What’s eating away at your lumberyard’s profits? If you’re only looking at price, you’re overlooking a large percentage of your true costs. For lumberyards, total cost of ownership is about more than just the purchase price – a lot more. There are additional costs involved, like the time and resources spent on shopping and extra paperwork. Then there are holding costs, like inventory turnover, shortages, shrinkage, and overhead. That’s not to mention that one-and-done distribution deals are much less reliable when their regular customers take precedence. When you run the numbers, you’ll find that bargain hunting will cost you more than you think your spending. Lumberyards thrive when they get well-packaged, top-tier product on time.
