Logical tenant isolation across enterprise, merchant, store, and terminal hierarchies
Centralized oversight with delegated control at each organizational level
Supports service-provider, reseller, and direct-merchant operating models
Eliminates the need for separate systems as networks expand

Enterprise Scale & Performance

Designed from the ground up to handle large and growing terminal fleets without operational degradation.

Supports thousands of businesses and tens of thousands of deployed terminals
Optimized for high read/write activity from monitoring and automation workflows
Scales horizontally with demand without structural changes
Suitable for regional, national, and multi-country deployments

Role-Based Access & Operational Security

Granular access controls ensure the right teams have the right visibility—without exposing unnecessary data.

Role-based permissions for administrators, support agents, and merchants
Scoped access aligned with enterprise → merchant → store hierarchies
Separation of operational, administrative, and reporting functions

Production Proven & Operationally Mature

This is not a prototype or experimental system.

Already deployed and in active production use
Designed to function as a daily system of record
Built to support real-world support workflows and operational SLAs
Reduces delivery and operational risk versus custom-built solutions

Designed for Day-to-Day Operations

Unlike reporting-only or configuration-heavy tools, the platform is intended to be used continuously across operational roles. Management teams monitor fleet health and trends, support teams investigate and resolve issues, and merchants access relevant information without requiring support intervention—while automation and reporting reduce manual oversight.

Platform APIs & Automation

Seamless integration with service provider systems—operate at scale without expanding support or operations teams.

The platform includes out-of-the-box APIs to programmatically manage merchants, locations, and terminals, enabling automated provisioning, lifecycle control, and operational reporting across large terminal fleets.

What the APIs Enable

Automate core operational workflows that are typically manual or error-prone at network scale.

Create and manage enterprises, merchants, stores, and locations programmatically
Add, remove, reassign, and retire terminals as part of lifecycle operations
Synchronize device inventory states (in stock, in transit, deployed, retired)
Trigger operational actions from external systems without human intervention

Integration Targets

Integrate terminal onboarding and inventory reservation with external systems, while operational fulfillment is handled through MTPOS.

External portals and ordering systems (reserve equipment for shipment to a specific store or location)
Merchant onboarding workflows (programmatically create stores, gateways, terminals, and users)
Operational inventory fulfillment in MTPOS (receiving, shipping, transfers, cycle counts, adjustments)
Outbound updates to external systems (inventory movements and status changes via API or scheduled batch exports)

Security & Governance

APIs are designed for enterprise governance with role-aware access and operational auditability.

Authenticated API access with scoped permissions aligned to tenant roles
Supports separation of duties across admin, support, and merchant operations
Designed to support auditability for security and compliance requirements
Reduces operational risk by standardizing provisioning and lifecycle changes

Automation & Scheduled Workflows

Built-in automation supports proactive monitoring, compliance, and operational oversight.

Schedule operational reports for recurring monitoring and compliance needs
Weekly report: all offline terminals across the network
Monthly report: terminals inactive for 30+ days for security tracking
Support rapid exception handling without manual data pulls

Example Operational Automations

Common service provider workflows include automated store creation, bulk terminal assignment during deployments, scheduled exception reporting, and integration with logistics systems to reconcile inventory movements from warehouse to merchant locations. These automations reduce human error, accelerate onboarding, and improve lifecycle traceability at scale.

End-to-End Terminal Inventory Management

Complete lifecycle control of payment terminals using serialized inventory tracking—across procurement, storage, deployment, and retirement.

Unlike traditional inventory systems that track quantities, the platform treats each terminal as a uniquely identified asset. Every terminal is tracked by serial number across all inventory operations, providing full traceability, accountability, and operational control.

Serialized Terminal Lifecycle Control

Each terminal is managed as an individual asset from the moment it enters inventory.

Unique serial number tracking across all inventory operations
Full movement history from procurement to deployment and retirement
Clear ownership and assignment at every stage of the lifecycle
Eliminates blind spots common in quantity-based inventory systems

Reservation, Fulfillment & Deployment

Support modern deployment workflows without manual coordination.

Reserve specific terminals via API for external ordering workflows
Fulfill reservations through MTPOS warehouse and logistics operations
Deploy terminals to specific merchants and store locations
Maintain traceability between reservation, shipment, and activation

Transfers, Audits & Inventory Accuracy

Maintain accurate terminal records across distributed environments.

Serialized transfers between warehouses, stores, and merchants
Cycle count and inventory audits using web and mobile tools
Rapid identification of missing, duplicated, or misallocated terminals
Reduces loss, shrinkage, and operational reconciliation effort

Warranty, Service & Recall Management

Extend serialized tracking beyond deployment into ongoing operations.

Associate terminals with warranty periods and service history
Track maintenance, replacements, and returns by serial number
Rapid identification of affected devices during recalls or incidents
Improves compliance, support efficiency, and risk mitigation

Operational Impact

By tracking terminals as serialized assets rather than anonymous inventory units, the platform provides unmatched visibility and control. Service providers gain confidence in terminal location, status, and ownership, while reducing loss, improving compliance, and supporting scalable deployment without manual reconciliation.

Operational Visibility & Terminal Status Awareness

Centralized visibility into terminal status and operational state, based on terminal-reported data and operator-managed updates.

The platform provides a consolidated view of terminal status across enterprises, merchants, and stores. Visibility reflects the most recent information reported by terminals that integrate with the platform, combined with real-time operational updates performed by support and operations teams.
