See what's selling the moment it sells.
Nightcap Edge is a small device that sits quietly between your barcode scanner and your POS. Every item your cashier scans, we see, match, and enrich from our catalog of 1M+ products — so you get real-time sell-through on whatever POS you already run. No new software. No retraining. Most cashiers never know it's there.
Not sold on its own — Edge comes with the Nightcap products you already use.
Meet the box
Small enough to forget. Smart enough to run your data.
It fits in your palm and disappears into your existing hardware. One cable in from your scanner, one cable out to your POS — that's the whole footprint. It connects to your Wi-Fi and quietly does the heavy lifting in the background.
Plug it in once. Then forget it's there.
Edge is an integration through hardware, not software — so there's nothing for your POS to approve and nothing for your team to learn.
Plug it in
Edge sits between your barcode scanner and your POS as a simple pass-through. Connect it to Wi-Fi and you're done — most stores self-install in minutes.
Your team scans like always
Nothing changes at the counter. No new screens, no logins, no retraining. Your cashiers ring up customers exactly the way they do today.
We match and enrich every scan
As each barcode passes through, we match it to our master catalog of 1M+ products and fill in the name, size, category, and typical price automatically.
You get real-time sell-through
Now you know exactly what's selling, and when — clean, item-level data that powers every Nightcap product you use.
Why we built it
Retail runs on a thousand different POS systems. Edge works with all of them.
Independent stores run every POS under the sun, and building a fragile software integration into each one is slow and brittle — even the biggest delivery apps struggle with it. So we skipped the software fight entirely. Edge captures the data through the scanner, which means it deploys anywhere in minutes and works no matter what's behind the counter.
- Your sell-through is locked inside whatever POS you happen to run
- Delivery catalogs drift; out-of-stock items keep selling online
- Every POS needs its own fragile, one-off integration
- You're guessing at what's actually moving off the shelf
- Real-time sell-through from any POS — no integration required
- Catalog and in-stock / out-of-stock stay accurate on every app
- One box, deployed in minutes, working the same way everywhere
- You know exactly what's selling, the moment it sells
Across the 1,200+ stores on Nightcap Delivery, the single biggest headache — for owners and for delivery partners like DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Instacart alike — is keeping the catalog and in-stock data accurate. Edge fixes that automatically, and builds the sell-through picture that makes everything else smarter.
You don't buy Edge. It quietly makes everything else better.
Edge ships with your Nightcap products and feeds each one the same real-time sell-through data Nightcap POS would — so they all work at full strength, even when you're running a different POS.
Nightcap Delivery
Keeps your catalog and in-stock / out-of-stock accurate across DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub, and Instacart — automatically. Fewer refunds, fewer cancels, fewer angry customers.

The killer combo
Edge + Free TVs: screens that actually sell.
Our technology partner Taiv brings the screens. Nightcap Edge brings the data. Together, your in-store TVs stop being wallpaper and start being a sales engine — promoting what's moving, suggesting smart combos at the right time, and proving the lift to the brands that help fund it all.
Promote what's moving
Edge sees real-time sell-through, so your screens feature the products customers are actually buying right now — not a static loop.
Smart combos & timing
When energy drinks are flying off the cooler, the screens push the pairing — chips, a snack, a coffee — at exactly the right moment to lift basket size.
Real, measurable lift
Because Edge tracks throughput, you can finally see what an on-screen promotion did to sales — true attribution, in-store and online.
Free screens, brand revenue, and ads that drive real sales.
It's the full picture: a media surface on your wall at no cost, plus the data that makes it measurably grow your store.

Edge is designed to disappear into your store and just work.
No new habits
Your cashiers scan exactly like they do today. No extra screens, no logins, no training. Most never realize the box is there.
No new bill
Edge is included with your Nightcap products. It's never a separate charge and it's never sold on its own.
Your data, working for you
Edge reads the products being scanned — what's selling — and puts that to work on your catalog, your delivery apps, and your promotions.
