e-commerce layer
The e-commerce layer sits above the utility layer and is the user access to the utility via the BEAM API. The API manages the interface to the BEAM Back End which schedules transporter, sped, kiosk and container operations. The API also integrates with a Fintech layer which includes transactions, financing and credit. The BEAM App integrates directly to the API as does the BEAM Website Dev Tool which is a service which allows customers to build their BEAM presence and store. This Dev Took is similar to services like Squarespace, WIX and GoDaddy but unique to BEAM. Vendor Apps can call the BEAM API as a service, so that Vendors with their own web presence can integrate with BEAM seamlessly.
BEAM App
The BEAM App is the interface for all consumers, manufacturers and suppliers using BEAM. It can be used to retrieve or send containers at kiosks. It can store favorite locations a user ships to for quick access to sipping information. It monitors the status and location of your container and reports it to the user on the App.
and it is the e-commerce platform for all vendors that built their presence using the BEAM Website Dev Tool. Vendors who use the API are not displayed on the BEAM App as their integration is managed through their own web presence.
BEAM tracks a customers package in real time as it comes from a sender or goes to a recipient.
