Question
I use CounterPoint as my point of sale system, and while I love it, I don't want to use NCR Retail Online (NRO). NRO is based on Magento, which I've used in the past. Magento is a nice e-commerce platform, but I'm just getting started out and want something that's easier to use. Can you help me get CounterPoint integrated with other e-commerce systems?
Answer
Yeah we hear that a lot from CounterPoint customers; they want alternatives to NCR Retail Online. I also hear what you're saying about Magento. We've been developing websites for clients in Magento for years but realize it may not be the best solution for all retailers. In fact, we generally will not use Magento if the store isn't already doing about 1/2 million per year online and has at least 1 full time person dedicated to their website.

Here's one last comment about Magento and CounterPoint before I move on. You can always start off with another e-commerce solution and move to Magento when it makes sense for your business. What's nice is that Modern Retail can help you convert your data from your old e-commerce system to Magento. We also give you the choice of using Modern Retail to build the new Magento website for you or any website agency of your choosing.
