LBM company improves with software

When Milwaukee Builders Supply rolled out its latest business management software, the company had no intention of interrupting sales in any way.

Mission accomplished, according to the Wisconsin-based LBM distributor and the software provider Dancik International. Milwaukee launched Dancik’s K8 to support what is described as the dealer’s rapid growth.

“A week after go live we are already able to see how K8 will help our company run more efficiently and have a clear picture of all inventory movement,” said John Lambie, president of Milwaukee Builders Supply.

“We are delighted to partner with MBS and support their business management needs. MBS evaluated K8 against many competitors and was confident K8 was the right software for their growing business, “ said Alan Cross, executive VP of North America for Kerridge Commercial Systems, parent of Dancik.

The biggest concern for Milwaukee Builders Supply was that day to day sales not be negatively impacted by the go live process, both companies said.

“My team is quickly learning with the support of the K8 team,” added Lambie. “I have no doubt that within a short time we will be fully functional on our own.”

Dancik International is a provider of integrated software solutions, focused on servicing the building materials, lumber, floor coverings, home décor, electrical and plumbing distribution, wholesale and retail markets.
