EDI Supplier & Distributor Integration and Supplier Catalog Access

Stock and Inventory Management
With so much of your cash tied up in inventory, you need to understand exactly what you’ve got in stock and ensure you have the right items available to customers exactly when they need them. Giving you complete visibility of your inventory, Spruce allows you to automatically track stock levels as you buy and sell products. You can also sync stock levels with your website in real time, see whether you’re running low and easily print out a list of products to fulfil orders.
Make better business decisions with real-time analytics
Spruce includes a predefined series of charts and queries so you can select those that are most useful for your business, customize them, and save them to your analytics panel for easy access.
Easy to Learn & Use by any Role
ECI recognizes that not everyone in independent merchant roles is IT literate, so we've designed our software to be intuitively simple, making it easy to train your team quickly.
