Benefits of technology

This patent is a point-of-sale system that allows merchants to use mobile and web-based apps to interface with electronic commerce systems. It is designed to be a multi-tenant system, meaning that separate merchants can use the same platform. This increases security measures as the store does not need to store credit card information. Overall, this system improves the efficiency and security of the POS experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, existing e-commerce and web-based store fronts have not adequately resolve the problem of physical retail businesses.
Even when some of the movement of data is optimized, the different commercial management services lack integration in a singular scalable platform.
Solutions to these problems have been long sought but prior developments have not taught or suggested any solutions.
Accordingly, viable solutions to these problems have eluded those skilled in the art.
