Gilbarco Veeder-Root Announces Plans to Release Direct Interface to PDI Software

New interface means more data - faster and cheaper.

Orlando, FL - October 7, 2002 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root, the leader in fuel dispensing and control, retail and site management, and global service, announced today plans to release a direct interface from its G-SITE® POS system to Professional Datasolutions Resource Management Series (PDI/RMS) back office and accounting software. This new interface provides data in the native PDI/RMS format via FTP protocol, eliminating the need for middleware.

"This direct interface offers our G-SITE customers a faster, more efficient and reliable interface to PDI," says Chris Whitley, director of POS marketing for Gilbarco Veeder-Root. "Customers will have access to three times the G-SITE data they had using our G-SITE Link middleware. And, by using FTP, pricebook data can download up to five times faster."

"Gilbarco Veeder-Root is taking a leadership role with this new interface. Using industry standard protocols such as FTP to communicate will provide our shared customers with a much more user-friendly end-to-end solution," says Becky Barnett, PDI's vice president of customer services.

FTP is available in all of Gilbarco's G-SITE applications released over the last year and the native PDI/RMS format is being introduced across all versions in the coming months with most being available this fall.
