J.M. Delaney Lumber replaced its legacy ECS Pro system with Epicor Eagle to gain integrated accounting, improved reporting, and seamless data exchange with third-party estimating tools. The implementation delivered measurable savings through reduced paper use, faster statement processing, and fewer data entry errors. Inventory accuracy improved as order quantities became system-driven rather than memory-based, while training time for new staff dropped from one week to one day using Epicor Web modules.
