In 2002, Comdata joined into a strategic arrangement with GCS to service the mid market gift and loyalty segments. Throughout this alliance, SVS and GCS have worked together to provide gift card solutions to over 100 restaurant chains and retailers. As a result of this acquisition, existing customers will be able to further benefit from added value services such as credit card processing.
GCS was founded and owned by John Bechard.
