Case Study: Lake States Lumber Company achieves improved inventory accuracy and multi-location visibility with Epicor BisTrack

Value-added wholesale distributor of quality building products plans growth with Epicor BisTrack software

Lake States Lumber Company, a value‑added wholesale distributor of building materials based in Sparta, WI with five locations and 160 employees, needed to upgrade its business software to keep pace with growth. The company struggled with inventory accuracy, real‑time company‑wide stock visibility, FSC chain‑of‑custody tracking, and coordinating transfers and light manufacturing across multiple sites.

They implemented Epicor BisTrack, leveraging the Journey Planner and work‑order processing to centralize inventory, enforce permissions, and manage FSC compliance. The solution delivered improved inventory accuracy and product history visibility, better cost control, streamlined inter‑location coordination and deliveries, faster audit trails and research, and measurable time savings across the business.
