RIPON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE via COLLEGIATE PRESSWIRE)--Nov. 11, 2005--Alliance Laundry Systems, the manufacturer of Speed Queen and leading laundry manufacturer in North America announced today that USA Technologies`(OTC Bulletin Board:USTT) e-Suds services are available to current users of and future purchasers of Speed Queen commercial laundry equipment.

The e-Suds system was designed to be installed on new or existing laundry equipment in the field. The e-Suds System enables users to go online to see if there are washers or dryers available in the laundry room and be notified via email to their computer, PDA or cell phone when the cycles are complete. And in a college or university setting, it enables students to use their student ID/one care system to pay for their wash.

The e-Suds system developed by USA Technologies is a web based system that sends email to students when their laundry is done and allows them to log on to an internet site to check the status of laundry machines. USA Technologies also provides credit card and other paper less payment systems for vending and digital imaging industries. The e-Suds system will interface with USA Technologies or other OEM card payment systems. The laundry machines are supplied independently by route operators.

Alliance Laundry Systems is the manufacturer of Speed Queen and Huebsch (Canada) commercial laundry equipment utilized in residence hall laundry rooms. The interface of the e-Suds system will broaden the range of Speed Queen and Huebsch products and models that can be connected to a web server showing laundry machine availability to students from the comfort of their dorm room. USA Technologies offers e-Suds links to a proprietary card payment system or will interface with OEM card reader manufacturers for one card on or off line payment systems.

Currently Speed Queen`s NetMaster model line provides the capability of networking laundry machines to Alliance`s ''Wash Alert System'' showing laundry machine availability through the college web site. The e-Suds System can be adapted to new or existing Speed Queen`s other model lines.

''We are excited about the new opportunities available to Speed Queen Route Operators with the USA Technologies e-Suds system,'' says Dick Casey, Director of Sales, MHS, Alliance Laundry Systems.

Information on Speed Queen & Huebsch (Canada) laundry equipment and models that are pending final certification by USA Technologies will be distributed at the NACAS 37th Annual Conference, Marriott River Center, San Antonio, Texas, November 13-16 at the Alliance-Speed Queen booth number 80.
