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 Passport® 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-SITE® 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."
