Pros:

The depth of coverage of our retail needs: from registers to vendor ordering and now e-commerce and a scale connected to the system. Member management and loyalty features are great, too. Placing items on sale and printing tags and signs also excellent. ECRS also provides excellent service and hardware, plus access to the SQL database for custom reporting.

Cons:

As with any tool that will handle thousands of items and millions of transactions, the configuration is complex and takes time to understand and customize. This has gotten much easier with the development of WebOffice and the continual improvement and innovation that ECRS pursues and provides. We have had a little trouble with our latest hardware, but gold support has been consistently quick and helpful.

ECRS Catapult is an ERP / POS that should be on everyone's short list

I would describe our business as a straightforward Point of Sale entity, but we utilize, or are required, to incorporate complex business processes. Catapult has been able to solve a great number of those processes and put us in a much better position to not only operate, but to grow at a rapid pace as well. The support teams have been a delight to work with and having the developers listen to our wishes for enhancement and features was a huge value add.

Pros:

The flexibility of Catapult is amazing! You get a great core set of features available in Catapult, but then there's add-ons and software switches that you can utilize to further customize your experience. There's also a number of avenues available to extract or import data in Catapult as well.

Cons:

Part of having such a flexible product is that you have to know how to enable, configure and use those features. ECRS has made VAST improvements to documenting things as well as providing training / knowledge resources, so things are heading in the right direction.

Reasons for choosing CATAPULT

A lot of the other products felt too fragmented or incapable of hosting a high transaction / high volume environment. Catapult felt like the best solution that delivered stability and functionality at a reasonable price.

Reasons for switching to CATAPULT

Retail Pro was another good product for us, but as our company and our needs grew, Retail Pro could not keep pace. When assessing other software, we felt Cataput delivered a great base to build on in comparison to other products in the market.

Pros:

Before ECRS, we spent most of our days correcting mistakes that were entered at store level. We had no true database to make mass edits easily. We were reactive and slow to make changes.ECRS allowed us to work from the top down. Easily make changes, and it replicates to the stores quickly and consistently in each store. ECRS does not try to be all things for all merchants. They take the time to evaluate each new idea and process and find the best fit for these by vetting the processes before implementing. They ensure their software is quality. Limited bugs and can be easily flexible in their upgrades or code changes. You can't do this wit h the big budget competitors who take 18 months to do upgrades and your suggestion might get reviewed if lucky. ECRS has multiple features for you to help suggest ideas to help improve the software. Their ability to use Agile development methodology to be fast, inclusive with the merchants in the process, and it is impressive how many new features they have rolled out in the last few years to keep up with a fast-paced industry.

Cons:

- Upgrading of the pin pads made easier where pinpad utility does not have to be run after upgrades.- Visbility of what the pin pad messaging is saying or mirroring while remotely administrating POS systems to help avoid driving to store to see what message is on the pin pad.

Reasons for switching to CATAPULT

- Lack of true DB- BRDATA was too complicated because the software was built to be all things for all people vs. more thought into the development for growth and new revenue opportunities, but still clean and simple design.- Multiple vendors who had upgrade issues with each other, slowing down the process and causing incompatibilities.

ECRS is a great POS and Inventory management assest

Overall, I would recommend using catapult as your POSif you are a retailer since they count on great customer service, their software features are very competitive if not better I dare to say compared to other full-service POS retailers. Their hardware can seem a bit pricey but they offer Gold Care (Warranty) for most of the big ticket items and if something breaks under that warranty they will ship overnight a replacement to replace the item so you do not loose business.

Pros:

Catapult is a product that is very user-friendly and it is easy to deploy. They have good customer support and the staff is very friendly. A lot of the features are easy to set up since they have a bd KB accessible to the customer and they also offer online classes to be able to use the software. As an IT, that is a big asset as there are times that I can troubleshoot my own issues and solve most of them without needing to reach out to customer support.

Cons:

The one thing that I like the least is that there are a lot of bugs every time there is an update. Sometimes it takes them weeks or months to solve some of the issues which can be very frustrating on our end. Some of them are minor annoyances but nevertheless, they always seem to have a workaround or temporary fix to help you out while they make the next patch.

Pros:

As the Front End manager I train all cashiers. When they get their first look at the system many are initially intimidated, but all of them have been able to learn it quickly. Getting a new cashier up and running takes very little time. The control we have over what the cashier sees and can access is amazing. Everytime I say "I wish Catapult......" it seems like they make it happen in the next update.

Cons:

The only thing I can think of is sometimes I wish in the reports for cashiers when I clicked on a section it would take me to a list or a place that I could dig deeper into what that stat means,

Pros:

One of the best POS systems on the market! A variety of ways to handle Inventory, ordering, and sales. As a Multi-Store Retail it makes it easier to have it work with HQ on same sales and products entered into it. The registers are straight forwards for training new cashiers or management on. We have been using it for over a decade now with very few issue.

Cons:

The customer support is a little lackluster in some aspect. They can be hard to get help from if you have an issue but they are always polite. The reporting can be odd at times if you use too many filters.
