Added customer service value
What does the retail customer stand to gain?

• Multiple customer facilities can be offered at the point of sale, providing an appropriate response to growing customer needs.
• Quicker transaction processing time (eg of credit card transactions) offers an attractive advantage to customers.
• Cashiers never have to leave the till, separate credit card slips become a historical relic, and one transaction does it all; speeding up the process for customers, and allaying fears around the real risk of fraud.

Easy to use
Mastery in a moment, cashier friendly, human benefits

• Since cashiers are already trained in your existing till hardware (which is all Nomad uses), and the only view they have of Nomad is the operating transparancy they require, training is more than manageable. In fact, in many ways it makes the life of a cashier far easier:
• EFT transactions are completed faster and with far less fuss.
• The provision of extra services creates greater job variety and human interaction, as well as many value adding opportunities.
• Enhanced customer satisfaction and operating ease leaves cashiers free to concentrate on improved customer relationships.
• Nomad's integration of bank, retailer and customer through software (rather than credit card swipe machines) means that cashiers never need to leave the till, only complete one operation per customer, and the extra hassle of credit card machine thermal rolls (changing them, storing them, managing till roll problems) become a thing of the past - all of which has the added benefit of increasing capacity through saving time, every step of the way.

Fraud reduction
Closing the net through optimal use of technology

Nomad completes transaction processing at the point of sale on one transaction value only, rendering obsolete the need for dual entry transactions. Nomad's own inner security measures complete the process of 'closing the gaps' that currently exist for fraud.

Simplified reconciliation
Reconcile directly to bank reports

The marriage of transaction settlement to the till simplifies reconciliation, since the POS system's transaction reports can be reconciled directly with incoming bank reports.

Smooth integration
A managed retailer-banker-POS developer relationships hub

Nomad provides a credible interface between retailer, banking and point of sale for electronic funds transfer and related processes. This acts as a secure gateway between retailers, banks and POS developers, and provides a managed retailer-banker-POS developer relationships hub. Nomad pragmatically acknowledges the needs of all stakeholders in POS integration software.

It wraps itself around most environments (including both hardware and software across the retailer size and industry spectrum) with very little need for change. As a software product, Nomad provides a 'middleware' layer between front and back end systems, resolving the complexities of each by presenting a consistent interface.

While current systems comprise numerous specialised hardware and software solutions, Nomad is built around providing interoperability and integration, augmenting any oversights and weaknesses in the process. Installed in a matter of days, the 'time to market' margin is squeezed considerably.

Software development costs are limited, as the point of sale application will no longer require interface and technology changes once it has embraced Nomad's application programmatic interface (API). Further, Nomad's API is backward compatible with earlier versions of Nomad APIs.

Runs on existing hardware
No additional hardware layout...

Nomad uses your existing hardware infrastructure, and does not require a separate local area network, specialised servers or card reader technology.

Allows a choice of banks
Increased bank interface choices

Nomad does not enforce the use of a common bank or 3rd party interface (unlike some products). Rather than technology forcing the choice, Nomad technology enables banking choices to be made.

Comptetitive pricing
Helping manage point of sale costs

We know that effective management of point of sale costs is vital to your business; from networks to card readers and printers, the costs are high, and the key to cost management lies in intelligent choices.

Nomad uses your existing hardware infrastructure, and does not require a separate device, separate local area network, specialised server or card reader technology.

Nomad's application programmatic interface (API) limits software development costs through eliminating the need for future interface and technology changes.

Wide sweep of additional business opportunities
Opening the door to tomorrow today

As the business of retailing expands to include new services, advances and sophistications, Nomad provides the opportunity to capitalise on emerging business opportunities. From in-store banking to loyalty schemes and 3rd party payments, the scope to generate new income has never been greater.
