Click-to-Pay™ Technology Earns SofterWare Inc. its First Patent

December 6, 2011, Horsham, PA – SofterWare Inc., the developers of EZ-CARE2, a leading childcare management software solution for daycare centers and school-age programs, announced today that they have been awarded a US government patent on their system for email based invoicing and online payment. The system uses "smart-links" to provide one-click access to a personalized online payment form that is automatically populated with all the data necessary for customers to make credit card or e-check payments. The technology minimizes data entry and eliminates the need for payers to log in to a customer portal, making it fast and easy for the payment transaction to be completed.

Doug Schoenberg, CEO and Co-Founder of SofterWare, Inc., stated "We have a long history of providing innovative solutions to help daycare directors improve billing and payment collection, and Click-to-Pay was an immediate hit with our clients and their customers. Having seen many of our past innovations copied by competitors, we're delighted to have our technology protected by this patent."
