Lancaster

Rundoo, the AI-first platform for independent supply stores, integrates directly with Lancaster, a leading paint sundries distributor serving roughly 400 independent retailers across the Mid-Atlantic and New England, to bring modern, unified software to the stores that keep Lancaster's network running.

Rundoo gives Lancaster dealers a single platform for POS, inventory, ordering, and vendor management, all connected to Lancaster's systems so the data moves where it needs to go and the store owner doesn't have to play middleman between their distributor and their point of sale.

Why this matters

Lancaster has built its reputation as one of the industry's go-to distributors for paint sundries, and the independent retailers they serve are exactly the kind of stores that make communities better: locally owned, deeply knowledgeable, and run by people who can tell you which brush to use before you even finish describing the project. Those stores win on expertise, relationships, and personalized service, but keeping that edge gets harder when the owner is spending their morning re-keying purchase orders or trying to figure out whether the cost on that new roller line is from last month's price list or the updated one.

Rundoo fills that gap with a single system that connects to Lancaster natively. EDI ordering already flows between Rundoo and Lancaster automatically, with catalog loads, receiving, and price updates on the way.

Integrations

Rundoo connects directly with Lancaster's EDI systems so store owners can spend less time toggling between portals and more time helping customers pick the perfect roller cover, or at least convincing them that yes, they really do need painter's tape.

Live

Ordering

Place purchase orders from Rundoo directly to Lancaster over a secure EDI connection. Orders transmit automatically as 850 documents, so nobody has to re-key anything into a separate system or wonder whether that PO actually made it through.

In Progress

Catalog

Lancaster's product catalog loaded directly into Rundoo with UPCs, descriptions, and cost information, giving your team a single source of truth for everything Lancaster distributes without maintaining a separate spreadsheet that somehow always has last quarter's prices.

Receiving

When Lancaster ships an order, the advance ship notice and invoice details will load automatically into Rundoo so you can receive against what was actually sent, confirm quantities, and get back to your day.

Price Updates

Automatic price and catalog updates from Lancaster so your retail and cost prices stay current without anyone manually cross-referencing a PDF that arrived three weeks ago.

Trade Shows

Lancaster hosts buying shows throughout the year, including their flagship show in Orlando, where independent retailers from across their network gather to discover new products, meet vendors, and talk shop with the kind of people who actually understand what it's like to run an independent store. Rundoo is there on the show floor, demoing the platform, swapping stories with store owners, and generally having a better time than anyone has a right to at a trade show.

At the 2026 Lancaster Show in Orlando, the Rundoo team was out in full force, connecting with Lancaster dealers, presenting the platform, and hosting a happy hour because nothing pairs better with a good software demo than a cold drink and a conversation about paint sundries. Lancaster's own territory managers have been recommending Rundoo to their dealer networks as a POS partner for paint, hardware, feed, and supply stores, which is about the best endorsement you can get in this industry.
