The backbone of the Bolero System is the Core Messaging Platform, which enables users to exchange electronic trade documents via the Internet. The system is secure, is underpinned by a unique legal structure, and is maintained by a trusted third party. All messages between users are validated. All messages are acknowledged, and notifications are provided as requested.
Additional messages determine whether the recipient accepts or refuses the stated offer.
Another major feature is the Title Registry application, which allows for the ownership of goods to be exchanged online. Finally, bolero.net is committed to maintaining an open, non-proprietary system, and as a result has not developed any user interfaces or software.
