Silicon Valley-based Leapset launches disruptive innovation in SL
View(s):Silicon Valley software developer ‘Leapset’ recently announced plans to expand its development centre in Sri Lanka.
Leapset’s product is a platform that is changing local commerce by bridging the gap between online and mobile consumers to offline merchants. It will revolutionize the merchant-consumer interaction through a platform which includes a point-of-sale (POS) device and utilizes payments, CRM, web and mobile components, company officials told reporters.
Mani Kulasooriya, CEO of Leapset, said, “Disruptive innovation does not merely improve but creates and replaces entirely new business models. If you (for example) wanted to order from a restaurant all you have to do is take out your phone and Leapset will display a list of restaurants located in your area; it will allow you to navigate through the menus, select the items you wish and the delivery will be made to your doorstep. The restaurant receives the customer’s order and customer details on their POS device and the payment is processed automatically. This is just a simple example of the different solutions that run on the Leapset platform”.
He said it sounds simple and the best innovations always simplify people’s lives, but noted; “think about the innovation that has gone into placing an order from a restaurant. The process of selecting a restaurant and accessing a menu, placing an order, paying for it and getting it delivered to your doorstep has been simplified down to a push of a few buttons on a mobile phone and a POS device”.
