NCR Corporation, a global leader in omni-channel solutions, announced a new online purchase platform, allowing prospective U.S. based customers to browse available options and purchase the NCR Silver cloud-based point-of-sale solution designed for small- to mid-market business owners. NCR’s new product purchasing platform for the NCR Silver solution streamlines the buying process for interested consumers and provides them a multitude of opportunities.

The NCR Silver solution is designed to enable SMB business owners to meet their goals by providing many of the same tools used by larger enterprises – such as detailed analytics, e-commerce capabilities and the ability to manage their businesses remotely – all at an affordable cost.

“NCR is leading the way in transforming how business is conducted,” said Chris Poelma, President and GM of NCR Small Business. “Our new online purchase platform automates the selection and purchase process for prospective customers, providing them the ability to interact with the buying process more easily and helps save them their most precious commodity: time. Prospective customers can research, get recommendations and purchase all within minutes, whenever and wherever it’s convenient for them.”

With the launch of this new online purchase platform, NCR will streamline the purchasing journey, allowing prospective customers to build and customize their NCR Silver solution on the go, or from their store or office. Once users answer a few simple questions about their business and goals, the online purchase platform provides users with recommended available NCR Silver solutions and simple, easy checkout and account setup. “The online shopping platform is user-friendly and straightforward. It was a quick and easy process to find the right solution for my business. Based on the user questions, NCR Silver Quantum was the best match for my bakery,” said Lincoln Kretchmar, owner of Kretchmar’s Bakery in Beaver, Pennsylvania.

This is the first time NCR has offered an online purchase option of any core products to non-authenticated prospective customers, and current plans aim to expand this option to also serve the needs of existing U.S. based NCR Silver customers, including multi-unit businesses, offering a new avenue to automate a portion of the onboarding process for their new locations. “I have seven business locations all using NCR Silver,” said Nick Seman, Franchisee of TES Wireless. “I’ve used online shopping platforms plenty of times and I had a very seamless experience ordering from the NCR Silver online service.”
