Boiseries Algonquin
structures its operations
A single platform to better understand, track, and coordinate the company's activities.
Boiseries Algonquin’s operations rely on close coordination between sales, orders, inventory, and invoicing. As the company grew, information became scattered across various files, documents, and workflows, making operations increasingly difficult to track and understand.
To improve visibility into its activities and simplify day-to-day management, the company sought to centralize its information, formalize its processes, and better integrate all its operations within a single environment.
Boiseries Algonquin
Industrie
Manufacturing and distribution of wood products and specialized order management.
Challenge
Centralize information, structure processes, and improve visibility into orders, inventory, and daily operations.
Solution
Deploy an integrated environment linking sales, inventory, invoicing, and order tracking within a centralized platform.
Result
A better understanding of operations, more reliable inventory management, and a reduction in errors associated with manual processes.
The challenge
Before the project, information was scattered across various Excel files and paper documents. Order tracking relied partly on manual processes, and inventory management lacked structure.
This situation limited the flow of information between teams and complicated the overall understanding of operations. The links between orders, inventory, and invoicing remained difficult to track, increasing the risk of errors and slowing down certain activities.
Key challenges identified include:
- Information scattered across multiple tools and documents.
- Order tracking handled partly manually.
- Unstructured inventory management.
- Difficulty coordinating operations between teams.
- Limited understanding of processes and responsibilities.
The goal was to create an environment that was simpler to understand and easier to manage, while offering better visibility into the company's overall activities.
The solution
Tayo assisted Boiseries Algonquin in structuring its processes to transform a fragmented environment into a coherent system linking sales, orders, inventory, and finance.

In their own words:
