WoodPro Software Inc. has been working with businesses like yours for over 20 years. We understand the demands of our industry. Running a single system across both your back-office functions and your customer-facing operations can ultimately translate back into consistently higher service levels and margins.

This is a question you need your vendors to help you answer – and answer thoroughly – before you purchase an enterprise business management solution. The truth is, business management software should be highly adaptable, allowing changes that regularly occur in your business to be made quickly, easily, and cost-effectively, like WoodPro InSight. But while vendors continue to market solutions that can “adapt” to ever-changing business requirements, most customers are shocked to discover the true cost and time associated with making even simple modifications.

WoodPro’s software solution is built on real-world business logic and sound technology. The business logic comes from 20+ years of experience in developing industry specific software for companies in the Lumber and Building Products industry. In fact, WoodPro InSight is built exclusively on the business logic already deployed in hundreds of North American businesses. The result? Enormous depth and functionality across the enterprise. We offer extensive experience in delivering financial and lumber management software that maps onto the complex inventory and operational activities.

But solid business logic without sound technology is not enough. Organizations need a seamlessly integrated portfolio of applications. This is why we have chosen to develop our products using Microsoft technologies. WoodPro InSight works with your existing systems and databases; it also works with familiar Office applications. Your staff becomes more productive quickly, as they use their existing skills. New office and IT staff can be easily recruited and trained. Information is available to other software applications making your business processes even more effective.
