The History of CELTS

Around 1988 a community bank needed help tracking their Cash Collection Items. They were unable to find something to do what they needed. So the President of the bank created a DOS based application to accomplish what he need. When the bank was sold, he decided to rewrite the application and build a company around it.

In 1994 Efficiency Tools was founded and began selling a DOS based program that tracked Cash, Non-Cash and Incoming collection items. Since then the application has grown through the early Windows environment to what you see today.

In 1996 one of our client banks asked if we could add the capacity to track floor plans. With them servings as our Beta site we added Floor Plans to the system.

The capacity to print Temporary Checks and Loan Payment coupons along with Cashier’s Checks was added around 1999.

Then in just the last eighteen months we have added two modules partially driven by regulatory change (EFT Disputes and Wire Transfers).

The software has been installed in nearly 200 locations and is currently used by banks housed in one location and banks with over 100 branches. Many of our clients have been purchased by the likes of Compass and other large banks. However we still serve over 60 installations with a combined total of over 200 branches.
