Abstract:
Techniques for temporarily providing access to a functionality associated with a service to one or more personal devices corresponding to one or more users is described. In an example, an entity device may provision temporary access to a functionality associated with a service that benefits the entity to a personal device operated by a user. The personal device may utilize the functionality to perform a task, such as inventory data collection. The entity device may determine an occurrence of an event, and based at least in part on the occurrence of the event, may terminate the provisioning of the temporary access to the functionality. The entity device may receive data, such as inventory data, from the personal device and may send the data to a payment processing system.
