What Nextore does

Nextore is a privately-held French SaaS company headquartered in Saint-Étienne, founded in 2013, that develops a 100% cloud-based point-of-sale (POS) software platform targeted at independent merchants, multi-location retail networks, and sports facilities operating in France. The core product, Nextore Logiciel de caisse, is LNE-certified (Certificate No. 33846) for compliance with France's Loi de Finances 2018, providing real-time sales reporting, financial and inventory management, and multi-payment support including split bills and meal vouchers. The software is designed to run on any operating system and any compatible hardware, lowering switching friction and widening the addressable merchant base.

The platform is extended through integrated modules: a self-service ordering kiosk (Borne de commande) with customizable design and integrated payment; an online reservation system (Réservation en ligne) targeted at sports facilities with real-time multi-device synchronization; a network commerce module (Commerce en réseau) for centralized management of multiple POS locations; loyalty program builder; and click & collect functionality. Nextore also sells a proprietary hardware line — touchscreen terminals (single or dual 15.6-inch FHD configurations), thermal printers, cash drawers, barcode scanners, and payment terminals — to bundle with its software subscriptions.

The business operates a contact-first, quote-based direct sales motion via its French-language website and phone/email, with no publicly disclosed pricing or self-serve purchase flow. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions (recurring, billed annually) plus hardware sales. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investors in the source material, and appears to operate at small scale (11-50 employees) with an exclusive focus on the domestic French market. An operational relationship with bcome.fr (a digital agency co-located at Nextore's Le Polygone address in Saint-Étienne) supports Nextore's web presence and primary contact channel.
