Systems for collecting retailer-specific data

1. A point-of-sale (POS) system operable to process a purchase order at a retailer, comprising:

an order input interface configured to receive, at the retailer, the purchase order;

a processor module in communication with the order input interface; and

a printing terminal in communication with the processor module;

wherein the processor module is configured to provide instruction to the printing terminal for printing, at the retailer, a retailer-specific machine readable code on a transaction document associated with the purchase order;

wherein the retailer-specific machine readable code comprises a decodable instruction for a mobile device to interact with the processor module to access an electronic platform using a remote access protocol, the electronic platform configured to provide a retailer-specific questionnaire; and

wherein the processor module is configured to receive response data responsive to the retailer-specific questionnaire and associate the response data with the retailer.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the POS system further comprises a memory module in communication with the processor module, the memory module being configured to store the response data.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor module is configured to generate order data based on the purchase order received at the order input interface, and the memory module is configured to store the order data.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the processor module is configured to associate the order data and the response data.

5. The system of claim 2 , wherein the memory module comprises at least one memory element.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor module comprises at least one processor.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor module comprises a network of processors connected by a local area network (LAN).

8. A system operable to process a purchase order and collect retailer-specific response data, the system comprising:

a point-of-sale (POS) subsystem located at a first retailer, the POS subsystem comprising:

an order input interface configured to receive the purchase order at the first retailer;

a processor module in communication with the order input interface; and

a printing terminal in communication with the processor module, wherein the processor module is configured to provide instruction to the printing terminal for printing, at the first retailer, a retailer-specific machine readable code on a transaction document associated with the purchase order;

a server subsystem comprising a server module;

wherein the retailer-specific machine readable code comprises a decodable instruction for a mobile device to interact with the server module to access an electronic platform using a remote access protocol, the electronic platform configured to provide a retailer-specific questionnaire;

wherein the server module is configured to receive response data responsive to the retailer-specific questionnaire and associate the response data with the retailer.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the decodable instruction comprises a uniform resource locator (URL).

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the server module comprises at least one processor.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is cloud-based.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the server subsystem further comprises a memory module configured to store the response data.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the memory module comprises at least one memory element.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the at least one memory element is cloud-based.

15. The system of claim 8 , wherein the server subsystem is configure to communicate with the POS system over a wide area network (WAN).
