Gilbarco Veeder-Root's Car Wash Kiosk Provides "Pay at the Wash"

Integration with POS systems also allows for loyalty programs and consolidated sales reports.

Chicago, IL - USA - October 12, 2003 - Retailers will now be able to offer merchandising programs at the car wash and increase customer convenience using Gilbarco Veeder-Root's automated car wash kiosks, on display in booth #4031 at this week's NACS (National Association of Convenience Stores) Trade Show.

The kiosk, which works with Gilbarco point-of-sale systems, makes payment fast and easy. The kiosk can accept credit / debit cards (major oil networks), cash (bills and quarters) with change, and RFID devices (if supported by the POS application). A built-in proximity sensor recognizes customers when they approach, and provides voice greeting and simple instruction prompts.

"Finding more revenue opportunities has always been a key to retailers' success," said Chris Whitley, director of POS marketing. "Car washes have become an increasingly profitable trend for retailers, so we have found ways to make them more convenient for the consumer to pay and more profitable for the retailer to operate."

Because the kiosk is now connected to the POS system, retailers don't need additional credit networks or phone lines. In addition, the connectivity allows for consolidated car wash reports at the POS so retailers can keep track of all their car wash sales in one place.

The kiosk uses multi-level security to prevent break-ins. Visual and audible alarms on the kiosk and at the POS alert operators if anyone attempts to gain entry into the kiosk.
