Case Study: Mendocino Forest Products achieves stronger financial controls and reduced IT & EDI costs with Epicor LumberTrack

Shared IT resources using Epicor LumberTrack improve financial controls and reduce costs for sister companies

Mendocino Forest Products and its sister companies (including Allweather Wood, Coos Head Forest Products and Humboldt and Mendocino Redwood Companies) are a leading supplier of redwood and treated wood in the western U.S., operating sawmills, treating plants and distribution centers from Windsor, California. They needed a common wood‑products software platform to capture supply‑chain efficiencies, share corporate IT and administrative resources, and improve inventory visibility and financial controls across the affiliated businesses.

They implemented Epicor LumberTrack as a single ERP and consolidated database, giving real‑time visibility into inventories and work orders across companies, faster and more reliable financial reporting, and easier employee training. The move reduced IT and EDI costs (including retiring a server and fewer circuits), eliminated the need for added administrative headcount despite volume growth, simplified analysis with built‑in reporting tools, and provided direct vendor support.
