DALLAS, Jan. 20, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Superclick, Inc. (OTCBB:SPCK) today announced that it has achieved its initial sales into the European hospitality market through its recently established OEM agreement with Locatel. Superclick anticipates that this new channel relationship with Locatel will expand its footprint into both the hospitality and the healthcare markets throughout Europe.
Under the terms of its agreement, Superclick will provide Locatel with 13 servers under the "LIHSA" (Locatel Internet High Speed Access) brand. Each server will be outfitted with Superclick's software platform for IP-based data management, and will be supported by Superclick's 24x7 helpdesk over a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) system. The servers will be deployed throughout hotels in Italy, France and Romania, providing world-class data management and support to an estimated 1,100 to 1,800 rooms.
Superclick's VP of Business Development, Sandro Natale, commented that "This initial order solidifies our relationship with Locatel, and we are looking forward to working with Locatel going forward to build its data management footprint throughout Europe. In doing so, we will be focused on delivering best-in-class service and support to meet Locatel's needs, and on providing them with added depth, differentiation and cost-savings through the numerous value-added IP-based applications that our platform provides."
This entrance into Europe is an important milestone and substantial opportunity for Superclick to build on its expanding footprint throughout the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. According to European-based research firm Ecole Hoteliere de Lausanne Institute of Technology and Entrepreneurship (www.ehlite.com), Europe retains by far the greatest hotel capacity of the six worldwide tourism regions, as defined by the World Trade Organization, with about 6.2 million rooms which is an estimated 38% of the worldwide total.
