The Company
|
Genesis is the merged technologies of GENESIS GROUP and TSRetail. Since this merger in early 2005 we have become the fastest growing company in our segment (Small to Mid-Size Grocery Locations) of Scale communications, POS, Mobile Tools for Perishables, Enhanced Labels Printing and scale data mining. Being a smaller developer we can focus on what counts, our clients. In the beginning we started like many others, with ideas, and talents. We continue to grow, doubling every year, and extending our product line. Currently we support over 10000+ Scales from manufacturers like:
Avery Berkel, Bizerba, Hobart, Mettler Toledo, Toshiba (TEC), Ishida, DIGI and other Tier one scale companies.
We are the only perishable developer that is both Microsoft Certified in the Partners program, but also a reseller for the popular POS systems from leaders you use daily. We branched out in 2008 to include these POS (Point of Sale) programs, and have written tools that pass your valued data into these POS systems by simple means. We know the difficulties today of doing more with less and saving on employee cost, that's why our software can do more then just talk to scales, it talks POS. Our technologies are all software based, so costly special hardware isn't needed to push pricing into your scales, or move into the POS programs. GENESIS takes great pride in our abilities to craft software designed with a true intuitive interface, and you the user in mind. Our GWARE line of software isn't batched based like others, but date driven so thinking is as easy as a calendar. Here at GENESIS we listen to our clients, because you have some of the best ideas. Many times, features incorporated in the latest versions come from ideas our clients request. So when others say they listen to the customer, here at GENESIS we really do!
We believe that software and hardware shouldn't be difficult, or priced out of the reach of smaller Grocery owners. We support locations as large as 100+ stores, and as little as 1, but stay true to the ideals that we will craft the most cost effective software in our segment period!
GENESIS will always work hard to earn your valued business, and will "Making software work!" not only be our moniker but our focus.

Gregory Nelson, Co-Founder Greg is
the brain trust here at Genesis. His development skills go back in computer
time to the late 70’s where he worked evenings crafting code for companies
that didn’t have any idea what computers really could do. During the early PC
(personal computer) days, before even DELL, Gateway he worked on coding his
home brew computer, and hung out with the early NERDS of the time (STEVE’S,
BILL’S, PAUL'S). During these early years software grew slowly due to
systems being slow, and expensive. When Windows started as an idea Greg
leaped onboard for what can only be called a rollercoaster in tech. He has
worked for Microsoft, Apple, GE, PPG, Tandon Computer and others, and on
projects for Motorola, Lucent/Bell, WW Grainger and a list that looks like a
who’s who. Greg also is the developer
of STEP Series Software, GENTools, and a host of other database centric
applications which are used by 100’s of companies here in the |
