Fulford operates a gourmet kitchenware/hardware store and a separate RONA lumber and building materials center. The company replaced paper-based special order tracking with Epicor Eagle, eliminating lost orders and giving staff real-time status visibility. Central purchasing combined with automated stock balancing across sites reduced inventory while maintaining service levels. Back-office invoice processing dropped from three employees to one through automated emailing, faxing, and document management.
