Technology Trends in the Convenience Store Business

VeriFone highlights new back office trends at the VeriFone Customer Forum

Stamford, CT - June 1, 2009 – VeriFone (PAY,NYSE) recently held their annual customer forum. Scott Tarlow of Success Systems, Inc. was invited to present a seminar on new technology offerings and trends in the convenience store industry. One of the most important trends shown in the store automation segment was the distribution model: Software as a Service (SaaS) – a fast growing and very popular trend in vertical segments such as CRM (i.e. salesforce.com) and Accounting (i.e. Quickbookstm Online and Turbotaxtm Online).

Software as a Service delivers software through the Internet on subscription or on demand basis. Leveraging the distribution capabilities of the Internet, uses a single program to support thousands of users. The impact on the convenience store industry is expected to be tremendous. SaaS drives down the implementation and ongoing support fees to a fraction of traditional levels. Simply, SaaS is an affordable, low resource approach to deploy and maintain technology in the store environment.

SaaS will help store operators to re-focus on operation rather than on technology. SaaS applications will benefit store owners by levering their current POS investment, making considerably more affordable store automation tools, simplifying store implementation as well as getting a great data source for strategic business decisions from any computer with Internet access.

Moreover, SaaS will allow store operators to reduce internal IT staff, minimize individual PC maintenance, reduce risk of losing data while minimizing the upfront capital expense associated with software licensing and implementation.

Success Systems, Inc., a VeriFone back office partner, also presented it SaaS offering: ePBtm family, a complete product line that includes: ePB Lite, ePB Premium, ePB Books and ePB Accounting. ePB brings a feature-rich web based applications that let store owners: centralize and manage store prices; initiate promotions by day of the week and hour of the day; receive automatic product, delivery and pricing updates from wholesalers; keep control of store’s profits by managing both item and department’s margins; simplifying store’s bookkeeping and daily reconciliation; manage fuel, ground storage, and EPA/UST reporting requirements; manage store inventory based on sales activity, among other features.

Strategic Partnership with Royal Buying Group

Partnership – A Win-Win Situation for Royal Buying Group Members

Stamford, CT. January 08, 2009 - Royal Buying Group the leading convenience store buying group and Success Systems, Inc., a leading provider of both web enabled and PC based scanning, inventory control, store automation tools and customer Loyalty solutions for convenience and grocery stores, have announced a preferred partnership.

RBG members will be able to implement automation solutions at the lowest prices available in the industry today. This program is available to any competitive buying group member or retailer who enrolls as a Royal Buying Group Member.

Left behind are the times when store automation was affordable only for large c-store chains and supermarkets. The web based product line brings automation tools to the retailers at fraction of the prices retailers are accustomed to seeing. Store owners no longer have to sign long-term commitments and spend 5-15 thousand dollars per site to implement a solution.

“Many people still believe that automation requires a lot of money and time. This is exactly what single store and smaller retail chains don’t have while they run their store on daily basis. However, nowadays “Mom & Pop’s” c-stores can get access to automation solutions that respond to their needs without paying thousands of dollars or struggling to set it up and keeping it running. Now many if not all of these issues are resolved. Interestingly a number of our stores are mid and larger size chains that implemented other price book solutions first, then added ours after finding their original programs to be to expense, cumbersome and labor intensive to maintain.” Mark Lotstein, Vice President of Internet Product Sales.

The convenience store industry has been evolving in the last few years and now it is possible for store owners to get access to a point-of-sale (POS) system and back office tools that bring more control and profit to their business for as little as a few dollars a month. The secure Internet solution allows retailers to access and change prices and view inventory or sales activity from any place they can access the Internet.

The Stamford, Connecticut based company with offices in California offers a host of PC and web based scanning, inventory, merchandising, and back office and customer loyalty products specifically designed to measurably increase the revenue and profits of any size convenience store operation.
