Team BluePay spent most of this week presenting our product design and architecture so far to both our peers and our liaisons at American Express. We received a lot of feedback, which we will be implementing over the next few days. The team also started working on our concept design to be presented to our peers and liaisons next week.

We’ve learned from our presentations that we need to emphasize the customer’s experience in our design. Our original architecture focused mainly on the technology between the BLE beacons and the POS system, so we will be adding more focus on the user. The feedback from our liaison was to change part of the transaction portion of our architecture. He advised our team to understand a normal card and POS interaction, and to simulate this with our app. We will post an update once it is finalized!
