ProfitCenter Systems (PCS) Announces Shut Down
Last Friday we received several calls from PCS (order management software provider) clients about the announced shut down notice they had just received. This morning I talked with PCS’ President John Marrah to understand better the reasons and what the time frames are for companies to make transitions to new vendor platforms.
Two things which I wish to pass along to my reader’s from John Marrah:
- Systemax and Mr. Marrah are going to do everything they can to help the current PCS client companies make an orderly decision and transition. The reality is that this needs to happen in the next 6 to 8 months for companies.
- On behalf of Systemax, Mr. Marrah also said that he is actively looking for a buyer for the application and technology used in the PCS product.
I’m not going to editorialize over the bones of PCS. Every time an order management software vendor or resource fails in our industry to me it’s a tragedy. Certainly, PCS with its SaaS order management systems approach blazed a new trail. Our industry thrives on new approaches, no matter if it’s technology, data base approaches, printing technologies, e-mail marketing approaches.
We are working with several PCS users to chart their new directions for order management software. Contact us if we can help you.
