Epicor BisTrack alternative for LBM businesses
If you're currently using Epicor BisTrack - or actively researching alternatives - you’re in good company. Across the industry, more LBM companies are starting to re-evaluate whether their current ERP is still the right fit for where they’re heading next.

Why LBM businesses are exploring alternatives to BisTrack
Many established systems, including Epicor BisTrack, were built for a different era of the industry. While they still support core operations, vendors are increasingly shifting investment away from on-premise systems and focusing future development - innovation, new features, product roadmaps - on cloud-based platforms.
If you're currently using an on-premise system, you need to decide:
- Stay on your current system, but expect slower innovation going forward
- Or take the opportunity to explore platforms built for where the industry's heading now
And if you're still running a separate financial system alongside your ERP, this decision matters even more. It's a chance to step back and ask: if you're investing in the future anyway, is a system that adds more integrations, reconciliations and complexity really the right long-term platform for you?
Where you go from here is up to you
Managing inventory across yards, handling pricing variations, coordinating deliveries, and maintaining real-time visibility across locations puts pressure on systems that weren’t designed with modern flexibility in mind.
At the same time, expectations have changed:
- Faster performance
- Better usability
- Seamless integrations
- More responsive support
It’s not just about keeping the system running - it’s about enabling the business to move forward.

What to look for in an Epicor BisTrack alternative
Here are some of the key areas LBM businesses are focusing on:(not just web access)
- Not all “cloud” systems are created equal.
- Some platforms offer web access layered on top of legacy architecture. Others (like GenetiQ) are built cloud-native from the ground up, designed for performance, scalability, and continuous improvement.
- Modern ERP platforms are moving toward built-in flexibility, allowing your team to configure reports, workflows, and automations without relying on developers.
- This reduces friction and lowers long-term cost.
- In LBM environments, small delays add up.
- Even seconds spent loading products, processing orders, or printing documents can turn into hours across teams and locations.
- Your ERP should act as a connected hub, not a silo - linking operations, finance, and customer data seamlessly.
- Beyond technology, the experience of working with your ERP provider matters.
- Many businesses are placing more value on responsive support, direct relationships, and partners who understand how their business operates.
- Your ERP shouldn't become a technology island. Whether you're integrating ecommerce, supplier systems, mobile apps, AI tools or future technologies, your ERP should make that straightforward.
- It should have an open API (like GenetiQ) that makes integration simple and future-proofs your investment, so your business isn't limited by your software.
Why LBM businesses are choosing GenetiQ
GenetiQ is a modern ERP platform built specifically for LBM businesses that want to move beyond the limitations of traditional systems.
Many LBM businesses don't just run one system. They run an ERP, a finance package, a CRM, separate reporting tools, spreadsheets and custom integrations tying everything together.
GenetiQ was built differently.
- ERP.
- Financials.
- CRM.
- Business metrics.
- Point of sale.
- Workflow automation.
One platform.
One database.
One login.
One version of the truth.
GenetiQ is built from the ground up as a cloud-native platform, combining modern technology with over 30 years of industry experience.
That means:
- Faster performance
- Continuous updates and improvements
- A system designed to scale with your business
One of the biggest differences our customers notice isn’t just the software - it’s the experience.
At GenetiQ, we take a human, partnership-driven approach, where:
- You work with real people who understand LBM

For LBM businesses, the demands on ERP systems are only increasing.
As operations grow more complex, the need for:
- Real-time visibility
- Seamless integration
- Scalable infrastructure
becomes critical.
While systems like Epicor BisTrack continue to support many businesses, others are choosing to move toward platforms that offer greater flexibility, performance, and a more modern foundation.
GenetiQ is designed to give your team control over how the system works.
You can:
- Build and customise reports
- Set up automations
- Adjust workflows and processes
- Faster execution
- Lower ongoing costs
…without needing a developer for every change.
The result:
A system that adapts to your business - not the other way around
Every ERP has a history.
The more important question is whether it's the platform you want to build your future on.
For businesses evaluating Epicor BisTrack today, the decision isn't about the desktop product that earned its reputation over the last two decades.
It's about the platform, roadmap and technology you'll be relying on over the next ten years.
That's why many LBM businesses are choosing a modern cloud-native platform designed for continuous improvement, flexibility and long-term innovation.
