PCI DSS and CISP Compliance

eCommerce

Seamless integration with your retail management system means less administration.

Maintain a Centralized Inventory

Inventory Management

NCR Counterpoint offers a powerful inventory management solution including a top of the line inventory management software and tracking system.

Our dynamic point of sale system for managing inventory includes a customizable matrix, reporting, loss prevention, variable pricing and much more.

​Complete Record

Record everything you need to know about your merchandise in our inventory tracking software. Group items by category and sub category, assign multiple vendors, units, and barcodes to each item. Track apparel by SKU and big-ticket items by serial number. Print labels on demand.

Search your inventory from anywhere in NCR Counterpoint so that information is always at your fingertips. NCR Counterpoint’s inventory management software offers a complete set of inventory management capabilities that ultimately improve the flow of your business.

​Bundle Items

Group, sell, and track related items in bundles with kit functionality. You can track items in a specific bundle, in loose combinations, or as finished goods.

Create tag-along kits, which allow you to assign “tag-along” items, like delivery or service fees, to any inventory item. Or use bills of material to define, assemble, and sell manufactured goods from their component parts.

​Physical Count

Count your items and track variances with a complete physical inventory system. Freeze specific items, categories, or locations and count part of your inventory while operations continue in other areas.

Enter counts manually or import them from handheld scanners, including iOS devices running NCR Counterpoint Mobile. Automatically adjust items for which the count varies from the frozen quantity.

Pricing

Managing and pricing your inventory correctly makes for a more efficient and profitable company. Assign up to six prices for each item. Price by store or by color/size with location-specific and SKU-specific pricing.

Custom price rules let you set up complex promotional, contract, and special price scenarios, as well as mix-and-match pricing, BOGO, and quantity at a price deals. Margin-driven pricing lets you control your prices dynamically to meet your profit goals.

Transfer Merchandise

Transfer inventory easily between stocking locations. Receive inventory at a central location, and then transfer the right quantities to your other locations.

The Transfer Advice report suggests items and quantities to transfer based on maximum stocking levels or replenishment calculations, making it easy to figure out the best way to distribute your merchandise.

Shelf Analysis

NCR Counterpoint includes more than 40 reports that provide current and historical information about your inventory, helping you make pricing, merchandising, and purchasing decisions, increase your turn rate, and maximize your gross margin return on investment (GMROI).

Payment Security

With multiple security layers, NCR Secure Pay minimizes your risk for a credit card security breach.

This hosted electronic payment gateway helps you address the key elements of payment security: data storage and transmission of cardholder information.
​Transmit Encrypted Data

Using Point-to-Point Encryption, NCR Secure Pay encrypts credit card data from the moment the card is swiped by your customer. This process ensures that sensitive card information is encrypted throughout its lifecycle in your environment and minimizes the risk of an unauthorized user scraping that credit card data from database memory.

A green box with a padlock will appear on your POS screen when the data has been encrypted and is being transferred securely.

Minimize Your Risk

NCR Secure Pay allows you to process payments in a PCI-DSS compliant manner. We take the storage of sensitive card information out of your local system and move it to our NCR Secure Pay host to minimize the chance of a credit card breach. Point-to-Point Encryption further reduces your exposure by securing sensitive information during transmission.

Store Data Securely

Instead of storing sensitive credit card information in your store’s database, NCR Secure Pay uses a process called tokenization to store a code, or token, in its place. The actual card information is encrypted and stored on our network environment. The token allows authorized users access to transaction information as needed for returns and other operations while maintaining a protected system.

Automated Credit Card Settlements

With card information removed from your database and secured on a separate host, you have flexibility with credit card settlements. Automate your settlements to happen daily at the time of your choosing or settle transactions remotely using the NCR Secure Pay merchant portal.
