Maxatec Appointed Authorised Distributor for NCR POS touchscreens, EPOS terminals and EPOS hardware

Maxatec announces that it has been appointed by NCR as a distributor of its electronic point-of-sale (EPOS) equipment under the NCR RealPartner Programme

Maxatec will be distributing a range of NCR products through value added resellers. These include the new NCR RealPOS ™ 20 and 30 EPOS terminals that provide proven NCR technology value priced for smaller retailers. "NCR's new terminals allow us to bring a brand that has been highly successful with the major supermarkets and high street chains to small and medium sized retailers," said Steve Berry, Sales Director for Maxatec. "There is a real need for good technology at this level that is upgradeable, completely supported and sourced from a well-known supplier. Smaller retailers are often forced by cost into buying systems that need replacing every few years, but with NCR's move into this market we can now offer an industry standard, future-proof solution these retailers can afford".

Maxatec has a great deal of experience supplying to value added resellers specialising in the retail market. Maxatec focuses on supplying printers, peripherals and services, including highly customised products and training programmes. The new relationship with NCR allows Maxatec to expand its product offering to include high uality EPOS touchscreens, modular EPOS terminals, scanners and printers.
Maxatec works with accredited resellers who now have the opportunity to become NCR resellers and enter the NCR RealPartner programme. This provides extensive marketing support and product education including use of the on-line NCR University.

Under terms of the agreement with Maxatec, the NCR RealPOS terminals will be backed by NCR's comprehensive service and support. As a leading supplier of ATMs and EPOS systems in the UK, NCR offers a cost effective depot service and has hundreds of service engineers on the road at any one time who can reach any urban centre within an hour. "Maxatec is a highly professional distributor with a large base of educated, retail-savvy resellers," said Bill Thompson, Channel and Partner Manager for NCR. "This agreement will allow us to extend NCR's products into the market place and together offer a high quality, value proposition to smaller retailers looking to move to the next generation of EPOS systems."

In addition to the RealPOS 20 and 30 terminals, Maxatec will be distributing a range of NCR products including the RealPOS 70 POS terminal, the NCR RealScan range of bar-code scanners and NCR receipt printers and cash drawers.
