Case Study: Satterwhite Log Homes streamlines complex lumber inventory and sales with Flowtrac

Satterwhite Log Homes saves hours of labor and paper with Flowtrac

Satterwhite Log Homes, a leading national log home builder, faced significant challenges managing its complex and growing inventory of raw lumber and custom-built homes. Their unique, environmentally conscious process of using naturally fallen trees required sophisticated software that could handle specialized tasks like board footage conversions, location-based taxing, and integration with Salesforce. Existing off-the-shelf inventory solutions were too rigid and could not accommodate their specific operational needs, leading to cumbersome paperwork and inefficiencies. Flowtrac provided a customized inventory tracking solution to address these challenges.

Flowtrac implemented a detailed and robust system that included the necessary customizations, Salesforce integration, and mobile scanning devices for warehouse staff. The solution provided specialized sales orders, accounts receivable, and return order tracking. As a result, Satterwhite saved hours of labor, reduced paper use, and optimized its lumber usage with better reporting and real-time inventory visibility. Flowtrac's onsite consulting and training enabled the company to streamline its processes, allowing warehouse and office staff to work more efficiently and manage vendor orders and inventory quantities considerably better.
