It’s our last morning at Epicor Insights for Building Supply & Retail 2025, and we’ve had a blast talking with dealers about creating a modern digital experience for their Pro customers, all synced with their Epicor ERP.

What have most of our conversations circled around so far?

1. Getting order chaos out of inboxes and into a clean workflow
2. Giving Pros a simple way to self-serve quotes, orders, and payments
3. Making AR less painful for the office team

If you’re still at the show this morning, swing by our booth, say hi to the team, and see how Toolbx plugs into your Epicor setup!

The Pro market is moving fast.

Consolidation, new platforms, and shifting strategies are all aimed at one thing: winning more of the contractor business.

Independent dealers already have the trusted relationships. What they need are the digital tools that make contractors’ lives easier and keep them coming back.

That’s why Do it Best selected TOOLBX as their preferred Pro Platform partner. Together, we’re helping contractors get the modern experience they expect while ensuring independents remain the go-to partner for Pros.

Russ Kathrein, VP of Lumber & Building Materials at Do it Best put it clearly:

"Toolbx brings modern digital functionality that aligns with how pros want to work. It outperforms every other option on the market, and it’s built to keep evolving alongside us and our dealers for years to come."

From 30 trucks to 83 trucks in just a few years.

We toured Dufrene Building Materials Inc in Thibodaux, Louisiana to understand how this third-generation family business doubled their delivery fleet while maintaining their reputation for customer service.

What makes them different:
→ Project 6:30 (trucks staged nightly) ✅
→ Stock 40ft boards (most stop at 16ft) ✅
→ White-label their best sellers ✅
→ Contractor-only sales area ✅

Brad (COO) started as a forklift operator 26 years ago and now oversees this operation. His insight: "Customer service is our game. That's what we strive for."

We love visiting and learning from dealers like Dufrene who prioritize customer service 👊

Big congrats to the teams at Hammond Lumber Company, Hamilton Building Supply, Ashby Lumber, Dakota County Lumber Co., Arnold Lumber Company, and Orange County Building Materials, Inc. for landing on LBM Journal's 40 Under 40.

No surprise to anyone on our side of the Zoom🧑‍💻

We see the early-morning integration calls, the lunch-hour check-in screen-shares...all because they know their customers expect more, and they show up to do the work to deliver it.

That's exactly the kind of forward-thinking that drives our industry, and honestly it's why we're all-in on building with you.

Congrats to Sadie, Mike, Chantel, Scott, Chris, Luke and all those recognized 👏

How do you make builders feel like they're your #1 priority?

Don't start rolling out the red carpet. It's often not about special treatment.

Sometimes it's just about getting the basic stuff right:

Reliability ✅ — accurate inventory and pricing
Transparency ✅ — real-time order notifications and delivery tracking
Control ✅ — self-serve portal and online bill payments

Listen to our CEO Erik on the Smarter Building Materials Marketing podcast with Beth and Zach from Venveo discussing how his builder experience shaped our approach: doing the basic stuff extraordinarily well with tech.

“We really wanted this to be an idea area.”

That was the goal for Healdsburg Lumber Company's new space — a place where contractors and homeowners can sit down, go over plans, and work through choices together.

Decking, trim, finishings — everything is laid out and easy to access. The layout makes the process smoother for everyone involved.
