Sears Trostel leverages Epicor BisTrack for higher margins and better cost control in millwork and distribution business

Sears Trostel Lumber and Millwork, a Fort Collins, Colorado manufacturer and distributor of mouldings, lumber and flooring serving wholesale, contractor and retail customers, needed a business management system that supported its lean manufacturing practices and improved cost control and operational visibility.

They implemented Epicor BisTrack, which streamlined processes and BI reporting—eliminating one FTE through integrated dispatch visibility, speeding purchasing and transfer replenishment 6–8×, cutting PO prep from two hours to 15–20 minutes, reducing freight by consolidating orders, raising retail margins by three percentage points, and achieving 98% on-time deliveries with fewer stock shortages.
