Case Study: Allweather Wood achieves streamlined inventory management and tighter cost control with Epicor LumberTrack

Wood treater streamlines supply chain inventory management and improves cost control

Allweather Wood, a leading waterborne lumber pressure treater with five treating plants and a distribution center in the western U.S., needed to run efficient treated-wood manufacturing and distribution across four sister companies with different business models (sawmills, treaters, direct mill sales, and wholesale distribution). The company’s challenge was unifying inventory visibility, managing consignment/TSO and vendor-managed inventory, and capturing accurate chemical usage and costing while supporting diverse processes and reporting needs.

Allweather implemented Epicor LumberTrack as a single, configurable system and company-wide product database. LumberTrack delivered real-time inventory visibility across organizations, streamlined transfers, support for consignment and customer-owned inventory, precise chemical usage tracking and costing, custom reporting, improved employee productivity, tighter financial controls, and an ongoing technology partnership with Epicor.
