US LBM Holdings replaced a custom ERP system with Epicor Catalyst following the 2009 acquisition of 15 lumber and building materials locations. The project included data conversion of inventory, customer, and sales records, plus training for 830 employees across Wisconsin, Connecticut, and New York. Epicor completed go-live on February 1, 2010, with on-site trainers at each site. The case study details project management, training methods, and post-go-live expansion plans for document management and dispatch modules.
