Gilbarco and RedPrairie Announce Remote Management Tool for Passport® Point of Sale

GREENSBORO, N.C. – April 28, 2008 – Retailers who operate Gilbarco’s Passport® point of sale system will soon be able to remotely manage their network of sites from a central location. Gilbarco and RedPrairie will deliver an integrated remote management solution to provide centralized control for Passport configuration, fuel price management, store reports, and software version maintenance to one or multiple sites.

Gilbarco Inc. and RedPrairie Corporation will deliver these features in Passport Version 9, independently from the retailers back office package. The basic features of the remote management tool will be demonstrated at NACStech, Booth 101, May 5 – 7 at the Gaylord Texan resort in Dallas.

“With the current trend toward multi-site ownership and the volatility of fuel prices and margins, it’s more important than ever for retailers to be able to manage multiple sites and multiple brands more closely and respond to competition in real time from their desktop,” said Greg Davis, Passport marketing manager at Gilbarco Veeder-Root.

Gilbarco Veeder-Root chose RedPrairie as their partner because of their experience and leadership in consumer-driven optimization at over 32,000 sites worldwide, including many of the world’s largest companies. RedPrairie’s E2e™ solutions promote consumer loyalty by synchronizing people, products and information at the right place and time across the retailer’s value chain of manufacturers, distributors and retail locations. RedPrairie’s E2e retail solutions include Workforce Management, Site Operations, Performance Management, and Execution Management.

“This partnership is an important step towards our goal of serving all segments of the petroleum convenience store industry,” said Kim Eaton, executive vice president of field operations Americas for RedPrairie. “Teaming with Gilbarco, we will be able to offer a full suite of solutions which will benefit their customer base, beginning with remote management. We are very glad to be chosen by such a large, well respected company within the petroleum marketplace.”

Passport is one of the industry’s most popular Payment Application Best Practices (PABP) certified point of sale systems and is approved on all major networks. It provides a highly intuitive touch screen interface that minimizes training time, errors and shrinkage. Passport provides seamless connectivity and standardization, powerful business information and security features, sophisticated business growth tools and easy expandability.
