Development Approach
We originally designed our SaaS solution to meet the automated retail and vending needs of perishable food merchants (including ourselves).
Over the years, it has evolved to address a wide range of self-service use cases.
We started small, but we’ve built a team of 20 developers, product managers, and strategists. And we’ve written millions of lines of code with a few key principles in mind:
Data Protection - We understand the sensitivity of customer data and prioritize its protection. In fact, we have designed our system so we never have access to your customers’ personally identifiable information.
Open Standards - Applestone’s solutions can easily integrate with your existing infrastructure.
Flexibility - We offer compatibility with multiple payment providers and unattended payment devices, allowing you to work with your preferred payment solutions.
