Gilbarco's Passport® POS Now Offers Improved Standardization with Wayne® Dispenser and CAT Control
Direct interface lowers maintenance costs
GREENSBORO, NC - October 9, 2006 - Gilbarco Veeder-Root announced today that
their Passport point of sale system's new software version enables direct
control of Wayne pumps and card readers.
This capability allows customers with multiple dispenser brands to
standardize on one POS system across their network of sites, simplifying
operation and reducing maintenance costs. In addition, the lack of a third
party interface box between the POS and the dispenser eliminates a common
failure point and improves time to market for new feature development at the
forecourt.
Slade Klack, vice president operations at Richard Oil, a MS fuel
marketer, said, "Our migration to Passport at our Wayne dispenser locations
has been incredibly smooth. Richard Oil has already benefited through
improved efficiency and reduced training costs."
The integrated system also supports Wayne's submersible pump controller,
debit via the Debit Security Module (DSM) and injected DUKPT keypads at the
dispenser, as well as their implementation of RFID payment.
Gilbarco Veeder-Root's rigorous testing program contributes directly to the
smooth implementation their customers have seen in the field, according to
Kirsten Paust, Gilbarco's vice president for global retail systems. "We
take each release of software through extensive testing against the different
pump types that are supported in the software. This, coupled with our
well-trained service network in the field, result in the highest quality
interface available," said Paust.
Wayne CPC is one of the new features introduced in Passport Version 5 at the
NACS Show in Las Vegas October 9-11. Other features include the Mannatec/CFN
Interface, a new Security Camera Interface and an interface to Cash Acceptors at
the pump. Visit the Gilbarco Veeder-Root booth #4345 for a
demonstration of these new features.
