LEGACY
Automated Business Systems (ABS) was founded in 1983 by Richard J. Braniff, with the help of his father, James Jay Braniff (JJ Braniff). What began as a small operation selling check signers, endorsers, and encoders has grown into a leading provider of innovative cash/coin processing, check handling, and document solutions throughout Texas and the U.S.
From day one, the Braniff family has been committed to one guiding principle: SERVICE FIRST. This philosophy has been instilled by Rick and JJ and remains the cornerstone of Automated Business System’s success. The Braniff family’s hands-on approach and unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction have established ABS as a trusted partner for industries ranging from finance to government and retail to a variety of small businesses.
After Rick’s passing in 2012, his brother, Martin Braniff, graciously took over the family business. Martin continued the family’s legacy of integrity and exceptional service. Martin has been instrumental in guiding ABS through the next chapter, ensuring the same commitment to quality and customer satisfaction that Rick had instilled in the company.
As Martin Braniff now enjoys retirement, the Braniff family remains deeply involved in the company's success. Rick’s two daughters, Emalee Crisler, and Natalee Braniff, are now proud to carry on the family legacy as owners of Automated Business Systems. As the next generation of leadership, Emalee and Natalee are excited to steer the company into the future while staying true to the SERVICE FIRST philosophy that have been at the heart of ABS for over 40 years.
