Orem, UT (PRWEB) June 4, 2003 -- Q Comm International, Inc. (OTC BB: QCCM), a leading provider of prepaid transaction processing and electronic point-of-sale (POS) distribution solutions, today announced that Marceco Ltd., a wholesaler of prepaid telecommunication products, has selected Q Comms transaction processing platform and Qxpress 200 POS technology for the electronic distribution of prepaid services through Marcecos retail network. Under an agreement between the companies, Marceco will purchase Qxpress 200 terminals and pay Q Comm a fee for each transaction processed through the terminals. Rollout of a limited number of terminals has just begun. Marceco intends to eventually install Qxpress terminals in all 400 retail locations that it services.

In addition to selling Q Comms products, Marceco will be selling its products through the Qxpress system and pay Q Comm a percentage of revenue derived from those sales. Initially, Q Comm will manage all transaction processing and reporting. Marceco has begun transitioning into Q Comms service bureau model under which it will be responsible for PIN management and funds settlement. Under the service bureau model, Marceco will pay Q Comm a fee for each transaction processed through the terminals.

Q Comms transaction processing center (TPC) and Qxpress 200 point-of-sale activation (POSA) terminals enable service providers, such as wireless carriers, and their distributors to electronically distribute their prepaid airtime to retail points of sale. This replaces traditional hard cards (also known as scratch cards or vouchers) which are costly to distribute. Q Comms prepaid TPC and POSA technologies also provide more comprehensive reporting and inventory management.

After carefully examining all POSA options in the marketplace today, we have chosen Q Comms platform and technology," said Dave Den Herder, CEO of Marceco Ltd. We believe that Q Comms system offers us the best tools to be competitive in todays dynamic environment. Not only does Q Comm enable us to continue selling the same products under our own contracts as we have done for years, but also they give us access to other prepaid products and allow us to become a service bureau which gives us greater control and flexibility in the delivery of services.

While weve just launched our first few Qxpress units, our goal is to eventually replace hard cards with Q Comms POSA system in all 400 retail locations we service," continued Den Herder. Making the switch will help us become a much more efficient and competitive company. Until now we have offered terms to many of our retail locations, which ties up a lot of our capital and makes it difficult to expand. Now with Qxpress well be able to deliver products in a just-in-time format, free a lot of our capital, and increase our ability to grow. The traditional form of business also necessitates visiting each store once every one to two weeks to restock inventory. Now we anticipate needing to visit each retail location only once every four to six weeks to make sure product is being merchandised correctly. Under the new system of distribution, one person can probably serve four times as many retail locations as in the past."

Den Herder added, Our retailers will also benefit. Theyll no longer need to be concerned with employee theft or running out of inventory. Plus its much more convenient for them as funds are automatically ACHd out of their accounts."

Stephen C. Flaherty, president of Q Comm International said, We are pleased that Marceco has chosen Q Comm as their electronic distribution partner. They are a quality organization that prizes excellent service, improved efficiencies, and flexibility. They will soon mark an important milestone for Q Comm by becoming our first service bureau located in the United States. We look forward to working with them as our newest partner."
