NCompass Advanced Retail

What is NCompass?

NCompass Advanced Retail is a robust software solution that turns a regular computer into a user-friendly system designed to manage every aspect of your business.

Tailored specifically for electrical retailers of all sizes, NCompass comes in various editions to meet the needs and budgets of everyone from small independent shops to large retail chains and e-commerce operations. This adaptability is evident in its features, user-friendliness, and pricing, enabling any business to invest in a system that can evolve alongside their changing needs.

The software efficiently monitors your inventory and customer data, seamlessly integrating this information with other functionalities. The Sales system not only generates and tracks invoices but also produces End-of-Day reports to facilitate cash management.

Additionally, a complete Electronic Point of Sale system is available, and with the simple addition of cash register hardware, NCompass can effectively replace your existing register and credit card terminal.

Why do I need a new computer system?

Every business has its unique characteristics, and the advantages of a computer system can differ significantly from one organisation to another. Whether you're relying on a traditional paper-based method, or an outdated software solution, investing in a system specifically tailored for your needs can offer numerous benefits.

For example, NCompass would let you:

  • Find out how much money a customer owes you
  • Get an instant stock valuation, or check the stock level of any item
  • View a complete history for any item in the system
  • Look-up the telephone number for any customer in the system
  • Check the date of purchase for an item
  • Check the status of an item on repair
  • Check how busy each delivery van is
  • Find out how much you paid for an item a customer is asking for a deal on
  • Track a customer’s order for an item, and be notified when it comes into stock
