Hardwood Manufacturer And Distributor Yoder Lumber Optimizes Inventory With Epicor

Yoder Lumber manufactures and supplies top-quality Appalachian hardwood products. Their two state-of-the-art sawmills in Buckhorn and Charm, Ohio produce green and kiln-dried lumber, S4S and dimension lumber for internal consumption in their millwork and moulding facilities in Buckhorn and Berlin, Ohio, as well for regional distribution and domestic and export wholesale.

Yoder Lumber has used Epicor LumberTrack software since 2000 to keep track of the wide variety of hardwood products they sell, and to manage their inventory control at each location and through each stage of production. In addition, Yoder Lumber experiences better customer service as a result of real-time sales, customer, and inventory information.

Buckhorn location manager Trent Yoder says they’re continuing to find ways to take advantage of the evolving platform and functionality advancements of Epicor LumberTrack software. “We’re implementing Epicor LumberTrack FiberTrack to track log inventory in our log yards at Charm and Buckhorn. And we’re undertaking a Business Process Review in the coming months, which will help identify the most beneficial enhancements for us.” With over 12 MMBF of production, in a wide range of species, grades and dimensions, having detailed inventory and bundle information visible to all Epicor LumberTrack software users makes planning and sales personnel more efficient and effective.

Yoder commends the Epicor team that develops and supports the LumberTrack product and its user base. “The people that support the Epicor LumberTrack software have been great. More than a working relationship, we’ve developed friendships over the years.”
