Yoder Lumber operates two sawmills and two manufacturing plants producing green, kiln-dried, and dimension hardwood. Since 2000 the company has used Epicor LumberTrack to tag and track raw material, WIP, and finished goods. The system provides a single pool of inventory, sales, and accounting data, enabling faster order processing, bundle searches by specification, and automated GL entries. Production and sales teams use handheld end-tally capture and Quick Answer Lists for planning and analysis.
