VendTek Systems Inc. develops, markets, and sells e-Fresh, which is a suite of software applications use to electronically distribute prepaid telecommunication products and financial services. Commercialization of
e-Fresh under license is VendTek's strategy to create sustainable and recurring revenues.

VendTek's customers and its subsidiaries, Now Prepay Corp. and VendTek Systems Technologies (Beijing), are using e-Fresh software to build electronic, prepaid services networks which enable consumers to purchase prepaid services via POS and self-serve terminals connected to a central server. This system creates significant value through improved efficiencies compared to the traditional distribution paradigm. e-Fresh reduces shrinkage and inventory requirements while improving consumer access to prepaid services since it is completely electronic and eliminates physical cards and vouchers.
