The Catapult Advantage
Powerful, Flexible & Field-Proven
Catapult offers retailers truly exceptional features and functionality,
the result of exhaustive industry research and feedback, as well as superior
design and development based on years of experience. With so many alternatives
to choose from consider this list of advantages, which can help you better
decide if Catapult is the right retail automation solution for you.
The Right Stuff
Catapult is a true object-oriented, 32-bit Windows 2000/XP® solution
which leverages modern standards and tools like .Net, ActiveX,
OPOS, & ODBC. Unlike most competing systems, Catapult is not a mix
of old and new technology like other packages that utilize a Windows shell
around older DOS or text-based manager interfaces. This very important
distinction cannot be overstated. Software works best when designed from
the ground up under one design style and technical infrastructure.
Superbly Engineered
We took the time to do it right! ECRS spent millions to design and develop
a product that not only gives you a competitive advantage, but
one that allows ECRS and our dealers to easily support you now and adjust
to new challenges as they arise in the future. Catapult is a model for
client-server software design and development, utilizing the most modern
software engineering practices. And like all superbly engineered products,
you’ll appreciate Catapult more and more as you utilize its capabilities
throughout the life of your investment.
Completely Redundant
Designed to keep ringing customers through the checkout lanes under the
worst possible conditions, Catapult POS terminals automatically stay running
without interruption, even when your network decides not to. Many of our
competitors have ignored this most important feature altogether while
others have only made feeble attempts to provide it. Unlike other system
vendors, when we say redundant, we mean it. Catapult’s redundancy
is fully automatic and requires no file preparation or intervention.
Redundancy lies at the very core of Catapult’s design and is ready
to perform at a split second’s notice. Features such as on-and-off
promotion sales and price changes, customer charges, and even credit card
and debit card authorization function regardless of the state of your
network.*
Flexible, Smart & Scalable
Catapult can be tailored to work within almost any retail operation.
Whether you have one POS station or twenty, one store location or hundreds,
Catapult is ready for the challenges that a modern retail environment
demands. Add management and POS terminals as you need them. Adding new
stores to the system is also simple and straightforward. Catapult’s
data synchronization seamlessly allows you add new stores when you need
them.
Distributed Data Synchronization
Competing systems may offer synchronization, but few if any were originally
designed for this purpose. Many lack important features such as background
and threaded data replication, which allows you to synchronize while the
system is in use, and to synchronize with multiple stores simultaneously.
Many also lack basics such as automatic data conflict resolution,
which is considered a necessity in the modern world of data synchronization
and replication. You’ll appreciate the fact that automatic data conflict
resolution does just that–resolves data conflicts that can occur
when the same data is changed or added at the same time at different locations.
Catapult handles all of the details.
Commonsense Design
Just about anyone with basic computer experience can master the system
in one session with Catapult’s data-driven design for maintenance
of Inventory Automation, Scanning, Frequent Shopper Programs, Promotional
Price Control, and Sign and Label Printing.
Local Dealer Support
And if you do have questions, count on ECRS and your local ECRS Catapult
dealer for immediate answers and personalized support.
That’s a promise!
