Spruce Computer Systems and Solutions by Computer have partnered to integrate the Enfinity rental application with the SpruceWare.NET business and information management system. The integration is seen as a no-compromise alternative for lumber, hardware or building material dealers seeking modern software both for the multifaceted needs of their retail businesses and for the unique needs of their rental departments.

“SpruceWare.NET users are already familiar with the benefits of the most modern, yet easy to use, Windows-based software available for their businesses,” said Rob Fitzpatrick, president of Spruce Computer Systems. “Up until now, though, their rental departments have had to compromise in order to get receivables, sales tax and general ledger to balance between the rental departments and stores. Integrating Enfinity into SpruceWare.NET solves that problem.”

Jack Shea, CEO of Solutions by Computer, agrees. “We look forward to providing SpruceWare.NET users with rental management functionality that is practical and effective for their business environments. Our software development priorities are focused on the special requirements of rental operations, and have been for more than 25 years. In SpruceWare.NET, Solutions has an integration partner with an equally strong commitment to its customer base.”

Both SpruceWare.NET and Enfinity were written from the ground up as true Windows software packages, and the simple integration between the two allows rental transactions and purchases to be combined on the same ticket. Sales tax and receivables are handled by the SpruceWare.NET system for easy tracking and reconciliation, and the rental activities are tracked and processed using the full functionality of the Enfinity rental management system.
