CORECARD ADDS LIFT TO SUPPLIER CAPITAL COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Company’s Technology Speeds Supplier Capital’s Customer Acquisition Strategy

NORCROSS, Ga., August 22 – CoreCard Software, Inc., a *PaySys International spin-off and premier provider of real-time payment management and credit card transaction processing systems today announced the successful pilot implementation of CoreENGINE, the company’s real-time universal lending software platform at Supplier Capital, LLC, a financial applications service provider with clients that include GE Capital. Supplier Capital’s Web-based service, which is powered by CoreENGINE, enables GE Capital Commercial Services to extend its service offerings to small to medium-sized manufacturers and wholesale suppliers – a previously untapped market segment.

“Consistently offering new features and other system enhancements are integral to our competitive strategy, but time and availability of resources are constant challenges,” said John B. Hayes, president and chief executive officer at Supplier Capital. “The use of CoreCard’s technology as our underlying software platform for release 2.0 of our application has made these virtually non-issues. We were able to cut our development time by half, develop a more robust application that has been available 24/7, offer more functionality and even enroll new clients.”

Since the beginning of the three-month pilot, Supplier Capital’s powered-by-CoreENGINE service has successfully processed transactions for more than 200 companies with no down time. Use of the software platform enabled Supplier Capital to offer its customers advanced functionality such as error-free transmission to GE Capital, automated dissemination of critical business information both up and down a corporation’s organizational hierarchy and access to transactions by the client’s field sales force.
