In both cases, Aqubanc was able to help each mission steward their resources by eliminating the need to double-key data, improving accuracy, and, deposit their donations faster with electronic check conversion. We are excited about the continued growth and collaboration that we are seeing with SofTrek and their entire PledgeMaker community for these technologies."

Robert Bellitto, SofTreks Directors of Sales stated: We referred Aqubanc into one of our largest clients to improve their fund raising experiences. We are delighted to partner with Aqubanc.

Aqubanc provides PledgeMaker users with Digital Check, Kodak and Opex image scanners and Zebra printers for use with CharacTell software including CheckStorm and FormStorm Enterprise.

These technologies accelerate how checks are deposited and, how data can be recognized from the donation and order fulfillment documents without the use of barcodes, scan line or other distracting marks. This is the first set of technologies to make the non-profits Development and Operations groups equally happy.
