Community Impact


Learn more about the businesses and lives our initiatives have impacted

Below is a sample of the feedback we've received from program participants.  We're extremely humbled by their interest in sharing their business's involvement in a public forum, and hopeful that their stories inspire others to join our program in the future!

“Our restaurant hesitated to change point of sale vendors due to the daunting time commitment and technically requirements. With CRA's help we selected and installed the Quantic POS solution seamlessly with our day-to-day operations. Our new system enables many new features like online sales, is super easy for staff to work with, and saved us thousands in fees. After 13 years with the wrong POS, CRA helped us make the change in less than 3 weeks. From start to finish, everybody has been very helpful. This program has been very good for our business and comes at an important time. “

“Having been born and raised in Boston, the community has done so much for me throughout my entire life. Now, it’s important that I give back to my community and set an example of what it’s like to be an entrepreneur. This program has not only given me the understanding of what I need to run a successful operation, but the confidence to do so. I truly appreciate the patience and support the team has provided me throughout the entire process. The relationship and commitment is priceless.”

“I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for allowing me and my brand to be a part of such an amazing organization. I am overjoyed and overwhelmed with emotions. I can't stress enough how grateful I am, but I will show you by working my hardest and achieving my goals with your assistance.    You guys have a life changing program, especially for people such as myself, so I would just like to wish you all the best, success and longevity! Anything you ever need from me in the future please don't hesitate at all.”

“As a small non-profit corporation, we have limited funds and due to the current health crisis, we need to take immediate actions to streamline and improve our daily operations, finance and customer services to adapt to the new reality and reopen our programs and services. With our budget, we would not be able to have this new technology and these opportunities. We are quite grateful for this program. “

“It’s really important to me as a business owner that I balance a positive employee and customer experience. Technology has been critical to the success of being able to do so. Not only has this program allowed me to deliver an ordering solution that’s easy for my employees to use, but it’s also easy for my customers. The program has improved my quality of life and has ultimately allowed for the growth of my small business within our community.”
