“We have not had one system fail to go live since 1977, when we started Davidson Richards”
Please see below a letter from our CEO, Richard Goodley
“We’ve been providing solutions since 1977, serving customers across many retail sectors. Our proven EPoS and retail management solution is called ‘OpSuite’, which is perfect for retailers with single or multiple stores whether new to EPoS or previously using a different solution.
Who are we?
We are a company founded by David Goodley, who was a product of an engineering apprenticeship at Rolls Royce Aero Engines. In 1967, David emigrated to San Jose, California, as part of the famous ‘brain drain’, and undertook another informal ‘apprenticeship’ in computing in the crucible of the fledgling Silicon Valley.
David returned to the UK and in 1977 established Davidson-Richards.
Our Founder believed that your word and a handshake was as binding as a contract with the traditional values of honesty and hard work, which continue through this organisation today.
The current CEO – Richard Goodley, Commercial Director – Keith Bateman and Operations Director – Chris Worthington, joined the organisation in 1992 and have been in their Directorship positions since 2002. Amongst the 35+ staff who comprise the Davidson-Richards team there are many long standing members which accumulation to over 450 years of service.
Our team is made up with dedicated professionals from inhouse developers and testers, implementation consultants, technical & software support and customer services which results in over 70% of our team being directly involved in the epos technical and epos support delivery roles for our customers. We believe that this ratio is significantly higher than the epos industry standard and in real terms this is a practical demonstration of our commitment to provide our customers with the greatest value for money available on the market.
What do we do?
We provide an effective cloud-based EPoS & Retail Management solution to help retailers manage their business/organisation more efficiently & profitably by using just one solution.
Proven & scalable our OpSuite solution runs locally in-store for resilient trading at the tills. With cloud based back office and HQ management that you can access anywhere in the world with Internet Explorer, your total cost of ownership and levels of maintenance are significantly reduced.
We take care of upgrades, updates & backups for you, so you’re free to focus on retailing.”
