Greg Mahoney states, "It is extremely difficult for a reseller in the marketplace to arrange product procurement, installation, processing, leasing, maintenance, ach services, statement preparation, the list goes on – we fill the gap. We are not an ISO, we are a straightforward provider of services and products. It is all about core competency, if it is not a core competency of the customer, we step in."
