Benefits of technology

This patent describes a system for managing requests from customers using their mobile devices. The system connects with the customer's phone, gets information about their location, and provides them with information about the goods and services offered by nearby businesses. The customer can then request a specific service from a particular business, and the system assigns the request to a group of people to fulfill it. The technical effects of this system include increased efficiency in handling customer requests and better customer experience.

Problems solved by technology

However, making goods, services, and recommendations known to customers has proved challenging.
Moreover, offers may change frequently.
As a result, customers are not able to interact with current information about offers or make requests to those who are in a position to fulfill them.
Staff also face difficulty identifying and fulfilling customer requests.
