MICROS Commerce Platform (MCP) – A multi-channel solution that provides multi-language, multi-currency global digital trading capability. The industry-best site management tools ensure that non-technical business users can easily keep the product catalogue current, efficiently capitalize on merchandising opportunities, create personalized experiences for customers, and manage orders. The user-friendly, drag and drop interface also supports sophisticated targeting and promotions functionality.

-    miStore mobile Point of Sale – An intuitive, easy-to-use software for your mobile Point of Sale, providing ideal POS functionality in the palm of your hand.  It keeps routine functions (timeclock, gift card balance inquiry, stock lookup) off the existing registers and enables sales associates to come out from behind the registers. These can then interact with customers early on in their shopping experience, in order to have a greater influence on the respective outcome.

From mobile booking applications to search engine marketing, MICROS provides specialist expertise to help customers become truly multi-channel.
