Tranzbyte Corporation Announces Division Updates and Forecast for 2014
TEMPE, Ariz., Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Tranzbyte Corporation (OTC Pink: ERBB) announced today that its subsidiaries - Altitude Organix, OneBode International, the YO! Debit Card System, and the BancoLibre point-of-sale merchant solution have all made significant progress toward improving the company's public profile and bottom line for 2014 and beyond.
Altitude Organix Update
The Altitude Organix division, now headed by Tranzbyte president, David Gwyther has been focused on the completion of the company's proprietary "21" Machine – an automated dispensary designed to be operated solely by persons over the age of 21. "We are on the phone almost daily with our manufacturer to insure that our machine allows our customer's purchases to be as secure and easy as possible while maintaining a zero-tolerance strategy in guaranteeing our "21" machine is operated only by customers who are 21 and over," says Stephen Shearin, Tranzbyte's executive in charge of the project. "We are customizing the product offering with our ZaZZZ product line to reflect the needs of different locations in different locales for placement of our automated dispensing machines so we will be ready when the machines arrive in January." The ZaZZZ products will be those items selected to be sold in Tranzbyte's "21" Machine, and will include a wide assortment of products specifically chosen to be of interest to those who are 21 years of age and older. Shareholders may look forward to hearing more of each product accepted under the ZaZZZ banner in 2014," concludes Shearin.
BancoLibre Network Update
The BancoLibre merchant solution allows dispensary owners throughout the United States to accept credit card purchases for products purchased by customers at dispensaries which sell both medical and adult-use cannabis and cannabis-infused products. Currently most dispensaries accept only cash for these purchases. "Our BancoLibre Merchant Program, once adopted by our participating dispensaries, is expected to be widely accepted because it will represent a huge convenience to the customer while, at the same time, reduce the amount of cash on hand at the end of the day – something that has created an ongoing security issue for the stores, themselves, says Sean Loomer, Tranzbyte's Chief Operating Officer.
Virtual YO! Mastercard and YO!21 Debit Card Update
YO Cardholders can conveniently preload a virtual wallet using any one of a variety of methods – cash or cash equivalent, credit card or ACH bank transfer. Once on the network, users can make secure purchases with the one item they will always have with them - their Android or iPhone-operated smart phone. Pre-qualified YO!21 customers will also be able to operate the company's automated dispensary when that machine becomes available throughout 2014 and beyond.
"The cell phone in our world has moved from being convenient communication device to an efficient tool that people carry with them everywhere. Turning it into a payment device just makes sense," says Sean Loomer, YO21 division president. "The medical marijuana market has been challenged in the past when it comes to providing a cashless transaction for their products. By combining product advantages of different Tranzbyte subsidiaries, the Company has not just overcome that challenge but has created a system that can expand into a variety of exciting adult markets," concludes Loomer.
OneBode (pronounced One Body) Update
As promised in earlier news releases, Tranzbyte's nutritional supplement subsidiary OneBode, has had double-digit increases in revenues every month since Tranzbyte purchased the company in July. Headed by its returning original founders, Tylene Roderigues and Sean Loomer, the company continues to expand its product lines, distribution channels and revenues, and expects 2014 to be its best year yet. NBA All Star and LA Laker Steve Nash, one of the company's largest advocates and shareholders, has often given credit to the OneBode products for helping him achieve his best performance.
