We rely on Spruce for all POS, AR/AP, Inventory, and CRM solutions.
  • Inventory management
  • Multi-branch management
  • Purchase order generation and tracking
  • Point of sales
  • P&L usability
Spruce is well suited for generic construction materials. It lacks some intentional functionality that is flooring specific.

  • Overall time savings
Several outages recently not tied to ISP. No Mac Support! No iOS Support!
Overall, I would say having the ability to "Start fresh" is where we benefited, not specifically from ECI Spruce.
Spruce is possibly just above average. Not super impressed with usability and especially not impressed with tech support who is rarely able to answer questions on the first call.
