As a buyer at JCPenney, Jim Lewis learned of his vendors' struggle sharing the responsibility of managing the business at their retail partners and on July 1, 2002 Jim started a consulting business to help such vendors.
Very quickly he realised he needed software to automate the study of hundreds of sku's across thousands of doors of the national chains. Originally commissioned as internally used software, Jim quickly learned of client interest in the software as well. This led to commercialisation of that software.
ERS' state of the art software tools and consulting deliver critical data quickly, easily and cost effectively, adding over one hundred million dollars to their clients' bottom line. ERS' broad customer base includes industry leaders in the apparel, footwear, home textile, toy, home décor, home improvement, electronics, consumer products, housewares and food industries. (SV)
