The uniquely designed soft and hardware platform consists of 4 main elements, hardware, powerful database, client portal, end user portal and all built for any client to easily integrate and adopt to the Flote platform or any of its products.

The Flote software and hardware gateway platform has been built with payments at its heart so inbuilt security at every level and is capable of running any sized company, SME to multinational.

The modular design allow it to adopt any industries protocols in a matter of just days for software and only weeks for the hardware. This is possible as our unique design where any input is packaged up and handled by our own internal secure messaging and all the handshakes required to satisfy any security requirements..

Our hardware can add any protocol with just a small changed to any physical connector, with the software protocol being added at the same time and because of our design is a minor addition.

Our software platform consists of a powerful database, designed by our architect who mainly developed these for the financial world in London, he said this was the first time he was able to design a database correctly, which bring huge advantages when adding any additions customer requirements and significantly reducing time to do so.

The company/merchant portal has everything needed to run any sized company, SME to multinational, from managing staff to running products. Together with our generic platform, we can easily add any further requirements our customers may need, thus reducing time and money in the process.

The end users portal is fully customisable to suit any requirement, from taking payments for a service or product, without an app or a full blown app and because of the design, most runs on our generic templates and can easily customised to suit the customers needs.

Unattended payment solutions

Our payments solutions will significantly reduce the up front and running costs of any payment requirements you have and can be adapted to almost anything.

Our approach is to make this the easiest and cheapest solution to set up and run, with the most hassle free end user experience.

The end user experience is slick and easy, not requiring any apps, however, they are free to take advantage of the flote app, offering many advantages.

Usually a QR code or NFC tag/device provides the user with the payment page for a product or service, on their phone and can pay with just 2 taps. This is now a standard way to pay.

The product or service can be virtual or from a 3rd party host, which would be connected to the Flote cloud via our dedicated hardware, allowing the end user to receive their purchase.
