A method for generating a recommendation to a customer includes detecting, in a first terminal that is part of a distributed terminal system in a commercial enterprise, an identifier for a first product. The identifier is detected in connection with a customer of the commercial enterprise, the first product being registered as belonging to a portion of the commercial enterprise assigned to the first terminal. Several other terminals in the distributed terminal system are prompted, after detecting the identifier, to generate recommendations intended for the customer. The generated recommendations are received, each generated by one of the prompted terminals using the detected identifier and a database local to that prompted terminal. At least one of the received recommendations are presented to the customer. Each presented recommendation is selected using a reputation value for the corresponding prompted terminal in a database local to the first terminal.
