Spruce Computer Systems

Maiuri has served as the President of Dunn Builders Supply and the President & Director of the Eastern New York Lumber Dealers Association

Spruce Computer Systems is pleased to announce that John Maiuri has joined its sales team. Maiuri is looking forward to working with other dealers to streamline their processes and improve their fiscal performance by transitioning to SpruceWare.NET, the most modern Windows® software package available within the retail lumber, hardware and building materials vertical.

Maiuri offers experience and proven leadership

Maiuri’s industry experience, involvement, and awards illustrate why he will serve as a valuable partner to new Spruce customers. He began his career in 1982 when he became a yard foreman at Dunn Builders Supply Corporation in Catskill, NY. He served as a Purchasing Agent and General Manager before taking over the reins as President in 1994. Dunn Builders Supply was successfully sold to Herrington’s this year.

Maiuri is currently the Treasurer of the Northeastern Retail Lumber Association (NRLA) Political Action Committee. He also serves on NRLA’s New York Legislative Committee. He is the Chairman of the Board of the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, an Administrative Board Member of the Greene County Empire Zone and a member of the Heart of Catskill Association (HOCA). He is a past Chief and lifetime member of the Palenville Volunteer Fire Department, President of the Greene County Chamber of Commerce, and member of the Greene County Office Building Task Force.

He was the Eastern New York Lumber Dealer Association’s Lumberperson of the Year in 2003 and the Heart of Catskill Association’s Businessman of the Year in 2004.

Spruce an “Easy Decision”

“My decision to enter my new role at Spruce was made simple by two things: past experience with the company and the quality of the SpruceWare.NET software,” said Maiuri. “As a long-time Spruce Customer running Spruce’s UNIX-based SprucePlus software, I had grown to respect greatly Spruce’s support and its corporate culture, which is one of respect and quality. When I saw the way their SpruceWare.NET software integrated the best of what we were using with the incredible power of the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET®, Windows®, and SQL Server® trio to produce software that really can give dealers a serious return on investment, I was hooked.”

A Great Fit

“When the owners at Dunn Builders Supply decided to sell the company,” said Rob Fitzpatrick, President of Spruce Computer Systems, “we were immediately interested in talking to John. He was exactly what we look for in a salesperson: a straight shooter, someone who is a great partner and communicator. John can understand his prospects completely. Moreover, he would rather tell them the truth on the rare occasion when we’re not a good fit than have a prospect become an unhappy customer after being promised something the salesperson couldn’t deliver.”
