Telecom Lead America: NCR and Elavon, a part of U.S. Bancorp, will combine NCR’s tablet and mobile-based point-of-sale (POS) technology with Elavon’s payment processing and distribution channels to offer affordable POS solutions to SMBs.
NCR Silver, NCR’s cloud-based, small business POS system, is available through Elavon’s sales channels. With Elavon’s processing and the addition of NCR Silver to its payment solutions portfolio, the new offering is positioned to small business owners when they are looking to start or grow their businesses.
“We continue to expand our distribution network to make sure NCR Silver is in front of small business owners and those thinking of starting a small business when they make their crucial POS system decisions,” said Christian Nahas, vice president of the NCR small business team.
The convergence of tablets, mobile commerce and cloud-based computing has resulted in the delivery of new, affordable point-of-sale solutions for small businesses.
Marianne Johnson, executive vice president, global product & innovation at Elavon, said: “Until recently, these technologies were not built around the specific needs of many small business owners. Now, small businesses can take advantage of both the latest in payment technology as well as a single, comprehensive solution for managing day-to-day business transactions and record keeping.”
Cloud-based technology allows NCR Silver to go beyond simple payment swipe and cash-register functions, giving small business owners the power to easily track sales, profits and inventory; market to customers with targeted and customized email campaigns; analyze business trends; and manage business finances.
