Glance Technologies Unveils Real-Time Digital Bill Feature

Glance Technologies (CSE:GET.CN) announced that it is conducting live on site tests of its “Real-Time Bill” feature with select merchants.

The company said that the new feature will enable users to view and pay the bills from the Glance Pay app without requiring to wait for a paper bill.

As quoted in the test release:

The app identifies the user’s bill based on Quick Response (QR) codes or Near-field communication (NFC) tags at their table and accesses and settles the appropriate bill in real-time from the merchant’s point of sale system.

Real-Time Digital Bill was one of the reasons that Glance added the previously announced capability to integrate with more than an estimated 500,000 different POS installations in North America, thus opening this new feature to a broad market.

“Everyone has experienced frustration waiting for a bill at a restaurant or pub when they needed to get to a show, a meeting, or an airport,” says Glance CEO Desmond Griffin, “with our new Real-Time Bill technology, a user can choose to access their bill, pay, and go at anytime.”

This features allows merchants to offer a more convenient experience to their customers while increasing productivity, turning tables over more quickly and reducing costs related to processing paper. Further, by eliminating paper, merchants can operate in a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable way that aligns with Glance’s values.

After completing tests with select merchants, Glance plans to make the Real-Time Bill feature available to its merchant base by the end of its next fiscal quarter. Glance believes that innovative features such as Real-Time Bill and the upcoming “Order from Table” will make its platform more attractive to potential merchants and will improve its ability to generate Software as a Service (SaaS) fees from merchants.
