The sole purpose of this project is to develop a light-weight digital receipt
system that can counter the short-comings of the conventional digital receipt
system and meet the market expectations desirably. The proposed system
mainly focuses on achieving simpler receipt data extraction, leverage the use
of server to a third party and eliminate as much cost as possible. The
approach proposed is mainly used to counter problems and complications
which are found in existing digital system nowadays. The author believes
that retrieving receipt data must not necessary be done at the server, but
could also be done at the POS system, particularly at the printer point.
Besides, the author's proposed digital receipt will not require any
reconfiguration processes to be done at retailer's POS system, which
retailers will not need to worry for their POS system being modified just to
integrate with digital receipt applications. The author will strive to produce a
digital receipt system that is very cost-effective as compared to the
conventional digital receipt system so that both retailer and customer can
afford to use such as technology
