Choosing the right point of sale (POS) system is critical to your success as a business owner. Two popular POS systems on the market are the Clover POS system and NCC Reflection. Both serve the same purpose. However, what makes them different? While both Clover POS and NCC Reflection are comprehensive point-of-sale systems, there are some key differences between the two.
What is Clover?
Clover is a point-of-sale system designed for small to medium-sized businesses that allows them to process transactions, track sales, and generate reports. The system is user-friendly, secure, and designed to improve the overall customer experience, as well as managing all aspects of a business’s transactions.
What is NCC Reflection?
NCC Reflection is a point-of-sale system designed for businesses in various industries, such as food service, retail, bars, and more. It is a highly customizable POS system with a range of features, including inventory management, employee management, sales analysis, and reporting. The system is designed to improve efficiency, reduce operating costs, and enhance the overall customer experience.
What makes them different?
1. Customization: NCC Reflection is highly customizable, allowing businesses to tailor the system to their specific needs. Clover POS also offers customization options, but it’s not as extensive as NCC Reflection.
2. User Interface: Clover POS has a more user-friendly interface, making it easier for businesses to train employees and get up and running quickly. NCC Reflection is user-friendly as well but the added advanced features, may take a little longer to master.
3. Hardware: Clover POS and NCC Reflection offers a variety of hardware options, including handheld devices and registers. However, Clover systems only work on Clover hardware, while NCC Reflection can be installed to almost any device. Clovers are also locked into one processor so if you want a different credit card processor, you have to get a new clover.
4. Industry Focus: While both POS are well suited for retail and hospitality, NCC Reflection on the other hand can also assist with food service jobs like restaurants and bars, as well as businesses that need a more complicated set-up, like super markets and grocery stores.
5. Subscription Model: NCC Reflection is just a onetime purchase for the license, and an optional monthly fee for RHQ, which are its cloud services. However, no matter which Clover equipment you choose, you will have to sign up for a monthly software plan.
Ultimately, the choice between Clover POS and NCC Reflection will depend on the specific needs and budget of your business. Both systems offer great features, but their focus and customization options differ. Here at OSS Data, we provide and assist you with both systems. You can even get cash discount with Clover when you order through us. Give us a call at 1-800-954-3281.
