All transactions automatically link in Spruce. Even handwritten or faxed records can be scanned into the system, so you have access to everything you need electronically. Quickly find customer quotes, orders, POs, receiving documents, invoices, and vendor payments in one centralised, easy-to-use system.
Spruce gives you the tools to stock the right levels of inventory all year long. Whether you need to set up purchase orders, log received inventory, set branch minimum and maximum quantities or dig into historical purchasing performance, one tool gives you all the insight you need.
Keeping track of sourcing special items is easy with Spruce. Create POs for special orders as part of the point-of-sale transaction or copy the customer’s order items into a PO. If the cost changes during the process, everything is updated – and digital document management makes it easy to quickly see the order’s progress, from the PO to the receipt to the invoice, all the way through billing the customer.
Reduce cost and save time in your delivery process. The load scheduler easily organises deliveries using drag and drop capabilities, which improves dispatcher productivity and efficiency. Spruce can prevent lost or forgotten orders and give drivers the information they need to work quickly and effectively – wherever they’re based.
Spruce is cloud-based, which means there are no upfront fees and no expensive servers to buy and maintain. Your data is also backed up automatically and hosted offsite for quick retrieval in the event of a natural disaster, fire, or theft. Data is encrypted and backed by firewalls for maximum security, so only you can access it.
Manage your business on the go with cloud-based software. Spruce can be accessed by authorised staff at any time, anywhere. Whether you are in the yard, at home or a customer location, you can log in to your system, look at sales history, respond to enquiries, and handle an order on the spot.
