Jonas Software has acquired CRB Solutions, a leading cashless catering and payment solutions provider to the UK's Primary and Secondary Education Market.
CRB's secure IMPACT cashless catering products have been deployed in the market since 1993, with over 1 million users in 3000+ schools. IMPACT enhances the catering operation, with each solution designed to meet the particular requirements for a school or local authority.
CRB Solutions design builds and maintains industry-leading, reliable and functional cashless catering and payment systems providing full service from consultancy, installation, training, and launch through to an exceptional after-sales support and maintenance service.
CRB Solutions will continue to operate as they did before. Their distribution relationship with Cunningham Cash Registers, Ltd ("Cunninghams") will remain in full force, with CRB Solutions leveraging the financial support and software expertise of the Jonas Group.
"We are incredibly excited to be a part of the Jonas Software group of companies. Their depth and breadth of knowledge in the vertical software industry, specifically in the education market, is a welcome addition to our business. We will continue to support and enhance our systems and focus on customer requests and our R&D efforts to keep our clients engaged.
We have a special relationship with Cunninghams, and it will only grow stronger as a result of this acquisition", says Managing Director David Swanston. "Cunningham's success is our success, so now as in the past, we will continue our support as partners in every way possible."
CRB and Cunninghams have had a supplier/distributor relationship for more than 20 years. Their teams are an extension of each other, and they both excel in selling, training, and servicing their clients, focusing on providing value for money and solid, stable systems.
Co-Managing Director of Cunninghams, Albert Czaja, said, "Seeing Jonas acquire CRB and with their track record in the software industry, we know that our customers will continue to be in good hands. We expect even more innovation to come from CRB, and we will, of course, share these developments with our large and ever-growing client base in England and Wales".
