NCR Counterpoint -- a complete solution for high volume retailers
Pros
- 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
Cons
- Their wireless solution only works on Android, so they need to get this working better on iOS too.
- Their mobile solution only works on iOS, so they need to get this working on Android.
- I'd like to see a built-in scale integration. E-Plum works well, but it's 3rd party.
Return on Investment
- We upgraded from an older POS system - one that really had no place in a busy retail atmosphere - so right there, every dollar spent on a proper system was what you can say - well spent.
- The feature set of the software solution is very robust, and you get it all - no modular buys here. Whether you use it all is another story, and training can get quite expensive! But out of the box - with install and rollout help form you partner - you get a full on system that gives quite a lot of bang for the buck.
- The only negative ROI I can see is with the NCR hardware. We went all in through an official partner, and we also went all in on the hardware side of the solution. That said - the NCR name brand hardware is expensive, and therefor will take the longest to recoup. However - being on the full hardware replacement plan means that we'll always have the newest - and guaranteed working - hardware. We'll have to see over time is this proves to be negative or not. So far, after about 2 years solid use - no issues to report on the stations or virtually any of the peripherals.
