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 integral to our natural food cooperative operation, and only becomes more so as time goes on. ----- ### "Welcome to the amazing world of Catapult" — 5.0/5 > **Matthew** | *April 15, 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The simplicity of use and the all inclusive nature of the software allowed us to take our family natural grocery \& nutrition stores to the next level. > > **Cons**: Surprisingly there have been no obstacles to maximizing its use in our 4 locations > > I think it’s the best value in POS. This software has allowed us to eliminate many of our third party vendors and bring things in house at a tremendous savings to us ----- ### "It's our Point of Sale" — 3.0/5 > **Jason** | *October 21, 2022* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Features and value-ad in services, such as Loyalty Bot. The overall usefulness of the product. > > **Cons**: New feature development required to keep pace with the national chains is too slow. Antiquated design in some aspects of the system. Inconsistent or outdated documentation in the OLM > > We are working to implement perpetual inventory. Management and updating of the product database is time consuming. The EcoPortal is a good idea, but the the product information is too limited. ----- ### "ECRS Catapult is an ERP / POS that should be on everyone's short list" — 4.0/5 > **Marlon** | *December 14, 2022* | Wine & Spirits | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "McCaffrey's CAN compete with the big budget supermarkets" — 5.0/5 > **Robert** | *December 12, 2022* | Supermarkets | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > OPTIONS\!CATAPULT has been a major contributor to our ability to roll new experiences out with our customers. We are now using Biometrics for supervisors to override and employee purchases. We can now sell our products online. We have options. Accelerated Check out for people that love technology, the traditional check out experience with CATAPULT TS, Self check out for those that want to do their own checking out and finally the ability to order online to have groceries delivered or picked up.
