Methods, systems, apparatuses, and non-transitory computer readable media for validating encoded information

A validation system for validating encoded information, the system comprising:

• at least one scanning device configured to read encoded information;
• at least one point-of-sale (POS) terminal;
• at least one local rules server configured to store a plurality of validation rules;
• and
• at least one formatting device, the device including,
• an input-output (I/O) interface configured to receive the encoded information from the scanning device;
• a memory having stored thereon computer readable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to,
• format the received encoded information into formatted data compatible with the point-of-sale (POS) terminal,
• classify the formatted data into at least one classification layer of a plurality of classification layers in accordance with attributes associated with the received encoded information and a plurality of matching rules stored in the memory,
• determine a destination to transmit the formatted data based on the classification layer, the formatted data including metadata associated with the received encoded information and token information, and
• transmit the formatted data to the determined destination.

A method for validating encoded information, the method comprising:

• receiving, using at least one processor, encoded information from a scanning device;
• formatting, using the at least one processor, the received encoded information into formatted data compatible with a point-of-sale (POS) terminal;
• classifying, using the at least one processor, the formatted data into at least one classification layer of a plurality of classification layers in accordance with attributes associated with the received encoded information and a plurality of matching rules stored in memory of a formatting device;
• determining, using the at least one processor, a destination to transmit the formatted data based on the classification layer, the formatted data including metadata associated with the received encoded information and token information;
• and
• transmitting, using the processor, the formatted data to the determined destination.

A validation device comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon and a database including a plurality of validation rules;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the computer readable instructions to,
• receive formatted data from at least one formatting device,
• extract attributes associated with encoded information from the formatted data, the extracted attributes including at least one of a formatting device identifier, a store identifier, value information from the encoded information, and time information,
• validate the formatted data based on the extracted attributes and the plurality of validation rules,
• store the results of the validation and at least a subset of the extracted attributes in the database,
• generate modified formatted data compatible with a POS terminal based on the results of the validation, and
• transmit the modified formatted data to the at least one of formatting device.
