Automate the Busy Work in Your Lumberyard with Toolbx

Automate the Busy Work in Your Lumberyard

Tuesday, July 14, 2026 | 1:00 PM EDT

Your team is there to serve pros and keep jobs moving, not to spend the day chasing invoices or re-keying orders that came in by text, email, and phone. That manual work eats hours every week and slows down your cash. The big chains pour money into fixing it because it pays off, but you don't need their big budget to do the same.

The dealers winning at this focus on automating two areas of the business: how they get paid, and how orders get entered. This session shows how each one works, where it pays off, and how to put it to use in your yard. We'll also look at other ways to put AI to work on the repetitive parts of your team's day.

What we'll cover:

• The Busy Work Audit: a simple way to walk your yard department by department and spot the tasks worth automating, and the ones that aren't.

• Automation #1, getting paid faster: automatic payment reminders, self-serve payment links, auto-pay, and payments that apply themselves, so your team stops chasing and cash comes in sooner.

• Automation #2, order entry: turn orders that arrive by text, email, and PDF into ERP-ready orders without re-keying.

• Where to start: which automation to turn on first, what it takes to go live, and how to measure the hours and dollars you get back.

• Proof from yards like yours: one dealer cut their days-sales-outstanding to a 15-year low; another gave its AR team back about 3 hours a day.
