Manual and repetitive tasks can cause costly errors in your farm and feed supply business. Spruce helps eliminate these, and is designed to make farm and feed supply retailers more efficient and profitable. Spend more time helping customers, promoting additional product categories, and identifying margin opportunities. Streamline purchases from multiple vendors, making it easy to stock the right products and improve cash flow.
Spruce offers many purchasing options, including automated ordering and the ability to order stock based on past POs. Special orders are easy and vendor catalogues are integrated in the system, so you know you’re ordering the right items. Leverage EDI or seamlessly import files into Spruce, saving time and reducing errors.
Spruce helps you manage your business on the go. Because it’s cloud-based, you can access your business information 24/7 from anywhere. If you’re at a customer location, or at home, you can access your system, look at sales history, respond to enquiries and handle an order on the spot.
With Spruce, you can create quotes for customers that are easily converted to orders including partial release on orders. You can even order a subset of items from a quote and keep the original one open. This capability improves efficiency in your business and frees up time to work on other more productive tasks.
Most farm and feed suppliers carry items that are sold in multiple units of measure (UOM), which can be a headache. Spruce automatically adjusts pricing and margins for multiple UOMs per item, so that you can have different price points for each. It also allows you to order quantity in one unit and have the cost reflect another.
Smaller retailers have a fraction of the marketing budget of big competitors, so customer satisfaction and loyalty have an even greater impact. Spruce has many ways to help you retain customers without breaking your marketing budget. Features include the ability to create your own signage, offer flexible instalment payments and create your own loyalty programme.
