About Us LIVING OUR BRAND At ECRS, we do business every day as if our success depends upon our company’s good name — because it does. Our reputation — the powerful brand we've built together — is our most precious asset. ECRS is a world-class software development company that was built by our employees one transaction, one handshake, one kept promise at a time. That makes each employee an owner of the ECRS brand, with the power to advance our standing and our reputation in the marketplace, one customer at a time. A BRIEF HISTORY Back in 1989, a young entrepreneur named Pete Catoe had a dream. With a handful of his co-workers, he started a small software company called ECR Software Corporation (ECRS) that was based on a simple philosophy: "Develop and deliver commonsense, innovative retail automation solutions that work as advertised. Take care of your customers and employees, and profits will follow." Catoe's simple but powerful belief quickly became the foundation of ECRS' down-to-earth business model. The company's relentless pursuit of creating the highest quality software products, achieving world-class customer satisfaction, and fostering employee development over 20 years has transformed ECRS into an internationally recognized leader in the retail automation industry. OUR VISION OF QUALITY CONVERGENCE At ECRS, we bring together best-of-breed retail software, hardware, and services to create complete, value-based solutions that perform as promised. By creating a framework of optional plug-and-play modules that work seamlessly with our core applications, we give our customers the freedom to choose as much or as little automation as their enterprise demands, and to expand their automation framework as their business grows. Exhaustive research, intelligent design, and rigorous pre-market testing ensure that ECRS products integrate smoothly into existing retail environments. By providing our customers with automation tools that put real-time actionable enterprise data at their fingertips, we empower them to compete and expand their business in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Delivered directly and by our global partner network, ECRS products can be found in over 13,000 retail locations.
