Connecticut-based grocery chain, LaBonne’s Markets, has selected ECR Software Corporation (ECRS) as its grocery success platform. This decision was made in order to facilitate operational efficiencies, centralized business intelligence, and increased profitability throughout their independent grocery enterprise.
Robert LaBonne III, Vice President for the organization, commented on their decision to go with ECRS, “ECRS is a company full of professional, passionate people with strong values who are dedicated to their customers. This was clear at every level of the organization from administration to the executive team.”
From a technology perspective, ECRS’ Catapult® system offered the following benefits for LaBonne’s:
- a feature-rich solution that allows consolidation of multiple technology vendors (such as scale
management and loyalty) saving time and adding significant cash flow savings - a true host system that facilitates centralized management of all store locations from any web
browser - automated suggestive ordering that will assist in better buying decisions across all vendors
LaBonne’s began searching for a new point of sale vendor to modernize aging equipment and answer plaguing concerns over PCI-DSS compliance. During their search, three point of sale systems were extensively researched and tested with ECRS coming out on top.
System installation wrapped up in February, driven by ECRS’ Success Navigation Team and the management team at LaBonne’s. As training and consultation continues, LaBonne’s plans to progress in their growth with the system, taking full advantage of all the bottom-line benefits offered.
