Essential POS is the developer of Essential Elements, a Hospitality & Retail based Enterprise solution that takes Business Intelligence to the next level. Mike Burris CEO of Essential Elements explains that they saw a serious lapse in technology for these industries. "Our customers were asking us to solve some huge problems in the marketplace," Burris said. "These industries are consistent users of POS (Point Of Sale) systems. The POS system is critical for most of these venues. The problem is that even the best POS systems won't give them all of the critical information it takes to be well informed about their businesses. This is especially true for multi-unit companies. Things like, accounting, inventory, personnel, communication, billing, EDI invoicing, marketing and trend tracking, have to be managed all the way from the unit level up to the corporate offices with the same attention to detail. The higher the complexity of the business, the tougher it is to control." "Over time, successful companies have worked hard to develop best practices for each of these areas of their business." Burris went on. "But, these generally happen in a vacuum and companies end up with a legacy of forms, spreadsheets and software packages. That means lots of paperwork and manual entry. None of these solutions talk to each other, and each of them comes with its own limitations. Software gets old and spreadsheets get too complicated. Getting this all put together in a comprehensive package that helps owners and managers make informed, real-time decisions is almost impossible. Using this model means each company is only as strong as its weakest link. They get so much time and money invested in these processes its difficult for them to change. Knowing how they got there, we didn't want to repeat the problem. Over the years of development, we've figured out an affordable way to allow each company to replace their old practices, get full use of each of these aspects of their business and mold it to their own vision. Essential Elements gives each company the ability to wrap their arms around their business and make intelligent decisions by always using the most current technology available."
Essential Elements has assembled a unique group of personnel to allow our customers a robust, intelligent product with the flexibility to allow all businesses to continue to build their own dream.
