Spahn & Rose Lumber Company, a 99 million dollar building materials distributor with 25 stores, engaged Epicor Business Accelerator after five years on the Falcon system. A two-day on-site review produced an action plan covering pricing rules, margin reporting, returned special order visibility, and automated Andersen iQ quoting and purchasing. Reported outcomes include one to two percent margin gains and one hour saved per Andersen order.

Key takeaways

Business Accelerator delivered a prioritized action plan with hundreds of process and system recommendations.

Margin control improved through price rounding rules, Do it Best downloads, and Falcon margin reports.

Returned special order SKUs became visible in the system, enabling resale instead of write-offs.

Andersen iQ interface automation reduced quoting, invoicing, and purchasing time by at least one hour per order.

Follow-up teleconferences kept the 25-store operation on track after the initial two-day engagement.
