Abstract
A computer system for distributing one or more functions in response to a notification includes a first server connected to a point of sale device and a second server separate from and connected to the first server. Upon reception of a notification by the first server from the point of sale device, the first server diverts the purchase notification to the second server, and distributes one or more functions to the second server to prevent the first server from slowing down.
