Passport POS System Now Available for Shell Marketers
Retailers seeing real returns with the system
Greensboro, N.C. - March 6, 2006 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root and Shell Oil
Products US announce the availability of the PassportĀ® Point of Sale
System for Shell branded retail fuel outlets. Passport is a touch
screen POS, built with modular software and standard POS hardware for
best value and site-level impact. It is the approved upgrade path from
Gilbarco's G-SITEĀ® POS.
"We rely on our POS providers to support our goal of delivering robust,
reliable and cost effective solutions," said Sonny Sedate, global site
systems - operations manager for Shell. "Our commitment to operational
excellence and increased customer focus continues."
Other retailers also enjoy the extensive merchandising and loyalty
engine inherent in Passport, according to Kirsten Paust, Gilbarco
Veeder-Root's POS marketing manager. "Our customers like the ability to
run integrated quick service restaurants seamlessly, drive promotions,
and implement loyalty programs."
New West Petroleum, a direct open retailer for Shell based in
Sacramento, is seeing real returns with the upgrade of their G-SITE
locations to Passport. Chris Moore, New West's Vice President of Retail
said, "G-SITE is a great system, but the possibilities are truly
unlimited with Passport. Cashiers love the unlimited macro keys
-- this replaces a key ring full of bar codes at our G-SITE
locations. This benefit, along with the security functionality in
Passport, has already considerably improved site operations."
