Empower small, midsize retailers with enterprise-grade POS
Elie Y. Katz, an experienced business leader and former mayor of Teaneck, N.J., founded National Retail Solutions in 2015. Under his leadership, NRS became a prominent POS solutions provider, known for its innovative line of POS and payment processing solutions especially designed for small and midsize retailers. The company is a subsidiary of IDT Corp. Katz stated that National Retail Solutions has helped democratize the retail landscape by providing small and midsize businesses with enterprise-scale retail technology with advanced tools such as real-time sales data analytics, loyalty programs and inventory management.

Diversified product portfolio
In addition to ecommerce and loyalty programs, NRS offers NRS Petro, a secure POS system for gas stations with EMV-compliant pay-at-pump. The company also provides flexible tablet POS systems that support versatile, on-the-go transactions for tobacco and smoke shops, and self-ordering kiosks designed to reduce wait times and streamline ordering.

Another benefit of NRS-tailored solutions is their potential to drive merchant retention by addressing small independent retailers' unique needs and challenges, the company stated, emphasizing that the platform can grow and adapt to merchants' growth and success.
With continued investment in research and development as a top priority, NRS is committed to empowering independent retailers and is poised to remain at the forefront of retail technology, Katz stated, adding that his growing team of 500 employees continues to find new ways to support and impact retailers and their communities.
