ISELIN, N.J., July 24, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On Track Innovations Ltd. (Nasdaq:OTIV) today announced that it has signed a five year agreement with Wright Express that appoints OTI as a reseller in Africa and the exclusive reseller in South Africa of Wright Express' Quantum+ solution. The Quantum+ solution provides a multi-country, multi-language, multi-currency back office solution for vehicle fleet payment device management and transaction processing services.
"The alliance with Wright Express enables OTI to offer customers a sophisticated backend system to manage their Automated Vehicle Identification (AVI) programs. This is particularly important in Africa where many petroleum retailers have no pre-existing fuel card program, and as such are not in a position to introduce an AVI system," said Oded Bashan, OTI's chairman and CEO. "The addition of the Quantum+ solution complements OTI's EasyFuel solution, and enables us to offer an end-to-end, turnkey solution to customers which is expected to increase revenues from licensing and transaction fees".
"OTI's extensive experience in petroleum payment solutions and innovative culture is a natural fit with Wright Express," said David Maxsimic, interim executive vice president of Wright Express International. "This introduces our offering to the African market and demonstrates our commitment to international growth."
