I think my single most surprising and satisfying experience with ECI and its RockSolid Maxx and then Spruce products was the ease of implementation and rollout -- both on the hardware and software side. ECI seems to have mastered the idea of using an integrated team along with robust tutorials to make that process easy.

Pros
  • We have particularly pleased with the 'Payables' part of the Spruce suite. It's easy to use and functionality is light years better than our previous software.
  • Shortly after making the switch to Spruce our business underwent a detailed sales tax audit. Spruce's reporting functions were a godsend to us as we were able to easily address the questions posed us by our auditors.
  • Our sales force is staffed by multiple people with years of construction experience but little familiarity with computer. The ease with which they mastered the POS system surprised me.

Cons
  • Quick response to support tickets.
  • Access to a SPRUCE support technician when calling.
  • More support personal so you are not waiting days for a response.
  • Available support customer service when you call, even for small items.

Reliability and Availability
For the most part when there is internet, we are able to log in and proceed to do our daily tasks which is very helpful, but we have also encountered a glitch on our laptop that we use to do inventory that switches to the last branch that was used. This, in combination with Spruce logging out of the remote connection daily, can cause issues if the person accessing Spruce does not have the remote connection password.

Alternatives Considered
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.
