Steven Erickson, President, Front Line Systems
Steve Erickson is a brilliant out of the box thinker. He excels at designing innovative solutions to complex business problems. One of his greatest strengths is being able to understand what the customer is trying to achieve, envision the big picture goal, and then break it into manageable projects or phases that allow the customer to see progress while still maintaining their day-to-day workload.
Steve founded Front Line Systems over 30 years ago. His experience in sales and operations combined with the experience of founding a manufacturing startup gave him an in-depth understanding of the accounting department as well as warehouse operations. He especially enjoys working with small and mid-sized businesses; helping them dream for the future and grow their businesses in ways that make sense for them and their industry.
Leveraging software and technologies in all these pursuits and being able to explain those technologies to everyone in the organization has been the hallmark of Front Line Systems.
