Colorado Retail Systems

Description

Colorado Retail Systems is a point of sale, cash register, scale and payment processing company serving the retailers of Southern Colorado and Northern New Mexico. Specializing in grocery store, general retail and restaurant point of sale (POS) systems, we enjoy a very favorable reputation for providing the very best in sales and service to the retailers of our region. Founded in 1974, Colorado Retail Systems started as Pueblo Office Equipment by Bennie Farmer. Bennie was a service technician for the Sweda/Monroe Business Equipment company that closed their Southern Colorado office in Colorado Springs. Bennie saw this as an opportunity to start his own company and continue the excellent service he had provided to the retailers of this area. Through the years, Sweda electro-mechanical cash registers became electronic cash registers (ECRs), and the entire business started to change. As computers became more and more prevalent in our daily lives, POS software and hardware started to replace ECRs. Retailers needed more than just the daily sales totals the ECRs provided. Bar code scanning, inventory capabilities, item, customer and sales clerk movement data and electronic payment processing were some of the capabilities that retailers needed in their POS systems. Bennie retired on November 1, 1994 and sold the business to Pat and Debbie Channel; his daughter and son-in-law. Pat and Debbie had worked for Bennie since 1980, along with Debbie's brother, Dan Farmer. Having established a very loyal grocery store clientele, Pat has concentrated on providing these grocers with their POS needs. Pat has also provided general retail stores with perpetual inventory systems. Dan has found a niche with restaurant/hospitality POS systems and has excelled in that retail vertical market in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and the surrounding area. Debbie, Pat and Dan have continued to sell and service cash registers, scales and supplies as this is the core of our business.
