NRS Helps MSPs Bring Enterprise-Grade Retail Technology to Small Businesses, Podcast

“Why leave money on the table when you can help the customer at the same time?”

In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Elie Y. Katz, CEO of National Retail Solutions (NRS), discusses how technology is transforming independent convenience stores, restaurants, liquor stores and other small retailers—and why that creates an opportunity for MSPs and channel partners.

NRS provides point-of-sale, payment, inventory, loyalty, e-commerce, delivery and security tools designed specifically for independent retailers.

Katz says the company’s sweet spot is the one- or two-store operator that needs many of the same capabilities as a large chain but does not have a large IT staff.

The NRS platform can help merchants manage inventory, monitor sales, receive customized low-stock alerts and integrate with delivery services including Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub.

That integration can have a direct impact on revenue. Katz points to his own restaurant, where adding delivery services is now generating several additional orders per day.

NRS also helps retailers address shrink and employee theft. Its point-of-sale system can integrate with video surveillance and generate alerts around activity such as canceled transactions, open registers or other unusual behavior.

For MSPs and channel partners, Katz says the opportunity is straightforward: many already have trusted relationships with local businesses that need these capabilities.

Through the NRS partner program, providers can add point-of-sale, payment processing and other retail services to their existing customer relationships without having to become retail technology experts themselves.

NRS is also targeting newer formats such as food trucks and small QSR operations with compact POS systems and kiosk integrations designed to manage in-person and delivery orders through a single platform.
