Launched by NCR
Corporation (NYSE : NCR), NCR Silver is now available at www.ncrsilver.com

cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) software platform that enables small
business owners and entrepreneurs to take payments and manage their
entire business with one POS solution, changing the way small business
owners manage their business. It operates on Apple devices like the
iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.
Already in use around metro Atlanta, NCR Silver is transforming pilot
customers’ businesses, freeing up their time, allowing them to run their
businesses more efficiently and paying for itself in increased sales.
According to Tiffany Hodson, co-owner of NCR Silver pilot store Mac
Bakeshop & Eatery in Buford, Ga., “NCR Silver allows us to understand
what’s going on with our business, which is key to being profitable. And
the easy-to-run reports have been a huge time-saver.” Additional NCR

“NCR Silver takes the best of big-business technology and brings it to
small business in an affordable package that’s easy to use; enabling

business. “NCR Silver comes complete with customer service only an
established company like NCR can provide, delivering accessible,
affordable, cloud-based technology to small business people who make up
the backbone of our economy. NCR Silver is much more than a simple

they need to succeed.”
Here’s how:

Run the business – NCR Silver’s analytics allow small businesses
owners to track inventory and transactions, see profit margins and
manage other key business information. With its cloud-based interface,
this information can be accessed from any computer with internet
access.

Connect with customers – Template and custom marketing capabilities
give business owners the ability to easily and seamlessly launch
digital marketing campaigns aimed at welcoming new customers,
informing customers of sales, new inventory and store events, and
sending other messages that drive sales activity.
-
Sell anywhere – NCR Silver operates like a traditional POS system when
combined with a credit card reader, iPad stand, wireless receipt
printer and wireless cash drawer. The Apple device running NCR Silver
can also be taken around the store to take payments or offer more
intimate customer service or outside the store to sell at remote
locations like farmers’ markets and street fairs. When paired with the
end-to-end encrypted card reader, NCR Silver is among the most secure
ways to take mobile payments available today – giving peace of mind to
small business owners and their customers.
NCR Silver is available for download to Apple mobile devices from www.ncrsilver.com
and from the Apple App Store for a monthly subscription price of $79.

connected device, on-going alerts, digital marketing tools, live
customer care, and next day hardware replacement for any NCR Silver
hardware purchases.
The available NCR Silver hardware bundle includes a wireless receipt
printer, an iPad stand, a cash drawer and an encrypted credit card
reader. This configuration is ideal for businesses that need a central
POS area but that also wish to use their POS device in their store
aisles or outside. For businesses that want to be entirely mobile, NCR
Silver offers the encrypted card reader only solution. Apple devices
that run NCR Silver are not sold by NCR.
NCR Silver will initially only be available in the United States.
