NjordRETAIL

Built by a Canadian shop owner

Your shop.
Your stock.
Your call.

You’ve got rent, staff and a shop to run. Your software should help you get on with it.

Meet Njord. A point of sale, inventory system and online store being built around the everyday work of independent retail.

Take a look inside Njord? Say “nyord.”

A closer look

Built around the work
you actually do.

Explore a few parts of Njord. These examples use a fictional shop and test data; they aren’t live checkouts.

The less glamorous part of retail

Somebody still has
to count the stock.

01

Work the till.

Cash, split payments, discounts, returns and a customer-facing screen. Terminal connections are being tested provider by provider.

02

Receive the delivery.

Match invoice items to your catalog, receive stock manually and keep a record of adjustments and transfers.

03

Keep the books clear.

Find the order, trace the return and export reports for your accountant. Imported history has a place alongside new sales.

Njord · pronounced “nyord”

A little mythology.
A very practical problem.

Njord is the Norse god associated with the sea and wealth. We thought he might understand a shopkeeper’s priorities.

This project started inside an independent Canadian store. We needed our stock, sales, customers and website to work together—and wanted more control over the tools our business depended on.

So we started building Njord. We’re testing it in our own shop before asking other retailers to rely on it.

Gotta cover the nut.Rent. Payroll. Hydro.

Fair questions

Before you ask.

Can we keep the loyalty points our customers already earned?

That’s part of the migration work. Njord can preview and match imported Smile balances for review before committing them. A switch should start with a reconciliation of your actual customer balances.

Will my printer or card terminal work?

It depends on the exact device and provider. Njord has separate hardware setup and compatibility-review flows. Network receipt printing is in store testing; each automatic payment integration needs its own verification. Standalone payments can still be recorded manually.

What does it cost?

We’re working toward straightforward subscription pricing. Plans and commercial availability will be published after store testing; there’s no paid subscription to start on this page.

Can I try it today?

We’re currently testing in our own store and arranging early conversations with interested retailers. Ask for a walkthrough and tell us about your shop, current system and hardware.
