ECI Software Solutions Introduces Spruce eCommerce for Dealers in the Lumber and Building Materials Industry

ECI Software Solutions, a global provider of cloud-based business management software and services, announced the launch of Spruce eCommerce, an innovative ecommerce solution purpose-built for the unique needs of lumber and building materials LBM and hardlines businesses.

“Spruce eCommerce is an exciting product because it allows users to build a sleek, professional storefront website and customer portal without needing any expertise in coding or web development,” said John Maiuri, Division President LBMH at ECI. “Not only does it improve the customer experience, but Spruce eCommerce also streamlines the business management aspects for dealers. For consumers and tradespeople, this means unlocking the ability to shop online for delivery or in-store pickup, browse products, create accounts, build self-service quotes, pay invoices and more. For LBM and hardlines businesses, this means help in avoiding over-stocking since inventory counts, transactions, pricing, invoices and other information are directly connected between systems.”

Designed as an all-in-one ecommerce solution and backed by ECI’s website design and digital marketing team, Spruce eCommerce features built-in marketing tools such as abandoned carts, content pages, blog tool, drag and drop layouts, rewards and loyalty programs, badges, banners, customer segmentation, reports and Google Analytics.

“Not only does Spruce eCommerce have the features and functionality we need to succeed, but having only one provider for both our core business system and webstore greatly simplifies operations,” said Brent Burrows II, Senior Manager, CBS Bahamas, a Spruce eCommerce user. “ECI sees the big picture and understands our long-term growth goals. We’ve been operating in the ecommerce world for about 3.5 years now, and this is the first time I’ve felt excited about the future and our ability to evolve with a system that easily scales as we grow.”
