Case Study: Falvey Lumber & Hardware achieves faster operations and unified multi-store management with ECI Software Solutions (Spruce)

Spruce software helps new entrepreneur create a successful, growing business

Falvey Lumber & Hardware, a two‑store lumber and hardware business in Albia and Eddyville, Iowa, struggled after acquisition with each location running different, outdated systems (ProsperityERP and Cruise) that lacked integrated inventory and reliable accounting, making routine tasks take hours or days. Seeking an industry-specific, cloud-based solution, Falvey turned to ECI Software Solutions and its Spruce lumber and building materials software.

ECI Software Solutions implemented Spruce to consolidate both branches on a single, Windows‑friendly cloud platform with shared inventory, centralized accounting, automatic backups/updates, and hands‑on conversion support. The change dramatically improved efficiency: delivery processing fell from days to under 30 minutes and sales‑tax work dropped from a full day to about ten minutes, while responsive Spruce support and training freed internal resources and positioned Falvey for future growth.
