CimpleBox to help NCR meet the needs of small and medium-sized businesses
DULUTH, Ga., 2016-Mar-08 — /EPR Retail News/ — NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR), the global leader in consumer transaction technologies, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of CimpleBox, Inc., a provider of simplified SaaS-based back-office software to restaurant operators and retailers. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
NCR is committed to helping restaurant operators and retailers with lower operational complexity leverage cloud and mobile technologies to take their businesses to the next level. Already integrated with the NCR Silver™ mobile point-of-sale solution portfolio, the CimpleBox software suite helps businesses reduce the amount of time spent on manual processes, consolidates data and scheduling across multiple sites and gives management visibility into the business and day-to-day operations.
“Our goal is to bring technology innovation and simplicity to small businesses to help them grow and be successful,” said Paul Langenbahn, President of NCR’s Hospitality Division. “This acquisition supports NCR’s strategy to provide businesses with all shapes and sizes with the solutions they need to modernize their operations.”
“The integrated NCR Silver™ and CimpleBox solution has delivered our franchise system a powerful platform to conduct everything from enhanced sales reporting to inventory management,” said Dave Guido, senior vice president of operations, at Bruster’s, a chain of ice cream parlors. “As a franchisor, we need to offer a higher level of functionality than some small business solutions deliver – and the combination of the two solutions more than meets our needs.”
John Eucalitto, president of Wayback Burgers, noted that the integrated solution is ideal for franchise restaurants, like his. “We prefer to spend our time engaging customers and not managing complex technology,” Eucalitto said. “By further expanding its offering through CimpleBox, NCR provides us with the technology we need to improve our customers’ in-store experience and help our managers and employees streamline routine back-office tasks in a user-friendly manner.”
