New player enters the micro market industry – deORO Markets

November 4, 2016

Micro markets, which provide food and refreshments to worksites, hotels and other heavily-trafficked locations, continue to expand. The most recent entrée is Odessa, Texas-based deORO Markets, offering flexible payment options for customers.

A micro market is a self-contained store in a location without an employee to monitor it. It includes freestanding storage, such as shelves that hold product, and a self-checkout kiosk. The customer scans their package at the checkout kiosk.

The company's system includes back-end software for monitoring customer activity and managing accounts. It also provides reports for managing inventory.

The system provides proximity-based sensing for smartphone users, time stamps of all transactions, and motion-based camera recording to ensure safety.

All data is stored locally and backed up by servers regularly, allowing the software to run without a constant Internet connection.
