Ryan Building Products, a Westwood, Massachusetts contractor-focused supplier of exterior building products, implemented Epicor BisTrack to gain real-time inventory visibility across its warehouse and delivery trucks. The system enabled field sales from mobile inventory locations, reduced inventory carrying costs without increasing stockouts, and cut year-end physical counts by half. Flexible pricing, customer notes, and rapid search capabilities allowed faster order fulfillment and stronger contractor relationships. Hosted deployment eliminated on-premise server risk and delivered predictable IT costs.
