Software licensing program offers dealers a “pay as you go” option, giving them the benefits of the industry’s most modern software while avoiding a large initial contract

Spruce Computer Systems has announced a new Subscription Licensing option for its industry-leading SpruceWare.NET software. The option offers modern software with no upfront licensing fees, following instead a flexible model that lets dealers keep more cash on their balance sheets.

No-Compromise Solution

“Subscription licensing is a great option for many of our prospects,” said Rob Fitzpatrick, President of Spruce. “People wanted the best technology but they didn’t want the large initial outlay required to purchase a complete system during a housing downturn. Subscription licensing accomplishes that, with great flexibility. People can even test drive the software on subscription licensing and change to a purchase option any time if they choose to do so.”
“It’s a great option for those who want to grow their market share when budgets are tight,” said John LaFave, Director of Marketing. “New customers can choose to pay only for implementation and hardware upfront; no borrowing, no lease, no balance sheet hit, no long term commitment.”

Wide Range of Included Features

The one monthly subscription charge is inclusive of many features that cost extra with other systems. “Our new partners aren’t getting a stripped-down point of sale and back office package,” said LaFave. “Included with every subscription license is everything from document management to signature capture, including Crystal Reports, millwork and manufacturing, the SpruceWare.NET import wizard, EDI, full software support, regular software updates, and even Spruce’s interfaces with Blue Tarp, Enfinity, BuilderWire, DQ Order Delivery Tracking, Andersen iQ, and 20 20 Window and Door.”
