As we celebrate 80 years of Lee Rain, we're looking back at how technology has transformed the way we do business.
This photo, taken sometime between 1985 and 1988, shows a large stack of customer invoices waiting to be priced at the end of the month. Before computers became part of daily operations, every invoice for customers with open accounts had to be reviewed, priced by hand, and prepared for mailing, a process that required significant time and attention to detail.
Today, Lee Rain uses an integrated ERP system that connects every aspect of our business, from Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable to purchasing, inventory, sales, service, and projects. What once took hours of manual work is now streamlined through technology, allowing us to serve our customers more efficiently.
As we look back on our history, it's exciting to think about how future innovations, including AI, will continue to shape the next chapter of Lee Rain.
