ENCINITAS, Calif., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Com-Guard Inc. (Pink Sheets: CGUD) signed a nationally recognized management company to re-sell its Transactional Cash Engine Software. Com-Guard Inc. forecasts that further such agreements could generate $1.5 million in revenues over the next 12 months. Procuro Inc. provides operational monitoring and management solutions to clients such as Arby's, Bob Evans, Burger King, Hardees and McDonald's Europe. Under this first contract, Procuro Inc. has agreed to market the Transactional Cash Engine Software to clients to build customer loyalty programs. Stuart Graham, Com-Guard's Strategic Sales and Marketing advisor, said there are unlimited potential resellers for the software program. "A target of $150,000 on average per reseller is realistic. In the loyalty card segment alone we believe signing 15 to 25 resellers is achievable in this fiscal year," Graham said. The Transactional Cash Engine Software allows retailers to keep track of marketing trends on one database. Com-Guard's CEO, Edward W. Savarese, said most retailers using customer discount cards, including supermarket chains, do not capture the purchase history of the customer to build loyalty and marketing programs. "The Transactional Cash Engine Software allows retailers to reduce finance charges by putting money onto the card for purchases," Savarese said. "The software also compiles detailed and invaluable customer information." Procuro Inc. has access to dozens of merchant clients and has been a leader in providing a streamlined operational database. The deal with Com-Guard Inc. gives Procuro the advantage of offering another software solution to its clients. "Procuro has the opportunity to sell these solutions to its customers. The retailer will save transaction fees and the consumer will be rewarded with savings and gifts as decided by the merchant. Com-Guard Inc. will generate revenue by charging a small percentage per transaction," Savarese said. Com-Guard Inc. has commenced a Sales and Marketing program to target four growth opportunities. Other market opportunities are being identified. Loyalty Card Programs - Retailers are finding it more costly to accept Credit Card payments and develop customer loyalty.
