Abstract
A system and methods for small business service aggregation and abstraction of economies of scale, comprising a specialized software application operating on a server and communicating with customer devices, business-side devices, delivery service infrastructure, financial system infrastructure, and point-of-sale software, to provide for unified logistical and financial support for small businesses that do not have access to economy-of-scale effects on their logistical and administrative tasks.
Claims2
A system for small business service aggregation and abstraction of economies of scale, comprising:
- an integration engine comprising a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory of, and operating on a processor of, a computing device, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:
- communicate with a plurality of business resources over a network, the plurality of business resources comprising at least one of an inventory management system, a scheduling system, a payment system, a point-of-sale system;
- operate an integration application comprising a user interface;
- register a user account based on input received via the user interface;
- associate at least a portion of the plurality of business resources with the user account;
- receive business resource information via the user interface, the business resource information comprising input information corresponding to each business resource associated with the user account;
- and
- a scheduling server comprising a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory of, and operating on a processor of, a computing device, wherein the programming instructions, when operating on the processor, cause the processor to:
- retrieve stored scheduling information from a database, the stored scheduling information being associated with the user account;
- direct an inventory management system, if one is associated with the user account, to restock inventory according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated inventory management system;
- direct a payment system, if one is associated with the user account, to disburse payroll according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated payment system;
- direct a delivery system, if one is associated with the user account, to process deliveries according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated delivery system;
- and
- direct a payment system, if one is associated with the user account, to process bill payments according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated payment system.

A method for small business service aggregation and abstraction of economies of scale, comprising the steps of:
- registering, via a user interface provided by an integration application operating on an integration engine, a user account;
- associating a plurality of business resources with the user account, the plurality of business resources comprising at least one of an inventory management system, a scheduling system, a payment system, a point-of-sale system;
- receiving business resource information via the user interface, the business resource information comprising input information corresponding to each business resource associated with the user account;
- retrieving, using a scheduling server, stored scheduling information from a database, the stored scheduling information being associated with the user account;
- directing an inventory management system, if one is associated with the user account, to restock inventory according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated inventory management system;
- directing a payment system, if one is associated with the user account, to disburse payroll according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated payment system;
- directing a delivery system, if one is associated with the user account, to process deliveries according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated delivery system;
- and
- directing a payment system, if one is associated with the user account, to process bill payments according to at least a portion of the stored scheduling information and at least a portion of the received business resource information, the portion of the received business resource information corresponding to the associated payment system.
