bisTrack software manages buying, selling and inventory tracking
bisTrack is a new product offering for Progressive Solutions in North America. Originally developed and implemented extensively by the company’s UK division, bisTrack is gaining recognition in North America for its remarkable ease-of-use and powerful features that help lumber and building materials dealers and distributors manage all aspects of their procurement, counter and back-office sales, and inventory control.

Geoff Douglas, Progressive Solutions’ VP Sales & Marketing, comments, “We’re being told by users that they’ve never seen anything quite like bisTrack. It’s so well-suited to the needs of lumberyards and building materials dealers, and it’s so easy to use.” Geoff continues, “That, and our company’s responsiveness and expertise in wood products, is winning the confidence and sales orders from our new customers.”
