NCR CounterPoint is a retail management solution, from NCR Corporation. The software features point of sale, an inventory management system, customer management, and reporting and analytics.
Epicor Propello is incredibly user friendly from both a front-end user and a back-end user. Cashiers have an ease in learning the software and everything they need is on the screen in front of them. This means that even if they were to forget how something works, it is present on the screen if they look for it. Back end is easy to work with also. We have slowly progressed to using the different features this offers including tracking and maintaining supplies, new goods and donations. They are straight forward on how to use, and the support team has always been there for us when we have had any questions. They are rolling out a BETA this mid-year to allow companies to build out their own data-based reporting platform that I am really looking forward too.
It is a definite solution for a basic store point of sale, we prefer Ingenico card swipes and Epson receipt printers and have had great, reliable success. We have setup the same system at events with VPN connectivity to its server and it works very well with the only bottle-neck being connectivity, this did cause a 3-8 second delay with receipt printing, but was manageable. Mobile tablet in store works well with credit card sales, and can print wirelessly, cashless here is best. Inventory managem[e]nt is vast, with terrific reporting.
Offline mode -- your POS server can go down - you can still ring sales. Your internet can go down, and you can still ring sales and accept chip-based credit cards. Wow.
Mobile and wireless. Mobile -- you can take your POS on the road and ring sales out in the field, at trade shows or at a flea market booth. Wireless inventory, and order picking - you can walk around the store and ring sales, perform inventory, pick orders, intake items, edit pricing, print labels, etc. Again - Wow.
Magento integration -- with the help of a 3rd party connector, we're integrating our CP system tightly with our Magento based website. This keeps us working out of one system with multiple channels.
E-Plum scale software integration -- we can update prices and information within our scales with this integration, right out of CP
It is honestly just so easy to use and setup. This has helped our culture at work a ton! The crew used to get very nervous about running register, that is not the case anymore
Clover is a nice system for a small one or two location enterprise, but with Epicor it is full service and the credit card processing fees are much more affordable as well.
We interviewed quite a few systems while researching a POS replacement for our current retail store. We had things like a second store, a fully integrated website, accounting system integrations, inventory management, restaurant-style ordering integrations, etc. in mind as we made our way through that process. We also made our way around the area to see what other retailers - similar to us - were using as a POS system. After much deliberation, many demos and conference sales calls, we settled on NCR CP because this system did everything we wanted and so much more. But perhaps the biggest reason why we went with NCR was the local support availability. There's more than one player in that field available in the greater NYC area, and we are very happy with the current support team but we also know that should we want or need to, we can switch support to another team, and have no issues going forward. That was a big part of this decision for sure.
