Collum's Lumber Products is a fourth-generation family business established in the 1930s by U.W. Collum, originally operating as a planer mill in Batesburg, SC. Over the decades the company has grown into a leading competitor in the Southeastern Southern Yellow Pine lumber market, headquartered in Allendale, South Carolina.
Today the company operates one of the most modern sawmills and planer operations in the Southeast, with a production capacity of up to 200 million board feet annually. Their facility features four dry kilns and an advanced planer with autograding technology, enabling precise, high-volume output of dimension lumber, poles, in-woods chips, biomass, and remanufactured components.
Collum's Lumber maintains Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) certification and employs Best Management Practices to support forestry conservation, demonstrating their commitment to responsible, sustainable production alongside high-volume output.
Why Dimension Lumber Is the Coolest Thing Made in SC
Dimension lumber may not have the flash of a consumer gadget, but it is foundational to virtually every construction project in the region and beyond. Southern Yellow Pine is prized for its strength, durability, and versatility, and Collum's Lumber produces it at a scale and quality level that few operations in the Southeast can match. From residential framing to commercial construction, the dimension lumber produced in Allendale, SC supports building projects across the country.
Investing in Operational Excellence with SAP Business One
Collum's Lumber is currently implementing SAP Business One with Synesis International as their technology partner. This investment reflects the company's commitment to modernizing their operations and maintaining their competitive edge in a demanding industry.
Modernizing a Legacy of Excellence
For a fourth-generation business producing 200 million board feet per year, operational visibility and data-driven decision-making are essential. SAP Business One provides the integrated ERP foundation that supports inventory management, production planning, financial reporting, and supply chain coordination across the entire operation.
Managing a high-volume lumber operation involves coordinating raw material procurement, kiln drying schedules, production planning across multiple product lines, and distribution logistics. SAP Business One gives Collum's Lumber real-time visibility into every stage of the process, from timber sourcing through final shipment.
