How Electronic Distribution works.

Introduction

 This system provides direct retail vending of prepaid cellular airtime. The customer receives a printed voucher containing the information necessary to make use of the airtime purchased. The software is designed for the system to manage Prepaid PIN and Direct TopUp Credit Transfer (refer to the System Diagram at the end of this page).

The system will consist of a back office server, merchant terminals, and a client web application. The back office server will consist of the authorization and database management software, SQL database, and Ethernet communications. Merchant terminals will run Prepaid PIN transactions, Direct TopUp transactions and reports, and support Ethernet Communications. The client web application will be the access interface to the database for XBC, the carrier, wholesalers, and merchants. The database will hold wholesaler accounts, merchant accounts, Prepaid Pins bank, Direct TopUp Credit Transfer bank, advertising, promotions, and coupons.

Hardware Environment

The hardware for this system consists of a number of vending machines in retail locations connected by a computer wired or else wireless connection with built-in printer. The top up machines incorporate the following primary elements:

  • Embedded processor with the ability to perform Real time sales and sales reporting of pins
  • A keypad to allow the Retailer to make product selections and otherwise control the purchases.
  • A modem for communicating with the host server.
  • A serial port for maintenance functions (software updates and other setup options)

The host server system is comprised of more than one server. It incorporates the following primary elements:

 
  • A mass storage subsystem to house the master database of product, client and accounting information.
  • Removable storage devices (diskette, CDROM) for loading of voucher information from airtime providers.
  • A modem bank for accepting communication from client systems.
  • One or more operator consoles for system control and data entry.

Data flow

The primary element of data (and the product being sold) in this system is to Top Up a customer account. These numbers are purchased from airtime providers. Each PIN number is accompanied by a control number, and optionally by a security code. Each group of PINs is for a specific product. That is, a particular airtime plan from a particular provider at a certain cost per PIN. Depending on the provider, these numbers may arrive in a variety of formats and media. A typical example would be a 3.5” diskette containing a plain text, CSV files the they are emailed to you via secure email.. New PINS are loaded to the database after running the through a filter designed for their specific format they are indexed by: Product ID

This completely identifies the PIN as to provider, plan, and price.
