Beacon is the suite's mailer and contact base. Contacts carry company, province, industry and labels; campaigns are assembled in a block editor and previewed exactly as they will send; sends are scheduled and tracked; replies come back to the contact record; and unsubscribes are handled automatically. Staff signatures with rotating banners are designed here too.
Industry and province on every contact turn a mailing list into a market picture.
A dedicated, reputable sending path with unsubscribe handling built in.
Signatures and campaign templates enforce one look across the company.
Every NBS application signs in through Orbit: one account, hashed credentials, roles per person and per organisation, and a shared session across the suite. Data is hosted in ISO 27001-certified data centres over encrypted connections, backed up, and covered by the POPIA operator addendum in our subscription agreement. Specific to Beacon:
Beacon is hosted by NBS and delivered as a subscription. Updates, backups, monitoring and support are part of the service, and it works from any modern browser or the NBS app where one is provided.
Beacon is browser-only and needs no hardware. See the NBS hardware range for the rest of the suite.
Beacon is sold as a hosted subscription. Hosting, backups, updates and support are part of every plan, hardware can be added on rental with replacement cover, and adding another NBS application later only needs an updated schedule rather than a new agreement.
Plans are matched to the size of your operation, so we put the numbers together after a short scoping call. Contact us for more information.
