Software built where the work happens.
We turn operational know-how into custom software, automation, and applied AI.
Spruce connects custom software, workflow automation, applied AI, and data integrations around the needs of each organization.
Your business shouldn’t have to bend around generic software.
The operation comes first. We build from there.

What we build
Practical software for the parts of an operation that generic tools leave behind.
Workflow automation
Replace repetitive handoffs, checks, and recurring tasks with systems that keep work moving.
Internal software and integrations
Build the missing tools between your team and the software it already relies on.
Document and data systems
Turn documents, messages, and operational data into structured, reviewable workflows.
Applied AI and embedded engineering
We identify where AI is genuinely useful, then build or integrate it into the workflow with agreed data handling and human control.
Data handling, retention, providers, and deployment are agreed before shipping.
How we work
We deploy an engineer alongside your operators to understand the workflow firsthand and get to work.
No long handoff chain. The person learning the operation is part of the team building around it.
Join the work
An engineer works alongside the operators closest to the workflow.
Build in context
We map what actually happens, then ship the smallest useful system into it.
Improve in use
We stay close to the work, learn from real use, and strengthen it over time.
ABOUT SPRUCE
The engineers doing the work.
Spruce is a Philadelphia-based engineering team that works directly with the people closest to the operation. The engineers who understand the workflow are the same people who design, build, and improve the system.
