Spruce Software for Lumber and Building Materials Businesses

Spruce was designed 30 years ago by lumber, home and building supply experts to use in their own businesses as LBM software because nothing was on the market that fit their specific needs at that time.

Today, Spruce is a leading building material estimating software ERP for home and building material dealers; lumber warehouses; window, door, and millhouse showrooms; large and multi-location hardware stores and home centers; kitchen and bath showrooms; grocery stores; and rent-to-own and furniture stores with ten or more users.

Yes - Spruce offers integration options for ecommerce, payment processing, advanced analytics, delivery fleet mobile management, and many third-party products and APIs. In addition, the software can integrate with 20+ different vendor EDI providers as well as a variety of import options for estimating (Saberis, Base Camp, Andersen iQ, 20/20, and more).

Yes - You can access important information from Spruce at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection through our ECI Cloud. This includes desktop, laptop, and mobile devices.

Yes - Spruce is a cloud-based software available on a monthly subscription basis. This means that everything you need to run your business with Spruce is included in that monthly fee. Our users have found great benefit in this solution as they no longer have to purchase or maintain on-site server hardware, manage their own backups, or pay for additional server software licensing.

Not currently - During the implementation process, we work with you to configure Spruce to your business’s unique needs. Since our solution is not a one-size-fits-all software, a free trial is not currently an option.

Yes - Spruce is tailored to your specific needs upon implementation, whether that be for lumber or product inventory types, multi-location businesses, or other unique requirements. We also offer a full ecosystem of add-on modules to enhance your Spruce software, including a comprehensive ecommerce platform to take your business online, payment processing solutions, additional business intelligence dashboards and analytics tools, a delivery fleet management mobile application, and more.

Yes - Different branch locations are fully supported and are not separate installations but rather one software and database. This makes it very easy to move inventory and check stock availability across branches as well as change branches within the software. It’s also possible to designate different supply and sale branches for orders and consolidate purchasing with or without warehouse location(s).

No - Spruce supports many different regions and tax methods including VAT/GST. We currently have customers using our software in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Caribbean, and the Australia-Pacific region. The POS application language is English regardless of region, however but a variety of currencies and regional numeric formats are supported.
