Barton's new store in Conway, Ark.
The 2019 Technology Innovation winner is E.C. Barton & Company for its use of Epicor BisTrack. With the implementation of BisTrack, E.C. Barton has been able to shorten the employee on-boarding program, allowing the company to attract and keep talent. In response to changing customer preferences and to compete with other major retailers, the company implemented BisTrack email payment links and integrated their eCommerce site to their BisTrack ERP with an integration package from Epicor.
E.C. Barton’s charity of choice is the Northeast Arkansas Humane Association.
“What opened in 1885 as a grocery store has since grown to 104 stores supplying lumber and building materials across 17 states,” said Bryan Tucker, director of IT, E.C. Barton & Company. “Through the implementation of Epicor BisTrack, we were able to improve the overall customer experience. The results speak for themselves— eCommerce is trending towards $2.5 million in its first year and email payment links finished the year at $12.5 million.”
