A catalogue system automatically detects changes to configuration file at a service application. Based on the changes to the configuration file(s), the catalogue system stores mapping data that identifies a resource item type that can be processed by the service application and one or more user actions that are available for processing resource items of the resource item type. The techniques thus provide for dynamic interaction with service applications.

Various embodiments each include at least one of systems, methods, devices, and software for operating mobile devices as beacon devices. One embodiment in the form of a method includes retrieving data, from a backend system by a mobile device app that executes on a first mobile device, of an open bill associated in the backend system with a first customer account. This method further includes receiving a radio signal via a transceiver of the mobile device. The radio signal in such embodiments includes an identifier encoded therein. The method also includes transmitting the identifier encoded in the received radio signal to the backend system to associate a second customer account with the open bill in the backend system, the second customer account associated with the identifier.
