Point-of-sale system provider National Retail Solutions (NRS) has partnered with DoorDash to help small independent retailers offer seamless online ordering and delivery services, the Newark, New Jersey-based company announced Monday.
The partnership with delivery service provider DoorDash, San Francisco, helps give businesses tools to manage online ordering capabilities in a centralized, automated order management platform right from their POS or NRS merchant portal, said Elie Y. Katz, CEO and president of NRS.
“Automating access to DoorDash’s marketplace ensures merchants are able to present all of their available products with near-real-time inventory to customers on DoorDash,” Katz said. “All orders are aggregated into the order management platform for seamless preparation and fulfillment, meaning store owners and their employees can maximize their operational efficiency while continuing to serve their in-store customers.”
The initial launch is focused exclusively on liquor retailers, but the goal is to bring the services to a broader range of retailers like convenience and grocery stores, NRS said. The partnership brings a new level of store management to mom-and-pop retailers, it said.
“Our partnership with DoorDash has been incredibly beneficial,” said Ari B. Korman, senior vice president of ecommerce at NRS. “Together, we're simplifying the operational challenges faced by small, independent merchants in today's dynamic digital environment. By collaborating, we can reduce friction and costs within a vital sales channel that many merchants rely on for business growth.”
NRS provides a family of products and services to retailers including the NRS POS system, which offers sales, inventory and user tracking, remote store management via app and merchant web portal, a customer loyalty program and more. Its POS hardware includes a merchant-friendly touchscreen and customer-facing display, barcode scanner, thermal printer and metal cash drawer, the company said.
