Gilbarco Veeder-Root Announces More Flexibility in Passport Offering
New modular design allows retailers to build the POS they need
Orlando, FL - October 6, 2002 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root today announced
major design enhancements to its Passport POS, providing maximum
scalability and flexibility for the convenience store industry.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root recognized their customers' need to tailor a point
of sale solution rather than fit every business into a standard
product. C-stores in a variety of market segments can now configure the
system that is most appropriate for each store they operate.
Passport, a powerful system for managing merchandise, captures and
reports on transaction level data. Its intuitive design helps speed
transactions and train employees faster, minimizing the effects of
employee turnover. A dynamic real-time database, NACS-standard XML data
exchange, and QSR functionality with kitchen monitor interface make
Passport the ideal POS in today's complex convenience store
environment. Passport's add-on feature modules accommodate retailers'
businesses as they grow and change.
While the base Passport system is a solid foundation that might be
exactly what a customer needs today, additional feature modules may be
added to the system, giving the customer the flexibility to build a
c-store into a multi-business unit retail center.
Using Passport's Enhanced Store module, retailers can maximize
dry-stock margins. This feature module gives retailers greater
inventory control and more extensive sales tracking - tools that become
essential as stores increase their product mix.
The Enhanced Reporting module offers increased reporting flexibility.
Configurable reports and key statistical reports boost managers'
productivity and allow them to spend more time with customers in the
store.
For retailers who aggressively package special offers, Passport's
Advanced Merchandising module adds unparalleled promotional and pricing
options with the tools to drive these offers directly to their
customers.
The Employee Management module gives retailers increased control over
employee operations, helping to reduce shrink and waste and improve
cashier efficiency by tracking additional data for greater employee
accountability.
With the scalable Passport system and its adaptable feature modules,
retailers will be able to get, and pay for, the point of sale solution
that makes the most sense for them.
