Intertraffic Amsterdam 2004 - 3C consolidates its position as market leader in the Parking industry!

In April 2004 3C enjoyed great success at Intertraffic 2004 in Amsterdam, the worlds largest dedicated parking and traffic fair. A record number of 24,109 visitors attended the exhibition over the 4 days, from over 109 different countries.

The 3C’s stand was represented by 10 key sales and technical staff from the various European offices. Intertraffic provided 3C an excellent platform to communicate its commitment to providing integrated payment solutions to existing and new national markets.

Visitors to 3C’s stand included existing customers and new prospects interested to learn more about 3C’s new range of products and technical enhancements. Visitor profiles included key decision makers from airport authorities, car park operators to local government offices. 3C staff gained active leads from Europe, North America, Asia and Australasia.

The exhibition clearly demonstrated the market potential for 3C within the parking industry. The challenge which 3C are committed to meeting is ensuring the high levels of customer service demanded are continually improved within a constantly evolving market.

Fexco and 3C - joint DCC solution for the global T&E market!

Fexco, the global market leader in the delivery of Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) credit card services to merchants and acquiring banks, and 3C Communications, the leading EFT provider in EAME join hands to provide the Travel and Entertainment market segment with a global integrated DCC solution. With the long standing experience in the DCC/Multi Currency and EFT environment it is only a natural step for both Fexco and 3C to seek a close cooperation and provide integrated DCC card processing solutions to the Card Present and Card Not Present industries.

By looking at the services offered by both companies, and the expansion plans and territories covered by Fexco and 3C today the synergies between the two companies become obvious, as the products and services compliment each other across Europe and lay a basis for the expansion to markets such as North America, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. The main target for the cooperation is to realise global DCC and EFT solutions, as this is what the T&E market is striving and waiting for a long time.

The initial target markets for Fexco and 3C Communications are UK and Ireland, the Nordic Region, as well as Benelux. The provision of fully integrated DCC credit card services will prove to the market that an integrated DCC environment makes the difference to what else is available in the market and enables the T&E market to focus on the main aspects of the business: Guest Satisfaction.

SACHER & 3CIntegra - Tradition goes Future!

Vienna – May 2004: 3C Communications is very proud to announce the cooperation with SACHER Austria.

SACHER is one of the worldwide know brands and one of the hallmarks of Austrian history and tradition. With two hotels (Vienna & Salzburg) and four Cafés, SACHER is not only an attraction to tourists, but moreover “A Place To Be” for people from all over the world.

Having worked with local acquiring banks and stand-alone-devices before switching to 3C´s integrated solution, SACHER decided to implement 3CIntegra, because of four major reasons:

- Optimized processes at the front- and the back-office.
- Improved guest services.
- Financial benefits by partnering with international acquiring banks.
- Secure payments due to pre-authorized amunts.

Convincing an international, but also very local enrooted company shows once again, the importance of being open-minded to international solutions and the strength of 3CIntegra also in local markets.
