Systems for Operators

Systems that hold under pressure

Custom software, data pipelines, and automation for teams dealing with compliance, fragmented tools, and tight timelines. Built to run in production, with clear ownership and audit trails.

Spruce Compute

Built from the inside

Film and cannabis are where we learned the work. That experience shapes every system we ship.

Film & Television Production

  • Call sheets, budgets, and schedules out of sync
  • Media assets drifting across vendors
  • No real-time view of cost-to-complete
  • Data locked in email threads and PDFs

Cannabis Operations

  • Inventory data split across systems
  • Audit prep turns into fire drills
  • Manual batch tracking = errors
  • Compliance reporting eats the week

What Owners Need Fixed

Less chaos, clearer numbers, and systems that hold under pressure.

Owner Pain

  • closeNo single source of truth → decisions are delayed
  • closeManual work stacks up → key people get stuck in ops
  • closeData drifts across teams → reports don’t match reality
  • closeCompliance and audits eat time → constant fire drills
  • closeGrowth breaks the stack → outages and workarounds

  • checkFull ownership → source code and deployment stays yours
Core Systems

Built to reduce operational drag

Data pipelines, workflow automation, and interfaces operators actually use. Each system is built for reliability, handoff, and measurable impact.

How We Work

A tight process for shipping real systems, fast.

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before we talk

Yes. You own the code, documentation, and data structures we build. No licensing fees or lock-in.
Most builds take 6-16 weeks from discovery to launch. We deliver a timeline during the proposal phase.
We work in two-week sprints with regular demos, so scope can adjust without derailing delivery.
We use React/Next.js for frontends, Python and TypeScript for backend and automation, and Postgres for data. AI work uses model-agnostic stacks with retrieval and evals.
Yes. We offer support retainers for fixes, upgrades, and new features.
We scope after discovery and provide a fixed-price proposal with clear milestones.
