NOVA Selects bay6 for Electronic Check Service

BackOfficebay6 Enterprise Software to Facilitate Check Image Uploads

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (www.AllPayNews.com) -- bay6, LLC today announced that it has executed an agreement with NOVA Information Systems to provide NOVA with a customized version of bay6's BackOfficebay6 Enterprise Software to facilitate back-office check imaging as a component of NOVA's Electronic Check Service (ECS) solution. NOVA selected bay6 to develop and support the back-office image upload component of its ECS solution based on bay6's successful track record in the electronic check processing and retail point-of-sale industries.

"It was clear from our first meeting with bay6 that they understood our needs and that their solution had the features we required," said Amy Gutierrez, vice president, Strategic Business Development, NOVA. "Their responsiveness and commitment to our success was evident from start to finish. We recently completed a 48-store customer rollout that went extremely well, with no need for intensive onsite training."

"bay6 is excited to be part of a solution that allows multi-lane retailers to leverage the efficiencies and cost benefits of electronic check processing," said Victoria Stenberg, executive vice president, bay6, LLC. "This relationship expands our target customer base, enabling us to reach major retailers and multi-lane chains. Our robust, easy-to-use products incorporate data security and extensive reporting and balancing capabilities. It was a visionary product that was just waiting for back-office conversion to emerge."

By automating labor-intensive check processing tasks, bay6 products reduce the time and costs associated with check handling. Daily trips to the bank can be eliminated, since all checks can be electronically presented for payment. Because check data, including the handwritten amount, is automatically extracted, thereby eliminating the need for data entry, employees can focus on other tasks. Data can be easily accessed for future accounting, reporting, auditing and data mining purposes.
