CBC Technovations, the current support provider for the Empire-214 platform, has partnered with HomeSource Systems, a leading retail technology company, to offer Empire-214 retailers more options and hands-on support as they plan for the future of their businesses.

This new partnership is designed to give Empire-214 customers a clear path forward—whether they choose to remain on their existing Empire-214 platform, securely export their data for use elsewhere, or take advantage of a smooth transition into HomeSource’s fully integrated business management platform.

HomeSource Systems offers a cloud-based retail solution that includes point-of-sale, inventory management, accounting, payments, e-commerce, and marketing tools, all built specifically for independent retailers. Through the partnership, CBC Technovations and HomeSource are working together to assist retailers who want to migrate their data and explore new capabilities.

“Our goal is to support retailers, not disrupt them,” said James White, COO at HomeSource Systems. “We understand how important these systems are to day-to-day operations. This partnership is about providing options, not pressure—and giving retailers the resources they need if they choose to move forward.”

Empire-214 customers are under no obligation to change platforms. Those who choose to stay on the system can continue working with CBC Technovations for ongoing support. For retailers who are interested in exploring other solutions, HomeSource and CBC will provide the guidance and migration support necessary to make the process efficient and reliable.

“Every retailerʼs needs are different,” said Chris Collins, President of CBC Technologies. “By teaming up with HomeSource, weʼre making sure Empire-214 customers have the support they need to take the next step—whatever that looks like for their business.”

Retailers who are interested in exploring their options or learning more about how this partnership can support their business goals are encouraged to reach out. Whether you’re looking to stay where you are, make a move, or simply understand whatʼs available, both HomeSource Systems and CBC Technovations are here to help.
