See how Hike compares to NCR Counterpoint across the things that matter most.
Beautifully visualized sale screen
Not only does your POS system have to be robust in its functionality, but it also needs to be intuitive and modern for accessible use between you and your staff. Hike delivers such a solution in spades with a crystal-clear user interface that makes it a joy to use. From your product images to your reporting graphs and charts, Hike has re-defined what it means to be a POS system.
iPad native
Available on all devices, it's important to note that not only is Hike just compatible on an iPad, but it was built natively for the hardware. That means, when users launch Hike on their iPad, they're not just getting a simple port but rather a system that was built with only the iPad in mind. Performing retail operations on the device is a breeze, and gives your customers a faster retail experience.
An economical POS solution
Affordability is a big factor when considering a POS system, and Hike provides retailers with an entry-level starting point that's economical for small to medium sized businesses. This contrasts to NCR Counterpoint, that charges customers an exuberant licencing fee, plus additional costs based on software maintenance and add-ons like credit-card payments.
