NCR Silver Special Promotion

OK - so NCR is very interested in having their existing dealers offer the NCR Silver point of sale system. As a reminder, NCR Silver is designed to work on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) while allowing access to the management and reporting part of NCR Silver through a web browser.

NCR Silver is not a full blown point of sale system but falls in between what a cash register and computer-based based of sale system can do.  NCR Silver is more advanced that other tablet based solutions like Clover and can be used in both retail and food service environments.

So...here is what I can offer you if you sign up for NCR Silver through me before June 30th, 2013:

• First month free (credit card still required for signup)
• Next five months at only $49/month (normal price is $79/month)
• Free standard ground shipping on hardware (cash drawer, receipt printer, barcode scanner, etc)

The above represents a savings of around $150/station and expires on June 30th, 2013.  You need to contact me to take advantage of this special offer. 

We have our first NCR Silver customer about to go online this week so I will also get some feedback from them in a few weeks to see what they think of NCR Silver.

Overriding Global Commission Settings

Greetings from Utah – It is great spending some time meeting a few of our 70+ Utah customers in person! Some final thoughts on tracking commissions in NCR CounterPoint and Microsoft RMS Store Operations:

Since you may have some products that you do not want to pay commission on (like discount or clearance items), Microsoft RMS allows you to set item specific commission settings that override the sales reps commission settings.

You will find these settings under the “Commissions” tab within Item Properties. It looks like this:

You can see the options as a far as not allowing commissions, using the sale reps commissions settings, or using item specific commission settings. Again, very helpful for discount and clearance items were it doesn't make sense to pay normal commissions.

To accomplish the same item specific commission override in NCR CounterPoint, you will need to contact your NCR CounterPoint partner. You could also elect to not include a salesperson with certain sales transactions in NCR CounterPoint which would prevent the system from tracking a commission.
