Overview: Creating a loyalty App and customer registration web portal while connecting to the Toys’R’Us servers to update all member purchases.
Specifics: Toys’R’Us were using a local IBM AS400 servers that connected to IBM point of sale (POS) devices which had no cloud connectivity.

Workflow: After collecting their card in-store and registering online, the member earns points by swiping their cards on the IBM POS mag-stripe readers before the sale is complete.
Toys’R’Us head office can view all loyalty member transactions by; date, product, place, price and purchaser.
Product sales information was also used to view gauge and trends for marketing forecasts.
