VendTek Systems Inc. develops, markets, and sells e-Fresh,
which is a suite of software applications use to electronically
distribute prepaid telecommunication products and financial
services. Commercialization of e-Fresh under license is VendTek's
strategy to create sustainable and recurring revenues.
VendTek's
customers and its subsidiaries, Now Prepay Corp. and VendTek
Systems Technologies (Beijing), are using e-Fresh software
to build electronic, prepaid services networks which enable
consumers to purchase prepaid services via POS and self-serve
terminals connected to a central server. This system creates
significant value through improved efficiencies compared to
the traditional distribution paradigm. e-Fresh reduces shrinkage
and inventory requirements while improving consumer access
to prepaid services since it is completely electronic and
eliminates physical cards and vouchers.
