“Since the acquisition of eCommonSense in October, we have been investing heavily to improve the value of the product and to introduce it to the North American market as we continue to see increased demand to further evolve the eCommerce channel”

Designed by a tradesman specifically for the building materials supply sector, eCommonSense helps LBM businesses provide a positive online shopping experience that rivals national chains. Now more than ever, consumers want to research and purchase items at their convenience, and a proper web presence is table stakes. But for small business owners focused on their trade, building and managing an effective website seems unattainable. With eCommonSense, the platform is seamlessly integrated with a businesses’ ERP, like ECI’s Spruce, and offers a unified, industry-specific product information management (PIM) system that enables users to become an information resource for products, use cases, installation instructions and reviews.

Consumers want to shop online, and they expect an experience that’s easy and convenient. eCommonSense is designed to provide a professional online experience just for LBM retailers, allowing them to offer a 24/7/365 sales presence to address the convenience needs of both consumers and tradespeople – like contractors, builders and busy build it yourselfers.

Key product features include:

• Seamless ERP integration – ensures inventory and customer pricing are available online and helps process orders without rekeying information. Also supports the management of multiple fulfillment processes, like Buy Online, Pick Up In-store (BOPIS).
• Unified product information – organized and accurate product data keep the website current, without drowning in spreadsheets.
