During a ceremony at the ProDealer Industry Conference in Savannah, Ga., Boise, Idaho-based BMC received the HCN Pro Dealer of the Year award. Here are the facts behind the award and the 2012 ceremony. 

The award criteria

The HCN Pro Dealer of the Year Award is presented annually to a lumber and building material dealer based on three main criteria: high performance, innovation and corporate behavior that reflects the values of the LBM industry.

Boise, Idaho-based BMC is rolling out a suite of enterprise mobile apps called “BMC 2 Go” that will transform sales and operations business processes, making employees more mobile, productive and effective through high-value Apple iPhone and iPad applications.

Boston-based tech firm Apperian partnered with BMC to provide its Enterprise App Services Environment (EASE) as the iOS app management platform to deploy and manage mobile applications for its nationwide network of sales and operations personnel.

San Antonio — The layoffs, bankruptcies, pay cuts and long hours that have cast a pall over the industry for the last several years were pushed aside for three days last month as LBM executives gathered here to greet old friends, catch up on gossip, and maybe learn a thing or two about how to run a better business. The 2011 ProDealer Industry Summit, co-sponsored by the National Lumber and Building Material Dealers Association (NLBMDA) and Home Channel News, hosted 100-plus pro dealers and LBM distributors from more than 65 companies Oct. 26 to 28.

Just one day after announcing the opening of a distribution center in Denver, BMC is at it again -- this time with a new lumberyard in Houston.

BMC announced the opening of the Houston yard today, describing it as a boost to its Greater Houston capacity, which now extends to a 100-mile delivery radius.

Boise, Idaho-based BMC rallied its sales force during the company's National Sales Meeting in Las Vegas Feb. 8-10.

During the meeting, BMC CEO Peter Alexander and the executive team detailed the company’s strategy to their entire sales and management group. The event also featured a Vendor Showcase and Product Education day with more than 40 exhibits from the industry’s leading suppliers.

BMC, the Boise, Idaho-based pro dealer, has announced an amendment to its senior secured credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance, the company’s working capital lender. The new agreement lowers the rates and fees payable under the facility and increases the company’s borrowing capacity to the full $50 million amount available.

BMC has had no cash borrowings under the facility since it was put in place on Jan. 4, 2010, and anticipates none in the coming year.
