Epicor Helps North American Lumber Integrate Operations

North American Lumber is a privately owned lumber and building products company that has been serving professional builders and do-it-yourselfers in western Canada for over 100 years. Fourth generation President, Martha Konantz, led the company’s efforts to implement Epicor's BisTrack as the single business management system across all operations - which previously had been running numerous different software and manual systems.

With 19 stores and lumberyard locations across Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario as well as a concrete plant, a truss plant and two ready-to-move home building facilities, North American Lumber’s management team needed Epicor BisTrack to bring additional levels of control over their business processes, and create a study, real-time link from the cash register to the GL. As a result of the implementation, managers appreciate the ability to access Epicor BisTrack and information about all their operations and inventory from anywhere with an internet connection—regardless of which branch they are at or whether they’re on the road. With accurate, up-to-the minute information, customer inquiries can be met quickly.

Additional benefits experienced by North American Lumber include:
• the ability to consolidate data from all operations
• processes are now standardized and integrated • great efficiencies and cost savings experienced throughout company
• GMROI up 6%
• improved cash flow
• refined rebate program management
• enhanced contractor services
