1. A method for processing information involving terminal operating systems, the method comprising:

  • causing, by a presentation layer processor, a TOS-agnostic interface to be displayed to a user, the interface comprising terminal operating system (TOS) management functionality;

    receiving, by the presentation layer processor, an input, via the interface, to manage the TOS management functionality;

    providing, by the presentation layer processor, a TOS-agnostic output, via the interface, indicative of a result of managing the TOS management functionality;

    determining, by a repository factory processor, a TOS type associated with the input from among a plurality of TOS types;

    constructing, by the repository factory processor, a repository instance for the TOS type, the constructing comprising selecting a first instance type from a plurality of instance types and resolving an appropriate service for the first instance type, wherein each of the plurality of instance types corresponds to one of the plurality of TOS types;

    managing, by a service layer processor, the TOS management functionality, using the repository instance to access a data source, the management generating first data having a TOS-specific format corresponding to the TOS type and data of a data type comprising at least one of reporting data, release data, and bill of lading data;

    determining, by a business logic processor, from the data type, an appropriate first business object for processing the first data from among a plurality of business objects, wherein each business object is configured to process data of a specific data type regardless of which TOS-specific format is used for the data of the specific data type;

    constructing, by the business logic processor, the first business object using the first data; and

    generating, by the business logic processor, as a function of the first business object, the TOS-agnostic output through processing of the first data;

    wherein the TOS-agnostic interface is the same regardless of which TOS type is determined to be associated with the data source, and wherein at least one of the processors is a hardware processor.
