What is NCompass?
NCompass Advanced Retail is a powerful software package that transforms a standard computer into an easy-to-use system to help you run all aspects of your business. NCompass has been especially designed for electrical retailers of any size, and is available in different editions to suit the needs and budgets of the smallest independent retailer or service business, through to the high demands of large multiple chains and ecommerce businesses. This flexibility is reflected in the features, ease-of-use and pricing of the system, and allows any business to purchase a system which will grow and adapt to their changing requirements.
The system will keep track of your stock and customers, and link this information through to other facilities; the Sales system generates and tracks invoices, and produces End-of-Day reports ready for cashing up.
Of course, complete Electronic Point of Sale is available, and the simple addition of till hardware allows NCompass to replace your till and credit card terminal.

Integrated Card Processing
Our optional chip & pin solution integrates directly with the rest of the system, to provide a complete solution in a single package. The solution is also available as a stand-alone package for locations where EPOS is not required, and in both wireless and mobile terminals, suitable for movement about the shop, or even for carrying out authorisations in your delivery van!
When processing a transaction in NCompass, the system will automatically transfer the correct payment amount to the card processing system. On-screen prompts guide you through the process, while the PIN pad prompts the customer as necessary.
