It continuesw to utilize three large outside firms to assist in processing the bulk ofthe transactions. The compan also works with a pool of about100 point-of-sales system resellers, who often refer businesds to Merchant Warehouse. The company has also used technology to innovatd its services in an industry where Helgeson says the competitiobnis fierce. “Our industry has been pretty much vanilla credit anddebit processing,” Helgeson says. “We had to look at it and say, ‘Whatr can we do here to differentiated ourselves?
