About us
Our journey is defined by a relentless pursuit of innovation and a deep commitment to our clients.
Our goal is to ensure that you have reliable software, hardware, and support that minimizes or eliminates downtime. We only work with national hardware vendors who offer 7/365 support and a consistent track record of fast response and outstanding customer service. Currently, our hardware partners include HP, Touch Dynamics, Epson, Honeywell and other premier brands that share our reliability standards.
Since our story never ends, we continue writing chapters in CARDWATCH’s history of success. Our continuous improvement philosophy, based on our experiences as well as client requests, keeps us busy making the CARDWATCH experience better each and every day.
Years of delivering innovative POS solutions
Locations served across North America.
Users benefiting daily from our platform.
CARDWATCH has been serving clients for over 25 years. Originally established in 1983 as The Retail Systems Group, we became an industry leader by 1988 with our Open Platform POS software, focused on reducing costs, enhancing customer experience, and speeding up transaction times. In 1990, CARDWATCH™ was launched as a real-time Spending Management solution, first used at the University of Toronto, a client we still serve today.
Our CARDWATCH™ suite has since evolved into one of North America’s leading Privilege & Spending Management tools. Today, we are a top choice for One Card solutions in senior living communities and healthcare institutions.
