The Story Behind Our Retail Industry Software Solutions
Putting Retailers Back In Control Since 1998
CerTek Software Designs began over twenty years ago when two creative software designers, Kurt Gollhardt and David Roberts, made a surprising discovery. They had both developed remarkably similar point of sale (POS) software–before ever meeting each other. Both programs shared the ease-of-use and thoughtful design geared toward the independent retailer. They combined the best of these two programs to make Artisan POS (originally called Artisan Storefront).
CerTek brings a unique perspective to the design of retail industry software solutions for small and medium stores. Besides years of software development experience, David and Kurt both have extensive retail knowledge. David owned and operated his own frame shop for over 10 years. Kurt grew up with the family business, an American fine craft store and gallery (Beautiful Things in Scotch Plains, NJ), in business for over 30 years. We believe in treating our customers with respect and offering helpful, friendly service. Our customer-focused staff is ready to help you, whether you’re ordering a roll of labels–or taking the first step toward a point of sale software.
