Bindo offers small brick-and-mortar businesses a payment and inventory management system that seamlessly integrates with a web destination for online shoppers. As a result, small retail businesses can run their online and offline businesses from a single management hub. Bindo also intends to launch its Bindo Marketplace app later this year, which will connect consumers with nearby businesses that use Bindo to sell and manage their products.
