Wiz-Tec announces commencement to provide development for platform
change for Pay at the Pump
in conjunction with Moneris and Federated Co-op, for Federated Co-op.
Calgary, Alberta, October 6th, 04 – Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies
Inc. announced today that Federated Co-op,
in conjunction with Moneris business solutions Inc. have granted Wiz-Tec
the go ahead to begin developing VisualGas
Pay at the Pump for the transition from Connex to Base 24.
“Moneris announced the platform change in late 2003, and Wiz-Tec
is pleased to be involved in the product for FCL,
which currently uses Wiz-Tec’s VisualGas (Pay at the Pump) software
in various FCL gas bar locations across Western
Canada”, commented Wiz-Tec’s William Macdonell, VP Operations
and Director of Corporate Development. “This is
significant for Federated Co-op and Moneris, as it will allow them to
provide higher security measures than in the past when
the customer is using debit or credit in their transactions. The new protocols
add several new layers of protection in the
transaction process for the customer, and FCL and Moneris are very forward
thinking given that some of the security features
we are preparing to integrate with the POS product are not even regulations
yet”.
Wiz-Tec Computing Technologies Inc. was founded in 1990, and its corporate
head office is based out of Calgary,
Alberta, Canada. In 1992, Wiz-Tec was already involved in POS projects,
when it realized that significant components
of the Retail Gas Industries POS (Point of Sale) product were lacking
components that were crucial to the ability of the
retailer to run their business effectively. So Wiz-Tec began building
the necessary modules required to provide a
100% solution.
Since that time Wiz-Tec has sold its software, directly and through dealers,
to over 1500 sites in Canada and the US,
as well as developed new, more sophisticated software with applications
in Government, Fleet card, and Small Business
environments. We have customers that do not even know they run our software.
Today, Wiz-Tec is working hard towards quickly becoming a major player
in the Canadian claims industry, as well as creating
economical, easy to deploy solutions for Fleet card and loyalty based
retail programs. Wiz-Tec’s greatest efforts are centered
around innovative applications for existing technologies in order to breath
new life into them, while creating cost effective
solutions for our customers, both new and old.
Wiz-Tec maintains over 1.5 million lines of source code in over 20 software
products, some of which are as popular today as
the day they were released
