Every company kind of has a dream, right? They want to become the next big thing. That's certainly our dream, and Spruce allows that to happen. We've always had a goal to get to 25 plus stores, and before Spruce that was a bit of a scary task to take on because it was so manual. We knew that if we didn't make a change that we were going to get swallowed up by our competitors. But we'd spruce, were able to be more agile, get people spun up on training quicker, integrate faster, turn on stores faster. It's made it easier to make financial decisions, all those things. It started with a sales Rep asking me questions of what's your business like? And I was like white, yellow, pink paper. Couple hours later, we have a demo. The software just did it. Since going into Spruce, we've opened two locations very quickly. We're on the verge of opening another location here very soon and all of the data that Spruce gives me is allowing me to make that decision. I'm able to sit down with our owner and go, let's do this. Been able to grow our stock business 2025% because we've been able to look at the data, look at the metrics, you know, increase our inventory turns, make sure our pricing is in line with our competition. Our gross margin has improved drastically since this because it's a very simple dial term for us. The other big piece that you have is the ecommerce piece that Spruce brings to the table where you have a fully integrated website to your point of sale system. And for us that's open the floodwaters to be able to compete against the big guy. You have to have good technology and Spruce really provides that for us. In terms of scalability, Spruce has really changed our lives. We were able to bring your best foot forward every single day.
