This web-based, portable approach to enterprise management provides the power of ECRS's award-winning CATAPULT retail automation solution to run on a Tablet device, such as Apple iPad(TM) or Motorola Zoom(TM).   The new CATAPULT applications will also run from within all major Internet browsers, such as Windows Internet Explorer(TM), Mozilla Firefox(TM), Apple Safari(TM), Apple Opera (TM), and Google Chrome(TM).

"Modern mobile devices and web technology have spread to encompass all vital areas of our lives," said ECRS Vice President of Development, Mark Noble. "ECRS's introduction of the Tablet-ready executive dashboard and maintenance application are only the beginning of our comprehensive Web 2.0 vision. This platform frees CATAPULT and allows our customers to work where, when, and how they choose."

The first phase of the new platform, which is scheduled for release in December 2011, will deliver a powerful, fast, high-level executive dashboard with on-the-fly drill down capability. This CATAPULT functionality will be available to all current ECRS system users at no additional cost. ECRS' intuitive executive dashboard displays a variety of vital metrics, as configured by the user, with extensive comparative capability. Whether the user wants to compare specific stores, departments, or items, business intelligence comes alive with visually appealing graphs and charts; providing access to a retailer's most critical data in an easy-to-read format.

Maintenance controls will be available in subsequent versions set for release in the first and second quarters of 2012.
