| Zash | Zash is in the business of digitizing the Hospitality industry. It’s a platform, which allows merchants and customers to seamlessly interact and transact, both offline and online (aka Omnichannel). The platform has been built on the basis of two major growing industry trends:1. The shift from legacy Point of Sales (POS) systems to cloud basedTablet solutions2. The demand for various PreOrdering services by consumers, such as delivery, PreOrder, Reservations and @Table. Within minutes a merchant can get started using Zash, setting up a free online account through the Zash website, downloading a free iPad Zash POS app (for Merchants) which allows them to operate their business end to end. In addition the merchants have access to the Zash Order app (service for Customers), further enhancing the value proposition. The Zash POS can function irrespectively if a customer has the Zash Order app or not. The POS industry is well established and the majority of merchants have some form of POS system enabled today. However most current POS systems are built on legacy IT systems, not being cloud based and requires high hardware investments, legacy POS systems also does not integrate with customer services. It is this specific interconnected service that sets Zash part from the rest of the competition in its current form. With Zash merchants have everything they need, under one umbrella, to a much lower cost than the current fragmented offering in the market. The solution has been developed with the modern merchant and customer in mind, which not only desire convenience in technological solution, but also expect it! |  | Seed | Mar 28, 2017 |  |
