Founded in Dayton, Ohio in 1884 by John H. Patterson, the National Cash Register Company (NCR) revolutionized global retail by commercializing the mechanical cash register to prevent employee theft and streamline transactions. Under Patterson’s leadership, the enterprise pioneered modern corporate sales techniques including exclusive territories, scripted sales pitches, and formal training schools, while developing progressive factory employee benefits. Over the decades, the company evolved beyond mechanical registers into an international technology powerhouse, expanding into electronic point-of-sale systems, automated teller machines (ATMs), and enterprise software before restructuring as NCR Voyix and NCR Atleos in 2023.
