Case Study: Berlin G. Myers Lumber Corp achieves 45‑minute month‑end closes and major productivity gains with ECI Software Solutions (Spruce)

Spruce LBM Software Enhances Core Service While Maximizing Staff Productivity

Berlin G. Myers Lumber Corp., an 80‑year‑old lumber dealer in Summerville, South Carolina, faced time‑consuming, paper‑heavy workflows—staff couldn’t export reports to Excel, spent hours retyping data, and month‑end close took 4–5 hours. To modernize operations and boost productivity they adopted Spruce, the cloud‑based lumber and building materials software from ECI Software Solutions.

ECI Software Solutions implemented Spruce’s integrated inventory, digital document management, EDI and role‑based training, eliminating redundant data entry and paper retrieval. As a result, reporting that once took days or hours now takes minutes, month‑end close dropped from 4–5 hours to 45 minutes, statements are emailed automatically (saving postage and envelopes), and Berlin G. Myers sustains higher productivity with roughly the same staff.
