Comdata and Fiscal Complete Marketing Alliance for Integrated POS/Back Office System

BRENTWOOD, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 29, 2005--Comdata Corporation, a leading provider of payment systems for the transportation and retail industries, announced today the completion of a marketing agreement with Fiscal Systems, a provider of integrated back-office and point-of-sale systems for travel centers, to market Fiscal's Trav Star 1 system.

Trav Star 1, which will be marketed by Comdata with some additional features under the OmniDesq brand(TM), is a totally integrated, real-time point-of-sale system that ties all of a merchant's revenue centers--fuel, restaurant, general merchandise and more--into one seamless POS-to-back office solution, including touch-screen and POS scanning technology, inventory control, employee scheduling, a loyalty program and more.

“Fiscal's POS system has all the bells and whistles a merchant needs to make fuel and other purchases simple for the customer. With the features we're adding to create OmniDesq--Comchek, SmartFuel and FDIS--we think we have the optimal solution for merchants.”

Comdata will add its Comchek(R), SmartFuel(TM) and FDIS transaction processing capabilities to create the OmniDesq product.

"With this alliance, Comdata and Fiscal have given the industry the most comprehensive, cost-saving POS and back-office system in the industry," Scott Wombold, senior vice president and general manager of Comdata's Merchant Services Division, said. "Fiscal's POS system has all the bells and whistles a merchant needs to make fuel and other purchases simple for the customer. With the features we're adding to create OmniDesq--Comchek, SmartFuel and FDIS--we think we have the optimal solution for merchants."

Comdata will continue to offer its Trendar(R) fuel point-of-sale equipment for merchants who need a fuel-desk-only solution. As with all Comdata products, the company will support OmniDesq with 24-hour customer service.

"Fiscal has developed the most comprehensive POS and back-office system in the trucking industry," Kevin Struthers, Fiscal executive vice president, said. "It seamlessly ties all systems within a merchant's facility together into one system ands gives merchants the equipment they need at point of sale to enhance their sales and marketing activity. Our alliance with Comdata 'dots the i' by including Comchek and other transactions. Plus, their customer service is unsurpassed in this industry and will be a tremendous asset for our customers."

Development is being finalized but the companies anticipate being in the marketplace with the new offering in the fall.
