Boone, NC — April 1, 2026 — ECRS® has expanded its CATAPULT® and reciProfity® integration, delivering end‑to‑end automation for prepared foods production, ordering, and inventory. CATAPULT now generates purchase orders and sends them directly to reciProfity via ECRS Gateway®. When items are produced, inventory levels and unit costs automatically update in CATAPULT.
New capabilities close the loop between production, ordering, and inventory while delivering major performance improvements.
This upgrade eliminates manual entry, ensuring real‑time accuracy as finished goods and costs are synced between reciProfity and CATAPULT.
A Single, Connected Workflow for Prepared Foods
For retailers using CATAPULT, ECRS Gateway, and reciProfity, ordering is now streamlined into one continuous process. CATAPULT’s computer‑assisted ordering generates purchase orders that are fulfilled directly in reciProfity, without duplicate effort or reconciliation.
The result is a more efficient and reliable prepared foods operation that:
- Reduces manual data entry and workarounds
- Improves inventory accuracy and production planning
- Minimizes food waste
- Enables more informed, data‑driven decisions
The integration is fully compatible with all currently supported versions of CATAPULT and ECRS Gateway, allowing customers to take advantage of these capabilities without requiring system upgrades.
Amplifying Value with DemandFill™ 3.0
When combined with DemandFill™ 3.0, the CATAPULT and reciProfity integration delivers even greater value for prepared foods departments.
DemandFill 3.0 uses advanced AI to analyze 11 key demand factors—including historical sales, promotions, seasonality, lead times, safety stock, on‑hand inventory, and forecasted weather—to generate highly accurate production and ordering recommendations.
Now seamlessly connected to reciProfity’s precise recipe costing and inventory data, DemandFill enables smarter production planning, reduced waste, improved labor efficiency, and higher profitability—with far less guesswork.
Major Performance Improvements Across reciProfity—No Upgrade Required
In addition to the expanded integration, ECRS has delivered significant platform performance enhancements across reciProfity. These improvements were implemented behind the scenes and require no customer action.
Key workflows now perform dramatically faster, including login, reporting, and recipe bulk repricing. Notably, recipe bulk repricing—previously a minutes‑long process—now completes in seconds, even at scale.
Additional improvements to background processing ensure that time‑sensitive workflows remain fast and responsive during peak usage, while non‑urgent tasks are intelligently managed without disrupting daily operations.
