Zing also sells inventory and order management services, which Bigcommerce expects will help retail clients that also operate stores.
E-commerce platform provider Bigcommerce has bought Zing.com, which sells mobile point-of-sale systems for retail stores, along with inventory management technology.
Bigcommerce, which says it serves more than 85,000 retailers around the world—about 30% of them operate stores—anticipates that Zing’s technology will prove useful to clients not only through payments but enabling “real-time inventory sync between online and physical stores, in-store pickup, and dynamic order management as well as integrated customer data and reporting spanning e-commerce and brick-and-mortar operations,” Bigcommerce says.
