Point-of-sale reseller garners innovative solution award for use of mercuryalerts

Dealer Detects Fraud With Mercury Payment Systems’ New e-Alerts Tool

Las Vegas, NV —July 16, 2008 —Mercury Payment Systems’ reseller partner, Bill Fultz, Operations Manager of Delaware Business Systems (DBS) received the first annual Innovative Solution Award by Retail Solutions Providers Association (RSPA) and Vertical Systems Reseller (VSR) magazine.

Fultz received the honor in the credit/processing category for his application of MercuryAlerts™, a new e-notification technology from integrated payments processor, Mercury Payment Systems.

After just one week of using MercuryAlerts, Fultz corrected 10 merchant payment processing issues, saved merchants thousands in processing fees, and deposited over $70,000 in unclaimed funds. Fultz also followed a trail of unusual activity flagged early on by MercuryAlerts to uncover two cases of fraud: managers abusing their POS system access to issue credits to their personal debit cards.

Only six prizes were awarded to resellers of retail technology at the July 15 RSPA Awards Banquet held during RetailNow 2008 convention and expo in Las Vegas, NV. The award recognizes outstanding achievements in delivering technology solutions to small and medium-sized businesses. The judging criteria include creativity, uniqueness, enhancing the industry as a whole, and cost-efficiency and impact on the end user.

“Fultz’s daily use of MercuryAlerts to address issues before they become significant problems demonstrates the power of this technology,” said Shelley Plomske, Mercury’s Vice President of Technical Services. “With MercuryAlerts, Mercury and our reseller partners are raising the bar on proactive customer service.”
