Gilbarco Veeder-Root Releases Passport Version 5 for ConocoPhillips retailers

Gilbarco Veeder-Root Releases Passport® Version 5
for ConocoPhillips® retailers

Wide Array of New Features Work on Multiple Networks

GREENSBORO, NC – February 21, 2007 – Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s newest version of its touch screen point of sale system, Passport® Version 5, has been approved for the ConocoPhillips payment network.

This release makes Passport available to a much wider range of retailers. Passport Version 5 can control dispensers with pay-at-the-pump from Gilbarco® or Dresser Wayne®. Retailers with security cameras or cash acceptors on their fueling islands can now interface with those items directly through this new version of Passport. In addition, fleet-fueling cards can be accepted, as Version 5 has a full interface for Mannatec® and Commercial Fueling Network® payment systems.

“This is a significant milestone for customers who have wanted to adopt the industry’s most reliable and easiest to use POS system, but could not use Passport previously,” said Kirsten Paust, vice president, global retail systems. ”Passport Version 5 is now approved on most of the major oil company networks to benefit multi-branded retailers. It provides powerful merchandising tools and seamlessly integrates with other equipment on site. The simplicity of operating and maintaining the system enables retailers to focus more of their time on providing excellent service.”

Dan Kernan, price book manager for R. H. Smith in Grandview, WA, was one of the first ConocoPhillips retailers to get Passport Version 5 during field trials. He operates seven Smitty’s Conoco locations and has been able to reduce three POS systems to just one.

“We are impressed with how simple and user-friendly Passport is,” Kernan said. “Tracking, category management, and shelf management are much easier. We are able to define the reports to give us the specific information we need in a format that’s easy to use.”
