DALLAS and DUBLIN, Ireland, Jan. 31, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Trintech (Nasdaq:TTPA) (Prime Standard: TTP), a leading provider of transaction reconciliation and payment infrastructure solutions, today announced that S&K Famous Brands, a retailer of menswear with stores in 27 states, has selected Trintech's DataFlow Transaction Network to collect, format and deliver daily banking data, and ReconNET to automate the verification and reconciliation of its cash and checks with its banks. S&K Famous Brands expects to further improve operational control and reduce exposure to risk, while decreasing costs, improving productivity and maximizing the use of available funds.
S&K Famous Brands offers one-stop shopping and value prices for men in a traditional menswear haberdashery atmosphere. For 37 years S&K Famous Brands has been offering men a full selection of suits and sport coats, casual wear, shoes, accessories and furnishings. The company's 240 stores extend from Maine to Florida and from the East Coast to Texas.
S&K Famous Brands will utilize DataFlow and the ReconNet software solution to improve detection and resolution of transaction variances resulting in reduced write-offs. Each day the company will receive account data for its regional banks through the DataFlow Transaction Network, and use that data for automated verification and reconciliation of deposits from its stores with ReconNET. S&K Famous Brands will also use ReconNET to help manage the movement of available cash from accounts in each store's depositing bank to its concentration account.
"Time-consuming, manual daily and month-end reconciliation exposed us to occasional risks, including late or missing deposits," said Janet Jorgensen, Senior VP at S&K Famous Brands. "Now we will receive bank data daily allowing us to report on exceptions and automatically escalate them. With ReconNET and DataFlow, we expect to resolve issues even more quickly, and reduce the potential for loss and maximize cash flow."
"Smart retailers like S&K Famous Brands realize that true business efficiency comes from automating reconciliation processes," said John Harte, General Manager of Trintech's Funds Management Systems Division. "Our solutions are helping specialty apparel retailers improve productivity, processes and operational costs. We are confident that our solutions will enhance accounting and treasury processes for S&K Famous Brands, as they have for numerous other specialty apparel retailers."
