Manning Building Supplies BisTrack Implementation Case Study
Case study of Manning Building Supplies implementing Epicor BisTrack to improve margin analysis, branch reporting, and problem resolution across eight locations.
Manning Building Supplies, a professional builder supplier with eight locations, deployed Epicor BisTrack to gain daily visibility into special order margins, inventory transfers, and branch P&Ls. The software replaced rigid legacy reporting with flexible OLAP cubes and search tools, cutting month-end close by ten days and enabling managers to resolve pricing, credit, and inventory issues in real time. Key outcomes include higher discretionary margins on special orders and faster variance analysis.
