Case Study: R. W. & Sons Builder achieves simplified accounting and streamlined operations with ECI Software Solutions (Spruce)

Spruce Brings Simplified Accounting and Efficiency to Castle Dealer

R. W. & Sons Builder, a family-owned Castle dealer in Balcarres, Saskatchewan, was struggling with an outdated point-of-sale system that didn’t run on a modern OS and split off general ledger and accounts payable, leaving them unable to efficiently track rebates, margins, installed sales, or delivery confirmation. Seeking a single, accountable ERP, they turned to ECI Software Solutions and its industry-specific Spruce software to replace the cobbled-together computing stack.

ECI Software Solutions implemented Spruce to link POS, inventory, accounting, installed sales and document management into one system; shipments are now automatically registered in the general ledger, delivery confirmations (signatures and photos) are captured, and installed-job costs are tracked by materials, labor and subcontractors. The result: AR and document lookups in under two minutes, rebate and margin tracking improved, and year‑end reconciliation slashed from about a month to essentially immediate—allowing R. W. & Sons Builder to send clean books to their accountant with no follow-up and operate far more efficiently.
