Innovative app-based technology for small businesses is ideal for restaurateurs, retailers and service providers looking for solutions that can help them grow

 NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR), a global leader in omni-channel solutions, has launched the NCR Silver family of point-of-sale (POS) products in the U.K.

With NCR Silver, U.K.-based merchants can turn their tablet into a POS system. This cloud-based payment, marketing and business management solution operates on iOS and closed Android devices. It is designed for small business retailers, restaurateurs and service providers who need a mobile solution to not only complete transactions but manage business from anywhere.

“U.K.-based merchants will find an innovative and established business partner in NCR, the company that holds the first U.S. patent on the cash register,” said Chris Poelma, president and general manager of NCR Silver. “For any small business with growth on its mind, NCR Silver delivers a rich solution set and intuitive technology that makes it easy to expand.”

Solutions include:

• NCR Silver core app, which offers mobile payments, intuitive sales reporting, integrated loyalty and more, and is suitable for small to medium-sized businesses
• NCR Silver Pro Restaurant app, which is designed for food-service merchants who want to serve customers faster, optimise staffing, manage table locations, provide promotional pricing and more
• An add-on service that delivers advanced reporting and easy-to-use employee- and inventory-management tools
• Integrated credit with multiple processors for freedom of choice

NCR Silver offers 24/7 customer support and the unique NCR Silver Concierge^TM service, which provides initial remote setup and remote monthly menu maintenance.

NCR Silver launched in the United States in 2012 to tap a small business market looking for new cloud-based POS solutions. Since then, NCR Silver has attracted a loyal following – from “micro” merchants to major multi-location franchises such as Waffle House.

One customer, Curt Campbell, CEO of The Oilerie, a growing artisan olive oil and vinegar retailer, chose NCR Silver for reliability, cloud-based flexibility and customer support.

“With NCR Silver, we’re moving ahead,” said Campbell. “We’re now using the latest tech at The Oilerie. That helps us with franchisee prospects who are looking at us and they see that we are cutting edge.”
