Case Study: La Crosse Lumber achieves real-time visibility and smoother operations with ECi Spruce

La Crosse Lumber Switches to Cloud-Based Spruce ERP Software to Keep Business Moving in the Right Direction

La Crosse Lumber Co., a family-owned lumber and building materials business with 14 locations, needed to replace its outdated ERP system after more than a decade on Activant Falcon from Epicor. The company wanted a more modern, cloud-based platform that could better support its decentralized store model, improve responsiveness, and provide real-time visibility into sales, margins, and pricing across all locations.

ECi Spruce implemented its cloud-based Spruce ERP software across all 14 lumber yards and the headquarters office in a same-day conversion with no major glitches. The switch gave La Crosse Lumber real-time data, easier maintenance and backups, and better support from ECi Spruce, helping the company modernize operations and make faster business decisions while keeping customers unaware of the transition.
