MPTUS is a new distribution and management solution for prepaid mobile phone reloads developed using Microsoft technologies and ISO8583 message of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) terminals.

With MPTUS, mobile operators can now eliminate sourcing, acquiring, logistics and management of physical prepaid reloads coupons. Retailers can now using their existing credit card terminal to sell prepaid reloads to mobile phone users. Unlike the conventional prepaid methods, which typically involve cash on delivery of stock, the retailer does not need to maintain an inventory of physical reload prepaid coupons with stored values. MPTUS allows them to practice just-in-time inventory. The retailer does not need to worry about running out of stock of prepaid reload coupons.

MPTUS carries the customized abilities to prepay anything, including Internet access, Internet cash, Internet data service, or car washes. Once installed in a retail location, virtually any item can be prepaid through the EDC terminal, effectively opening a conduit through which retailers can funnel multiple products from a variety of suppliers and mobile operators.

MPTUS forms an integral part of a nationwide electronic transaction processing retail merchant network, combining a credit/debit payment application with a mobile phone top-up service at the point-of-sale. Rather than stocking a drawer full of cards, retailers can create a fully electronic environment by using a Hypercom eftPOS terminal equipped with a specially developed pre-pay Top Up software application. They can enter the requested top-up value, network operator selection and appropriate mobile telephone account number directly into the Hypercom eftPOS terminal via simple prompts displayed on the LED screen display. MPTUS also provides access to business views and daily, weekly and monthly reports to provide Mobile Operators with a better idea and an insight view of the spending trend analysis of the prepaid customers.
