 2015 E.C. Barton implemented Epicor BisTrack, leveraging its Windows‑based interface, training resources and fast go‑live to rollout over 100 locations in one weekend. BisTrack’s customizable modules, dashboards and business‑intelligence tools enabled real‑time reporting, better inventory controls (suggested orders and margin management), faster onboarding and more time on the sales floor—driving improved efficiency, proactive decision‑making and measurable sales growth.
