ABOUT
Overview
The B-gate is an intelligent mPOS hub solution which integrates, a thermal printer with a bundle of software, In this solution, a tablet PC and the B-gate are connected via either wired or wireless however, the B-gate and the other POS peripherals are wired. The B-gate also provides an innovative technology which helps to build the latest mobile POS solutions such as, integrating cloud, web and mobile apps.
The B-gate can support, the Cloud, Web and the Native applications at the same time.
The B-gate helps to build the new POS system environment, which is similar to the previous one, with much reduced space and less initial investment cost as well.
