Combined technologies deliver a new industry-leading remote management solution
Greensboro, NC, May 1, 2006 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root has joined
forces with Intelio Technologies to provide customers with Intelio's
WashMAX™ Remote Monitoring and Management System as an enhancement to
Gilbarco's Fuel Management Services™ suite of site controls, alert
monitoring and remote diagnostics tools.
"Effective immediately, Gilbarco Veeder-Root can offer our customers
the most complete set of tools to improve uptime, decrease service
costs and optimize profits at the forecourt, as well as inside the car
wash," said Terry Ross, vice president and general manager of services
for Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Increasingly, fuel retailers are adding car
wash operations to boost site profits; Intelio's remote monitoring and
merchandising tools are a great complement to Gilbarco's SMART Connect™
and SMART Merchandising™."
WashMAX provides a complete suite of tools that empower convenience
store operators to remotely manage carwash operations to optimize
uptime, gauge performance metrics and launch multi-site marketing.

reacting to items that require their immediate attention."

improve customer retention and remotely manage even more of their
operations," added Brad Young, Gilbarco's SMART Connect product
