Essentialware was born from the drive to create and deliver solutions.

It all began with a conversation, and a willingness to listen.

Our customers represent a diverse global community of essential businesses. In our line of work, we need to have real conversations based on mutual respect.

We work in collaboration to solve problems and create custom solutions that make sense.

We’re happiest when we can help our customers grow their business while improving the lives of their customers through more efficient, more sustainable, and more profitable operations.

We are committed to investing in our people, providing training and growth opportunities that will give them the space and flexibility to succeed without limits. We are all links in the chain. We run a low stress environment because everyone is working to the same end: to improve as peers, to improve as professionals, and to help our customers. We sell with honesty and never lead a customer into a product they don’t need. We uncover problems and face every challenge with a “we can figure it out” attitude. We are motivated to continually improve, differentiate and innovate to make a difference.We’re proud to also support the growth of our community. We are a 5 consecutive year recipient of the Lake-Geauga Fast Track 50, an award recognizing us as one of the fastest growing businesses in the area. In 2023 were inducted into the FT50 Hall of Fame. In 2022 we were also recognized by Weatherhead 100 for our commitment to entrepreneurship.

And our most ambitious plans are only just beginning to be realized.
