MCR Systems, a leading provider of software and electronic point of sale systems has been acquired by Jonas Software, a subsidiary of Toronto listed Constellation Software Inc.

Established in 1978, MCR Systems has over thirty-five years’ experience in providing enterprise management solutions technology. MCR Systems has become a leader in the sector by combining high quality software, cutting edge electronic point of sale technology and an unrivalled level of service. The business has a proven track record supplying and supporting leading multi-site, multi-brand and multi-concept organisations.

Jonas operates over 70 independently managed software companies around the world, providing them with the strategic guidance and financial security required to be leaders in their respective markets.

Matthew Gatter, MCR Systems Managing Director, commented:

“We are extremely pleased to be joining the Jonas Group and add to the strength of their existing software offering. The acquisition means MCR Systems is ideally placed to continue leading the way in electronic point of sale technology within our chosen markets.”
