About

Who Is LBM LIFT OFF?

Founded by LBM industry veterans – John Askin, Jr. and John Askin, Sr – who have a combined 45 years of experience in the management of a multi-location material distribution company.

John Senior was the President and a minority shareholder in the company, and John Junior was a VP and Chief Financial Officer.  During the time they managed the company they evaluated as well as purchased and installed several different legacy software programs used in the operation of the business.

Their disappointing experiences working with these various programs compelled the Founders to design a new operations management software. LBM LIFT OFF provides dealers with a program that enables them to run their businesses as they see fit.

Why LBM LIFT OFF

I chose LBM LIFT OFF based on the fact that I dealt directly with the owners, who had extensive industry knowledge, and I liked how easy the program was to use.
Brad Strocko, Owner Bradley Building Products


I chose LBM LIFT OFF because my legacy program could not process my transactions. The owners understood my business and were able to quickly and economically customize LIFT OFF to satisfy my needs
Brian O’Neill, Managing Partner Palm City Ironworks


During my 25 years in the industry, I was involved in three system conversions. As a result, I developed a wish list for when I opened my own business. LBM LIFT OFF was the only program that hit all the numbers
Tim Doyle, Co-Owner Northern Plains Lumber Company 


The reasons I chose Lift Off are the functionality of the UOM features i.e. pick tickets work in the correct unit of measure; program search features; OE part information details; and the owner’s industry experience. They were extremely helpful since they could convert industry language to technology
