Case Study: Schoeneman's Building Materials Center achieves 50% faster POS and major labor savings with Epicor Eagle

Schoeneman's Building Materials Center - Customer Case Study

Schoeneman’s Building Materials Center is a family‑owned lumber and building‑supply business founded in 1888 with two locations in South Dakota. Facing inefficient, manual processes that wasted time and labor—sales tickets were rehandled multiple times, inventory had to be counted by hand, and multi‑location coordination was slow—the company needed a modern system to stay competitive and streamline operations.

Schoeneman’s implemented Epicor Eagle, which immediately sped point‑of‑sale transactions by 50% and cut estimate processing to less than half the previous time. The system delivered precise inventory visibility (SKU lookup across locations in seconds), simplified multi‑location transfers, reduced labor hours (manager days from 12 to 8), and improved special‑order margins—resulting in higher productivity and significant cost savings.
