My R-Pocket (Digital Receipt Mobile Application)

The development of My R-Pocket is one of the initiatives for retails industry. An
important aspect of shopping is the receipt that is given to customers. The customer
may find the paper receipt less than ideal for a number of reasons: it can be easily lost,
damaged or destroyed. This could be a problem when the customer wishes to use the
paper receipt to organize his personal finances or to exchange the item of purchase. If
the receipt is damaged to a point where it’s longer valid, the customer may not be able
to properly document or manage his accounting. Therefore, an improved system that
keeps digital receipts of commercial transactions would be beneficial. The main goal
of this project is to develop and implement a system of digital receipts for local
transactions in commercial spaces, thus suppressing the need for paper receipts and
reducing costs for business entities. This system will likely include the establishment
of a connection between the mobile device of the customer and the fixed terminal in
the store, and the transmission and storage of the receipt. Finally, this mobile
application is uses the internet connectivity in order to regulate the works without
manpower.
