Case Study: Albertsons Home Center boosts efficiency with ECi Spruce

Expedited Business Processes Tops List of Reasons for Switching to Spruce Software for Building Supply Businesses

Albertsons Home Center in Parksville, British Columbia, needed a more modern, user-friendly management system after outgrowing its existing software. After 15 years in the building supply business, the team wanted a solution that would improve ordering, receiving, checkout, and overall workflow without creating more computer headaches.

ECI Spruce provided its Spruce software for building supply businesses, and Albertsons went live in 2015. The switch sped up employee training from about a week to just a few hours, shifted roughly 70% of customer statements to email, and eliminated an $8,000 annual outsourced inventory count by enabling cycle counts throughout the year. The result was faster, more efficient operations and better visibility across the business.
