For over 30 years the Stoll Fireplace Doors metal smiths have been building some of the industry's finest and most elegant fireplace enclosures. With an enormous variety of colors, styles, and options, each fireplace is custom designed to meet your specific needs and style.
Many factors can influence the success of a business: timing, talent and opportunity
to name a few. When Bill Stoll moved to Abbeville, South Carolina in 1969, and started
a small machine shop with his sons, he never dreamed it would grow into a manufacturing
company that would meet the needs of fireplace owners across the United States.
It all started as a home-improvement project to fix his drab fireplace. Soon, neighbors
requested Bill do for their fireplaces what he had done for his own.
 Over time, the word continued to spread that Bill Stoll
knew how to By the mid-1970s heating oil prices made fireplaces more popular, which increased
the demand for Bill’s fireplace doors and enclosures. By the 1990's, Stoll's fireplace
doors and enclosures were being marketed nation-wide through a network of dealers.
Today the business operates in a 25,000 square-foot building managed by Bill's two
sons, Dennis and Robert. Stoll Fireplace has produced over 10,000 fireplace doors
throughout the United States.
As demand increased, the needs of the business grew. Quality control, Customer Service
and shipping issues became overwhelming tasks for the small work force. There were
also the demands for more options in color and design, and all of these elements
required some way to be recorded, measured and tracked.
For the solution, Dennis Stoll sought out the creators of Eagle Business Management
System. Dennis did not feel confident that just any store-bought software
was capable of applying itself to every aspect of the fireplace business. So, in
the summer of 2001, Jake Esh of Eagle Business Management System spent two days
evaluating and analyzing the needs of the business. The customizable nature of Eagle
Business Management System software made it possible for Jake to offer a solution
that would reduce office labor, simplify order entry, and improve inventory tracking
and management.
 The system also included a barcode scanning
solution that tracks the time and dates that orders are completed. Automatic sales-order
faxing was also added to send order confirmations to customers after an order was
entered, thus eliminating many hours of manual faxing with a fax machine. Eagle
Business Management System software even tracked multiple orders for the same customer,
which made it easier to group orders into one efficient shipment.
The staff at Eagle-Solutions and Esh Computer Center would like to express our
thanks to Stoll Fireplace for being a valued customer. We have enjoyed working with
the friendly Stoll Fireplace staff.
