CRS, Inc. was founded in 1927 as an independent cash register dealership. In the 1960s, under the direction of the late Ken Sanders, CRS expanded operations to include a rebuilding facility and distribution center for used and reconditioned NCR cash registers.

Beginning in the 1970's electronic cash registers (ECRs) emerged replacing electro-mechanical cash registers. CRS led the industry with CRS designed and developed first generation ECRs manufactured in the USA. Then, through import relationships with major Japanese manufacturers, CRS introduced low-cost ECRs to the North American cash register dealer channel, and expanded distribution to the office products reseller channel.

In the mid-1980's, CRS began a relationship with Samsung Electronics as the exclusive importer/distributor for Samsung ECRs in North America. In 2001, Samsung Electronics sold their ECR operation to their manufacturing subcontractor, Shin Heung Precision Co., Ltd. (SHC). CRS has continued the relationship with SHC establishing the SAM4s brand to succeed the Samsung brand. Together CRS and SHC have grown the SAM4s product line to become the world's most respected ECR brand.

In 1974, the CRS Parts Division was established, offering industry related parts and supplies through direct mail and telemarketing. As the PC-based POS market emerged in the 1980's and 1990's, CRS added POS peripheral products, including POS printers, cash drawers and terminals. Today, CRS peripherals are offered by hundreds of POS resellers and are certified or compatible with most popular POS application software brands.
