From start-up to sector insider

Built By Insiders

For almost fifty years, Davidson Richards has been helping specialist retailers increase revenue and reduce admin. With many long-standing customer relationships – some spanning 20+ years – the DavRich brand has built a reputation for reliability and deep retail expertise.

With the launch of OpSuite in 2012, customers gained access to a cloud-based retail management and EPOS platform developed by sector experts; one that integrates seamlessly with core business systems and closes the gaps left by off-the-shelf systems.

The product continues to be developed further, backed most recently by Davidson Richards joining ClearCourse – a leading provider of industry-specific software and embedded payment solutions for SMEs.

This partnership supported the growth of our in-house payment solution, OpSuitePay, and provides uninterrupted product development, while we continue to be there for our customers with the same personal, hands-on consultancy, training, and support that has defined our approach from the start.
