Success Stories

The ultimate judgment on the quality of any company or lumber, building materials and millwork software is made by its clients. We are pleased to have worked closely with the building materials and millwork industries for more than 30 years. Our clients speak for themselves when it comes to their reasons for selecting the Ponderosa lumber, building material and millwork software as their primary business and accounting solution.

"As Moynihan Lumber is faced with different challenges and with ever-changing market conditions at our various locations Computer Associates has always been there to help us remain competitive and profitable through its innovative Ponderosa software system. Invaluable and unique software tools such as asset management reporting and the comprehensive Product Configurator [Pro-Con] software module has helped Moynihan Lumber to better service the diverse needs of our customers throughout the years. With the rollout of the new Ponderosa GUI system, we are looking forward to utilizing all the new available features, including ODBC and e-commerce. Having directly worked with all of your departments (development, consulting, customer service and technical services) it is quite obvious that all of your employees take great pride in the products and services that they offer. Looking back to less than a decade ago when we formed our relationship with CAI, who could have imagined the technological advances that have taken place in the Lumber / Building Material and Millwork industries. Through your Ponderosa software system, Computer Associates truly is setting the standard for information system companies servicing this industry.
